Ngl, I hoped there was going to be more. I still expect them to release a video on more features coming in Season 1. We’ve had a couple of very smaller updates in the past few months, so I expected some interesting features like we had in the first year of SoT. With the volcanoes, the mist, megalodon or the rowboats.
They said it is going to be three months of new features, new events and stuff, so I think it is possible. For now, there are the new merchant voyages.
I think it’s still going to be quite a while before they can give us concrete details on that. It’s still unclear when this deal finalizes and even then we don’t know what their strategy is going to be. Honestly I hope they’ll just be upfront and crystal clear about it. They have such a big opportunity to let Xbox as a console, platform, service grow, they shouldn’t underestimate that. And who cares that these humongous Franchises used to be multiplatform, they aren’t anymore. Simple.
Sea of Thieves needed that i think, because it always lacked an incentive to play more. With seasons, you are rewarded for just sailing, so it will bring back some casuals…like me…
