Today Sea of Thieves received regular weekly update, which did not introduce big news but included some interesting things: the first is the figurehead of Banjo-Kazooie created for the 20th anniversary of the series, on sale at the appropriate price outposts shopkeepers 1998 gold coins, recalling the year of release of the first game. Another interesting news is that now when cannon balls hitting our boat, the will shake making her sway. You can read the other news in the official patch notes .

Great news is also the fact that Rare has finally started to ban abusive players , and PC use various systems to cheat in the game: you started with identifying those who undoubtedly are cheater, and we will proceed as to identify and punish all those who use similar techniques.

Other than that, the guys at Rare have made interesting revelations about the future of the game in interviews granted during E3. The most interesting of these is the fact that after the already planned expansions Cursed summer Sails (wait this month) and Forsaken Shores (scheduled for November), there will be three other major expansions by the end of the year . This brings to five the number of expansions that lie ahead before the end of the year, and also means that from September to December the game will receive an expansion per month. Not bad!

This is possible thanks to the internal structure that you are given the study, with as many as four team to work on additional content: for example, the team responsible for The Hungering Deep rose immediately after the launch of the expansion, development the first expansion that will arrive after Forsaken Shores , and the same will happen with other teams as they release their contents.

We discover that the next week will arrive the event The Sunken Curse , which will have to deal with diving under water, while one final piece of information we get about Cursed Sails , the expansion that will arrive later this month by introducing fearsome ghost ships led by the IA and the new Brig for 3 players. It had already been revealed that the crews would bring in ghost world by Sea of Thieves the cursed cannonballs , capable of creating the oddest effects-and sometimes hilarious-the crews affected. These cannon balls will be used against us by ghost Galleons, but ourselves we will be able to retrieve them in the game world and use them against the ghosts that other players. Rare has now made some examples of these cannon balls: there is one capable of weighing down the stricken ships, which will embark more water from any flaws not tapped, then there is one that locks the rudder, the one that brings the silence on Galleon preventing voice communication between players or one which prohibits to lower the sails. In short, there will be more tactical options in the fighting, and owning these balls may be crucial to winning a fight.

That's all for now: Please refer to next week for the arrival of Cursed Sails and further news on Sea of Thieves !
