Exciting Content Update Coming to Sea of Thieves!

Get ready for some action-packed adventures on the Sea of Thieves! Captain Flameheart is back in all his fiery glory, ready to shake things up in Rare’s multiplayer pirate game. Season 13 is kicking off next Thursday, 25th July, and players can look forward to some thrilling challenges as they face off against the formidable fire-belching warship, The Burning Blade.

The Burning Blade is no ordinary ship – it boasts ten cannons, the ability to launch Ashen Roar balls of fire, and a crew of obsidian skeletons. Players will have the chance to take on this powerful vessel in battle and decide whether to sink it or join forces with Captain Flameheart by becoming its temporary crew.

Those who pledge allegiance to Flameheart will receive assistance from the obsidian skeleton crew of The Burning Blade. While navigating the seas, they can discover Skeleton Camps scattered around the world. These camps offer challenges and puzzles that lead to valuable secrets and rewards.

Players in command of The Burning Blade are tasked with completing rituals in underground temples, uncovering ancient secrets, and increasing the value of their ship. However, they must remain vigilant as other players may try to seize control of the warship.

Additionally, by defeating The Burning Blade and obtaining the Blade of Souls, players can earn powerful rewards.
