Sea Of Thieves' spectral fleets land on Haunted Shores next weekGhastly galleons galore

Ghastly galleons galore

It may be the middle of June, butSea Of Thievesis preparing to get unseasonably spooky. Next week’s update for the high-seas pirate sandbox is Haunted Shores, a ghastly update that’ll set the Flying Dutchman’s spectral fleets loose upon the open ocean. Horrifying stuff, perhaps - but with eight new sea shanties, at least you can face the terrors of the depths with a song in your heart.

Before we get the ghost, though, developers Rare expressed their ongoing support for Black Lives Matter. The devs are looking for ways to improve their efforts going forwards, reiterating their “zero-tolerance” stance on discrimination and explaining how to effectively report it in-game. In Rare producer Joe Neate’s words, “there’s no place on the seas for people who discriminate”.

Alright then, onto the ghost pirates.

Dastardly galleons from beyond the grave aren’t the only additions in Haunted Shores, mind. Sea Of Thieves will soon let you choose with shanty you’d like to play, making spontaneous ocean concerts easier to pull off than ever. In service of that, next week’s update also adds eight new toe-tapping ditties.

These new jams, along with Haunted Shores' ghastly fleets, drop anchor when the update arrives next Wednesday, June 17th.
