Sea of Thieves Anniversary Update introduces competitive PvP, fishing, and harpoons

Today marks one year since Sea of Thieves first set sail, and to celebrate Rare announced its Anniversary Update, set for an April 30 release date. The update will bring a new competitive mode, story adventures, a new Trading Company, and various world improvements. For those embracing the PvP aspect of the pirate life, the update’s competitive mode - named The Arena - lets players dive straight into the action in a “purely competitive setting”, according to the Sea of Thieves website. No more of that tedious cooperative hurdy gurdying (we're joking, we love that, too). The second major addition is Tall Tales. These are collections of “story-rich quests” that promise undiscovered areas and “surprising” gameplay features. The first of these collections is called Shores of Gold. The long-awaited ability to fish and cook will also be added in update.
