Microsoft and Rare have given details on the upcoming Season 10 of their shanty-inspiring game, Sea of Thieves. If you have friends, you might be interested in guilds. If you’re like me and don’t have friends, then the private sessions are going to be more up your alley.
First off, Season 10 is going to introduce guilds into the game. These are organizations for up to 24 players. Within these guilds, players and crews team up to accomplish common goals. Their success will help boost the Guild Reputation, and doing so will unlock new cosmetics for everyone involved. Guilds can be customized with names, branding, and mottos so you can all unite under a single humiliating banner.
Season 10’s addition of private sessions is more geared toward the introvert. Whether you have a tight group of friends or would just rather play alone, the “Safer Seas” mode strips out the PvP involved with other players sailing around. Instead, you can focus on completing Tall Tales or doing some fishing without worrying about distant cannonballs.
However, if you hate people and want to get back at them for existing, then there’s also a competitive addition in Season 10. This comes in the form of a new world event where you attempt to find the Skull of Siren Song. The catch is that any crew that accepts the quest has the same map, leading them to the same spot. Moreover, if you get there first, you’ll only find half of the treasure, which immediately illuminates you with a beacon that everyone can see. So, whoever has that second half is going to be looking for you.
Sea of Thieves is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Season 10 starts on October 19th.
