It’s taken over four years of concerted pleading, but Sea of Thieves players will finally be able to name their own ships from July, when the multiplayer pirate adventures very-long-awaited Captaincy Update arrives as part of Season Seven.
First discussed prior to Sea of Thieves’ launch, the Captaincy Update was originally set to be one of the game’s first post-launch updates, giving Pirate Legends the ability create their own legendary ship and forge a fearsome identity for themselves on the waves. They’d also start each session within the Legendary Hideout, blasting through its waterfall to make a grand entrance on the main map.
Unfortunately, following Sea of Thieves’ rocky launch, Rare announced it would be placing the Captaincy update “on the back burner” while it refocussed its development. Since then, the Captaincy update has become the stuff of legends itself, many assuming it was lost to time.
