During a showcase event hosted by Microsoft in New York City, DualShockers sat down to have a chat with Rare Studio Director Craig Duncan about the upcoming shared world adventure game Sea of Thieves.
Duncan tells us about quite a few aspects of the game, including elements of gameplay (like the hilarious ferry of the dead that acts as a rather soft and playable death penalty), the means of communication among players starting with proximity chat, Microsoft’s new Xbox One X console and much more.
Incidentally, the video also includes some rather spiffy gameplay, so that’s a bonus.
You can check out the full interview below, and if you want to see more, you can also watch a recent trailer showcasing lovely 4K visuals and an explanation of what the game is all about, another gameplay video, a gallery of recent screenshots, a video in which the development team talks about the Windows 10 version, another showcasing the improvements made to gunplay, one more with even more 4K gameplay, one showing riddle quests, one about shipwrecks, one focusing on storms and weather, the gameplay trailer presented at E3, and one more extensive batch of screenshots and artwork. Since you’re at it, don’t forgetr to read our recent hands-on preview.
Sea of Thieves will release in early 2018 for Xbox One, Xbox One X and PC.
