Xbox and Rare have announced that the next Sea of Thieves content update is here and with Dark Relics, this marks the beginning of a new release schedule, the second Wednesday of each month, a new pack will release, giving players ample time to chart their voyage.

Dark times have arrived on the Sea of Thieves, as skeletons have stolen several dangerous artefacts from The Order of Souls – the aptly named Dark Relics!

Find Duke in the tavern to take on a Dark Relic Voyage, which will involve smashing a certain crew of skellies, taking back their Relic and delivering it to the Order for a handsome reward. There are Voyages up for grabs in The Shores of Plenty, The Ancient Isles and The Wilds, along with Titles and Commendations to earn. Earning Commendations will unlock more items from the highly sought-after Mercenary ship livery set – the cannons, capstan and wheel!
