This week marks the very long-awaited arrival of Sea of Thieves’ captaincy update, and developer Rare has shared a detailed video breakdown of its new features – including ship owning, naming, and extended customisation – as part of its new Season 7 trailer.
Those who’ve been with Sea of Thieves for the long haul might recall that captaincy features were originally planned for the game’s very first post-release update, back in 2018.
All will be revealed this Thursday, 4th August, when Sea of Thieves’ Season 7 gets underway.
Once a ship has been acquired, players can officially call themselves captains, unlocking a bunch of new captain-exclusive features.
