Sea of Thieves is Rare's grog-drinking, accordion-playing pirate silliness simulator

“What’s SprintyJohn doing?” I heard one of my teammates say over chat. Let me tell you what I—SprintyJohn, world-renowned pirate—was doing: I was standing on the prow of our ship, playing my accordion as we sailed headlong into battle. While others unfurled the sails and manned the cannons, I played accordion. As cannonballs flew over my head, I played the accordion. As my fellow pirates patched up holes in the ship, I played accordion.

And what was I playing? What song rang out across the waves? A wheezing version of “Ride of the Valkyries,” of course.

Sea of Thieves is amazing.

Drink up, me hearties

More than amazing. Sea of Thieves is one of the best games I played at E3 2016.
