Sea Of Thieves Season 17 Introduces Smugglers Faction And New Loot

Season 17 of Rare’s online pirate title Sea of Thieves was announced at the Xbox Games Showcase, and it’ll add a mischievous new faction to the game’s sandbox called The Smuggler’s League. The upcoming season, titled Smugglers’ Tide, begins in August and includes new Voyages and some of the most powerful explosives in the game.

Judging from the trailer, The Smuggler’s League is all about, well, smuggling loot, salvaging treasure and other goodies from sunken ships or stealing them from other players. Some of the new loot showcased in the trailer includes crates filled with golden bottles and black gunpowder barrels, which will most certainly explode if mishandled, but players can weaponize their explosive capabilities.

Watch the trailer below.

The trailer showcases characters using harpoon guns to snag loot and employing stealth tactics to make off with explosive barrels. While the trailer doesn’t go into detail about faction-specific rewards, expect to earn several exclusive cosmetics for completing Smuggler’s Voyages and commendations.

The current season of the one-of-a-kind Sea of Thieves, titled Reapers Rule, began on May 22, adding new content for The Reaper’s Bones faction. The season also added a new Voyage, the ability to summon NPC skeletons to assist your crew, and a portable cannon called the Cannon of Rage.

Rare is also developing a title called Everwild, but the game was a no-show at this year’s Xbox Games Showcase.
