It needs a little more time.
Sea of Thieves Season 7 has been delayed into August 2022, Rare has today announced.
“With such a fundamental update to the game, there is a lot of hidden work to be done in the background. This is an update that brings in a vast range of new stats to track, and has required a complex partnership across our Game, UI and Services teams to bring it to life,” Rare’s Joe Neate said in a new update.
“As we started getting closer to the originally stated release date, it became apparent that things were coming in hotter than we liked and there was a real risk of not delivering to the quality and polish we expect, as well as putting undue pressure across the team to get it all over the line. Subsequently, we have made the decision to shift the release date back slightly to August 4th.”
The content — which will allow players to name their own ships alongside other new features — was originally expected on 21 July.
Sea of Thieves is available now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and Xbox Cloud Gaming. Expect Season 7 from 4 August.
