Seasons
The introduction of Seasons marks the start of a new approach to supporting Sea of Thieves regular updates. For more information on this exciting change to the game, head to the latest
Developer Update post.
Seasonal Progression
- At the heart of Seasons is a new system tracking player progress for actions across the Sea of Thieves. A growing range of actions will provide renown for the current Season, from visiting islands, vanquishing threats, resource gathering to completing Voyages – the list is vast.
- The introduction of Seasonal progression will provide players more freedom to enjoy the game their way and enjoy each session, no matter the outcome.
My Pirate Journey
- Within the Quick Menu a new ‘My Pirate Journey’ Tab now catalogues player progress. Player’s Company Reputation and Events progress has now moved to this new menu.
- Insiders currently have a test Season active, which will surface players renown earned as they perform actions in the world. This test Season is configured with 100 Levels, split across 10 Tiers of Distinction.
- Progressing through each level will unlock a range of rewards, from currency such as Gold, Doubloons and Ancient Coins to unique cosmetics.
- For players looking to progress faster through a Season, a range of Trials will become available tasking players to perform specific actions to earn greater renown and boost their progression.
- As we begin testing Seasons with Insiders a full player progression wipe has been conducted, providing the team with the most data possible for upcoming tests.
This Insiders build introduces a test Season to begin to track player’s progress. The amount of renown earned by performing actions, meeting renown requirements for each level as well as the rewards earned are purely for testing purposes and in no way final.
