Raid the Fort of the Damned in October’s Free Sea of Thieves Content Update
Halloween gets bigger in this country every year and while we don't have the years of tradition that go with it, we definitely get the fun.
Personally I look at Halloween as an excuse to re-watch horror movies, scare the wife and kids and of course cower in fear as I play some horror survival game badly.
The along comes Sea of Thieves with the Fort of the Damned update, hold on, is that a damn goose in that image??? Oh well back to it.
Check out the official release from Xbox and Joe Neate of Rare below to add a little bit of spook to your voyages and remember to hit me up if you want another to sail the deadly seas!
Snoogs
Get ready for Halloween with the free October content update for Sea of Thieves! Now live for all Sea of Thieves
players with Xbox Game Pass, on Xbox One and on Windows 10 PC, Fort of the Damned encourages you to seek out a
fearsome fortress and take on our most exciting Skeleton Fort challenge yet to
earn huge rewards, including a guaranteed Chest of Legends.
Things Get Spooky on the Seas with the Fort of the
Damned
Dark forces have seized Old Boot Fort, using
ancient magic to bring forth an evil that transforms it into the Fort of the
Damned, overrun with sinister Shadow of Fate Skeletons.
Pirates must undertake Voyages to find Ritual
Skulls, claim the Flames of Fate then band together to take down the Fort.
Sloops, Brigantines and Galleons: it’s time for ships to raise their Alliance
flags, work together and answer the call!
Fort of the Damned is the biggest update to Sea of
Thieves’ popular Skeleton Fort feature
since launch, offering players action-packed new challenges and massive
rewards. The new Fort can be activated on demand as long as the in-game
requirements are met, allowing players to take on this new challenge as often
as they want. It’s a permanent new addition to the game that will remain
available beyond October’s free content update.
Skeleton Pets in the Pirate Emporium
The Pirate Emporium is stocking new items for the
spooky season including some supernatural additions to the pet range: The
Skeleton Cockatoo and Skeleton Marmoset. But hurry, skeleton pets will only be
available for the duration of the Fort of the Damned update and will return to
the mists once the November update is released. Grab them before they go!
While you’re at the Pirate Emporium, you’ll also
find the Cutthroat Ship Collection inspired by Killer Instinct, Rare’s legendary fighting game,
together with a new collection of emotes including the indispensable Taunt
Emote bundle.
Two’s Company in The Arena
Galleons no longer have the run of The Arena:
pirates now have the opportunity to compete as part of a two-person Sloop crew.
So, grab a friend and set a course for The Arena to take on other duo crews and
determine who’s best!
That’s not the only Arena update this month, as six
new contest locations have been added. Each location has two variations, and
feature chests on Outposts for players to find and safely transport to ever
more challenging Sea Dog delivery locations.
New Ways to Play Shanties
You asked, we listened: a new instrument is now
yours for the playing as banjos make their way into Sea of Thieves! Open the second page of your item
radial to find the banjo and pluck along to all your favourite shanties.
Equipment Stores at Outposts now stock a range of fancy-looking banjos for you
to grab in exchange for gold.
Plus, a Whole Lot More
That’s not all, as the Fort of the Damned update brings a host of other
new features and content to Sea of Thieves including:
- Cosmetics
galore, such as the new Ferryman of the Damned set of rewards and new
stock in Duke’s Black Market, including clothing from the Wild Rose,
Wailing Barnacle and Redcoat Executive Admiral sets, Deep Ocean Crawler
equipment and Fearless Bone Crusher weapons.
- More
emergent loot including Skeleton Captains on islands (who drop a
Villainous Skull and a Skeleton’s Orders map), washed-up Rag and Bone
Crates and increased Doubloon rewards for Reaper’s Chests.
- New
Commendations and brand-new Xbox Achievements.
