Now I wonder. Was this Johnny Depp? Or a soundalike?
I personally thought this was the best trailer in the whole show. Sea of Thieves just keeps getting better and I need to get back into it.
It was the best one for me too ! And some were saying that the Disney collaboration would be disappointing

Watch the announcement trailer for Sea of Thieves: A Pirateâs Life right here:
Unfolding across five incredible tales packed with secrets and side-quests, this new campaign gives players a lovingly crafted story to play solo or with their crew. Sea of Thieves: A Pirateâs Life will be free for all players and will launch as the cornerstone of Sea of Thieves Season Three on June 22.
Two Legends Collide
Sea of Thieves: A Pirateâs Life is the gameâs most ambitious story-driven campaign to date. Players will go on a quest to free Jack Sparrow from his prison and witness the power of the worldâs greatest Pirate Treasure, which Jack just so happens to have stolen. Jack is being pursued by his old enemy, the notorious Davy Jones, and their arrival on the Sea of Thieves will ultimately spell disaster if Jones and his forces arenât stopped.
These iconic characters are here for much more than cameo appearances, and weâve worked alongside Walt Disney Games to craft a compelling original narrative that doesnât just bring two worlds together, but explores what makes each of them special.
Sea of Thievesâ Executive Producer Joe Neate explains: â Sea of Thieves aims to immerse players in a fantastical depiction of the pirate life, filled with colourful characters and vibrant locations to explore. The sense of fun, wonder and the imaginative spirit that we hold real affection for in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean always felt like it could be complementary to the world of Sea of Thieves , and weâve striven alongside the teams at Disney to celebrate this.â
Mike Chapman, Sea of Thievesâ Creative Director, was keen to ensure the narrative remained true to the spirit of both universes. âThe heart of our story explores what it truly means to be a pirate on the Sea of Thieves, and this has allowed us not only to tap into the deeper meaning of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies and the original attraction, but also allow players to go on adventures with Jack Sparrow, learning more about how he sees the pirate life and his place on the Sea of Thieves. This story moves the Sea of Thieves world forwards in unexpected ways, and itâs been a joy to bring these two worlds together, treating both in a way that feels authentic and delightful to experience.â
New Dangers Arise
Of course, new adventures bring new environments and challenges. As the story progresses, players will battle Davy Jones alongside Captain Jack Sparrow and have the chance to explore memorable locations from both universes â not only extending to Sea of Thieves and Disneyâs Pirates of the Caribbean film franchise but the famous park attractions that have been thrilling people for decades.
Players will also be facing grave danger from deadly new enemies wherever they sail. Terrifying Phantoms will require swift reflexes to deal with, while Sirens swarm beneath the waves and wield devastating new weapons of their own. Even the decks of ships might not be safe if there are lumbering Ocean Crawlers around, and these new threats will be appearing all around the Sea of Thieves in future updates, not just during playersâ adventures with Jack Sparrow!
Holy shit ! I canât take anymore ! Rare did a great job keeping all this a secret.
I said at the time that I didnât understand Grubbâs take. Pirates of the Carribean is just a âduhâ thing to add to the game and it genuinely looks great.
This trailer was fantastic!
This looks like tons of fun! I cant wait to play it with some of my friends
I absolutely need to get in there and play through this, sounds awesome!
I want everyone to acknowledge how fucking amazing this trailer was. Lol.
Such a nice surprise, will play the hell out of it next week.
Apparently it wasnât Johnny Depp who was voicing Sparrow. Wow, that soundalike did an amazing job. Fooled me. I wonder if thatâs Jared Butler.
I dont play sea of thieves and I thought this was the most entertaining trailer in the entire show and was huge surprise too.
I thought it would not be due to costs and time commitments but yes, you can hardly tell.
Will be a good reason to re-install Sea of Thieves. After the tall tales i did not participate in the game anymore, but im definitely going back to explore these stories.
Give me Robin Beanlandâs take on the Pirates of the Caribbean music now please.
Now.
On a hurdy gurdy.
