The seas turn dangerous in Sea of Thieves when Cursed Sails arrives this month

Rare and Xbox have announced that Sea of Thieves is going to become damned on July 31st, Skeleton crews will set sail for the first time.

This permanent new content will be introduced into the game through a special time-limited campaign, Cursed Sails. Offering players a range of unique rewards, this three-week campaign will see skeleton ships terrorise outposts and challenge pirates to do battle on the seas. A story-driven side quest will also allow players to investigate the source of the skeleton scourge. For a taste of what’s to come, watch our new trailer above.

But it aint just new evils to be on the lookout for, players will also get a new ship to crew, with The Brigantine ship designed for crews of 3.
