During a podcast made by Rare, the development team at Sea of Thieves has answered some questions revealing interesting information on their new title pirate. First of all, with regard to the beta of the game, it was alleged that could come sooner than expected and so there is a good chance to see the beta of the game much earlier than usual.

Also the guys at Rare explained that the game was created in the first person to create a strong involvement of the player, but it is possible that it can be introduced in a limited way, the use of the third person. One of the game's core is the customization of your pirate, and the players will want to sometimes "admiring herself", then it is possible that during specific actions the Visual will be moved to the third person by showing the entire model of your character.

Finally the developers have confirmed that, although it is thought to encourage collaboration with other users, the game will play solo, sailing with a small ship that does not need a full crew. This will allow us to complete quests and explore game world, but because of the small size of the ship won't be able to transport large quantities of loot that will be stored in larger galleons.

Sea of Thieves is expected to exit in 2017; stay tuned for more information coming probably in the course of August 17 to 20, from Gamescom!
