Since the announcement of The Hungering Deep , the first major update of Sea of Thieves that will introduce new content from 29 may, Rare was always very secretive about the update, explaining only that will introduce a new enemy-we now know be a megalodonts, and new gameplay mechanics of interaction for the players.

Today we learn more about thanks to an Update page of the published on the website of the game; Here we find that The Hungering Deep will see the arrival of a full-time campaign , an adventure in time (we don't know how, but we imagine at least a few weeks) during which we will see appear in the taverns of the outposts of new visitors: these are the bilge Rats , a group of adventurers who carry items and stories related to something new that is hidden beneath the waves, giving us clues and information to reach Islands "distant and forgotten" while collect the pieces of the mystery of the Bard Merrick (the same one seen in the announce trailer of update).

Those who manage to find it (but somebody saw already now to Shark Bait Cove) and put together the pieces of his story will finally embark on the hunt to its former nemesis, the gigantic shark megalodonts and, if they can in enterprise, will get a set of special customizations only obtainable during the event in time, so as to show everyone that they did it.

But The Hungering Deep will not just be a timed event: will also see the introduction of quests, items and customisations that will remain in the game world even after this exciting campaign. Specifically it is a drum , that we can use like other musical instruments to scan the rhythm of our songs, megaphone , useful to communicate remotely with other crews, arrival in case of Vanity the tattoos and scars to further customize our appearance, and a set of flags that we hoist our ship to communicate our intentions to the other crews. After all, nothing better than to attract a group of inexperienced Pirates with a white flag, before letting him swallow lead Buckshot! And it seems that even the game's seas megalodonts will remain once the campaign in time.

We leave you now with a set of images of the contents of the free expansion; good vision!
