When Maintenance is Complete, Players Can Dive Into The Hungering

Sea of Thieves is down for maintenance, but when it comes back up, pirates will be able to dive into the game's first major content addition, The Hungering Deep. "From May 29th, follow the trail of riddles and rumors to piece together what happened to "Merry" Merrick, the proud owner of a pair of matching peg legs". 

Players will also find new features and fun things to do including the addition of drums, ship's flags, speaking trumpets for communication, and cosmetic items including tattoos and scars.

• The Hungering Deep adds these permanent new features to the ongoing Sea of Thieves experience.
• New Threat! Such a monstrous peril won't be easily vanquished. The risk of encountering it out at sea will live on.
• Drums! On the Sea of Thieves, it pays to bang your own drum. Pirate percussionists can let loose with this new instrument and play shanties with a bit more impact.
• Speaking Trumpets! All that drumming drowning out your orders? Use the new speaking trumpet to be heard at a distance and find other crews on the same voyage.
• Flags! Discover a new way to signal your intentions to other crews. Forge new friendships, or find new foes…
• Tattoos and Scars! The Hungering Deep expands the vanity chest: choose your tattoos and scars to tell your own pirate story.
