It's the summer of thieves

For those of you who were planning to get away for the summer, but had your plans scuppered by our collective situation – don’t worry, there’s a whole other world for you to explore from the safety of your sofa! If you’re stuck on land with nowhere to go, the ‘Summer of Sea of Thieves’ event kicks off today, inviting you to dive in and take a challenge-driven tour of our beautiful ocean regions. From meeting the local pirate populace to attempting explosive aerobatics, this event serves up 10 challenge sets, each containing four goals, plus one more for Pirate Legends with some special tasks to tackle! You’ll have until the event ends on September 30 to pick and choose which of the wildly varied goals you want to complete, based on your play style and the rewards on offer. There are glittering piles of gold and Doubloons up for grabs, plus rare cosmetics and player Titles – including a highly prized ‘Legend of the Sun’ Title to be bagged by those heroes who fully commit to this event’s adventurous antics and risky requests.
