Lidt ud af det blå annoncerede Microsoft til E3, at Rares Sea of Thieves får en stor opdatering baseret på Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life hedder udvidelsen, og den bringer Jack Sparrow og hans matroser på the Black Pearl til en masse spændende, nye lokationer.
Efter præsentationen fik vi en snak med spillets producer Joe Neate, og han fortalte, at der var tale om et oplagt match.
"We met them [Disney] two years ago at E3 2019, and they reached out to us actually," fortalte Neate. "They were like, 'if we wanted to make a Pirates of the Caribbean game, then we'd spend five years making one and we'd basically make the game you made.' And they were huge fans of Sea of Thieves, they spoke very eloquently about it and in the same spirit about what we love about it as a game."
Neate fortalte også, at Pirates of the Caribbean på sin vis allerede er en del af spillet:
"Pirates of the Caribbean was in our original pitch [of Sea of Thieves]. It was Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with Wind Waker crossed with the Goonies. It's always kind of been there, and it's always felt like it's meant to be."
Du kan spille Sea of Thieves: A Pirate's Life fra på tirsdag, d. 22. juni, hvor den gratis opdatering bliver tilgængelig på Xbox og PC.
