Rare has confirmed that season seven of Sea of Thieves is seeing a delay, but to make up for it season six is getting extended.
Rare announced the delay in a blog post on the official Sea of Thieves website, where it went into the reasoning behind the decision.
Season seven of Sea of Thieves was shown off last month as part of Xbox and Bethesda’s showcase, an update that has been planned since before the game launched.
Subsequently, we have made the decision to shift the release date back slightly to August 4th.”
