Sea of Thieves will get a PvP Arena, pets, and story quests in one “mega update”

Sea of Thieves has a big 2019 ahead, according to executive producer Joe Neate, and that includes what Rare is calling a “mega-update.” That will include some of the major overhauls and new features that the developer has been discussing over the past few months, including the Arena, a pet system, and a new set of more story-driven quests - all long-awaited additions for one of the best PC games of 2018. We’ll learn exactly what all that means on March 20, the game’s one-year anniversary. That’ll be when we get a proper reveal and announcement for this mega-update, but we’ve got no confirmation on exactly when to expect it. That might come as a disappointment for some - the major updates have been coming pretty regularly, and this is looking like a big gap between releases. But the scale of this update might just make up for it. On today’s Inside Xbox stream, Neate says 2019 will be a bigger year than the last for Sea of Thieves, and while you’d certainly expect that from a proud producer, we do know that there’ve been plenty of big updates in the works.
