Sea of Thieves was controversial at release for its unusual reward structure. But maybe developer Rare is smarter than everyone else.
Sea of Thieves was always designed to deliver the ultimate pirate fantasy, whether that be exploring deserted islands for treasure, swashbuckling with other pirates for loot or just sailing the seas in your own galleon. The new Mysteries feature aims to bring live storytelling to the game in a way that, as the developers put it, "have never really seen before."
