A free content update is coming next week to the silly online swashbuckling gameSea Of Thieves. As a precursor, Rare have released a developer update video explaining one community-focused addition. The Legends Of The Sea update will give more prominence to easter eggs already present in the game to immortalize certain players.In the first part of the developer update below, executive producer Joe Neate explains just a bit about the new quests Rare will be sending players on. Rare have previously added easter eggs to Sea Of Thieves referencing the exploits of well-known players. In the past, these homages have just been neat things for other pirates to stumble upon: paintings, carvings in wood, and other environmental oddities.Now, Rare will be adding an NPC to the game named Umbra who will send you off to look for these special additions. For finding them, you’ll earn new commendations and tattoos that you can add to your pirate referencing these same players and events.To see this content please enable targeting cookies.Manage cookie settingsRare docommunity spotlight postson their site relatively often so Neate says this is their way of making legendary players “a more formal part of the game.“There’s a list on the Sea Of Thieves wiki ofknown easter eggsreferencing players and—wait, what?
