As expected, after the usual server maintenance this morning Rare has released update Cursed Sails to Sea of Thieves , which introduces new threats, many contents and a story time between the seas of the game. For the occasion were released new details about the contents of the expansion, some of which are already known and some completely new (skeletons snipers!): here are all the info.

• Campaign Cursed Sails -the skeletons seized of the seas of Sea of Thieves held together by a mysterious captain, aboard their skeletal galleons and armed with cannon balls damn created to instill confusion among the crews of Pirates! Special banners placed on Outposts will report the presence of the skeletons, in an event that will last three weeks . In addition to fighting with skeletal crews will also follow a story that will reveal their origin , based on the information that we get from the bilge Rats. Also the introduction of alliances between crews and the new Brig will help the pirates more willing.
• New threat -skeletal ships carry with them a number of different cursed with cannonballs unpredictable effects that can change the fortunes of every battle.
• Brigantine -a new ship that arises between the impressive Galleon and the small Sloop, the Brig is perfect for the crews of three.
• Alliances -it is now possible to hoist the flag on the mast of our ship "offer Alliance", and commands "join the Alliance" and "leave the Alliance". It will thus be possible to form alliances with other crews, with whom to share loot and rewards. Unless someone decides to leave the Alliance at the last minute stealing all the loot, of course!
• Skeletal Snipers -a new type of skeleton arrived in the game: it grasps a musket and is able to strike with precision over long distances, either from the còffa of ships from the Islands themselves.
• Liveries Breaks Bones -only for the duration of the event, you can spend your Cursed Sails Doubloons in skeletal theme customizations for your ship.
• Sail world regions -clap your skeletal crews in various regions of the world to earn the sails dedicated to them.
• Scars and tattoos Breaks Bones -win all the battles to gain the set of scars and tattoos Breaks Bones, available for a limited time.
• Price drops -the merchants of the outposts are in awe of the skeletal crews, and decided to get rid of their goods as quickly as possible by applying deep discounts to all their articles!
• Activities -will be operating throughout the period during which the standard task to be completed are available 22 Cursed Sails and with which to unlock its honors (not all available in the same week though, because some will be introduced later) and will add two new legendary that will remain even after the end of the event.
• Titles of bilge Rats -available five new titles related to the campaign of Cursed Sails.
• Doubloons – complete all the standard activities of Cursed Sails will earn 200 Doubloons, while the legendary pirates will gain 100 others by completing the two reserved for them.
• Personalization -are now available at the outposts clothing and accessories by Hunter and Breaks Bones, plus customizations from pirate ship for the legendary pirates, available only at specific levels of the Fortune of Athena. 13 new colours are also available for our hair, selected directly into the basket of the vanities.
• Strong and Kraken -due to problems during testing of the update, the strong skeletal and the Kraken have been disabled in this update: will be reintroduced when the team will have fixed all the problems.

Microsoft has finally announced that the game has just passed the 5 million of players : it's only been 6 weeks since it was announced the achievement of 4 million. Congratulations to Rare for the great success of the title, due to the way the British team undoubtedly can't keep always interesting the game with constant updates!
