It seems that Rare is getting ready to leave Sea of Thieves to some extent, possibly to focus more on the development of Everwild, which was announced in 2019. Fortunately, this does not necessarily mean that we will get less content for the pirate simulator in the future .
The developer has now confirmed that it has partnered with Liverpool-based studio Lucid Games (Destruction Allstars) to develop the title, with the latter tweeting:
“We’re excited to announce that we are working with @RareLtd on @SeaOfThieves! It’s been incredible supporting them on their thrilling pirate adventure & we can’t wait to see where this legendary voyage will take us!”
Exactly how many people from Rare will still be involved in Sea of Thieves is currently unknown, but an educated guess is that it will mostly be on a consulting basis, as it sounds unlikely that they would present a collaboration with a new studio on that was only about a handful of people. Hopefully we’ll get more information on this pretty soon.
