They are straight up doubling the weapons this year. Season 11 to 14 look to be some of the best seasons this game has ever had. Thank you Rare for finally updating the sandbox core.

[manamancy]

THIS is the kind of risk taking we need to see from the devs. Screw anyone complaining about a potential new meta, we need this!

[gabetasse]

I wonder if they’ve ever looked into adding whirlpools as environmental hazards. Would be so much fun to pull off a whirlpool getaway and see your pursuers get trapped by it.

[Cad-Bane-]

We are getting a Skeleton army and essentially a impossible to take burning War Ship and a Batman grapple gun, HELL YEA

[stragepinetree]

I have heard people asking for a world event like the burning blade for years, it's great to see it finally come!

[LordIstari]

This year's updates are EXACTLY what long-date players like I have been asking for a long time. Well done, Rare! You truly are listening to us, and that's one of the reasons your game is getting so much love!

[msterpunch]

A raid ship battle that you can take over. I suggested this in the forums years ago. This is the perfect way to add a bigger ship into the game. So excited for season 13!

One thing they could add is mango and banana trees so like when you come to an island you can search in barrels but also find trees that have these fruits holding maybe 3-5 fruits and once the trees are empty, it will be like a 2-3 minute cooldown to when you can pick new ones.

You should DEFINITELY be able to hit ziplines and harpoon ropes with your weapons to break them as people are using them. Harpoons would just reset after having their rope snapped, and the zipline would stay busted until it's out of anyone's render distance, self-repairing at the same interval as loot respawns.

Rare, this is great. All these features sound amazing, and I don’t know what I am most excited for. Happy Anniversary, and let’s hope this continues for years to come!!!

Sea of Thieves has truly become one of the BEST social gaming experiences I have had the pleasure of playing in recent memory. Very grateful of Rare and Xbox for not giving up on this IP

[sarnicholas]

I'm a 3000 hour player with nearly everything done that I wanted to do; triumphant sea dog, gold curse, ghost curse, skeleton curse, all that stuff.

I cannot stress enough how excited I am for the new sandbox tools. This is EXACTLY the kind of shakeup that SoT players like myself needed to breathe new life into the game. Bravo. BRAVO. Chef's kiss.

[ryliiiiiiii]

People need to remember, this is all in-development and it will likely undergo vigorous balancing
Edit, this is targeted at people saying ‘oH tHaT’s ReAlLy OvErPoWeReD’

[GiddyRob]

"You get these wonderful moments when a pirate can throw a knife at you!" Thanks Mike, sounds magical!

[mr.blobberry]

For future seasons like 15 and 16 I'd love new ship layouts/ ship designs and sea entities/ bosses like the megaladon and the kraken. It's nice to see rare finally try to expand apon the envirement insteed of just adding new grinds.

[GhostAdmiral]

Looks like contents back on the menu! Happy 6 Anniversary guys, can't wait for this year and beyond 🏴‍☠️

[LuckySOT]

THIS IS AMAZING! THE RUNNING ON HARPOON ROPES IS SICK!!!

[demoworldplayer]

Very nice! Exactly the kind of content update I've been wanting. Next things would be
- Net fishing
- More sea creatures
- More to do in the ocean itself
- Alchemy

[quinnlove]

Looks like sea of thieves is back on the menu boys!!! 😂😂🔥

[adamschmidt]

I'm absolutely in love with the bonecaller! Now, that we see that this kind of mechanic of having enemy PVE entities fight you on the ship is possible, how about adding the possiblity of ocean crawlers jumping onto your ship while sailing, similar to how we see it in Pirate's Life tall tale? That would be awesome!
