Get ready for a whole lot of sailing puns: Sea of Thieves developer Rare will be streaming a 2022 preview event for its popular pirate game this week. New characters, locations, and features are all on the table for potential announcements.

Rare teased the event on Twitter, with a brief video promising “a boatload of new, exciting surprises” for “the biggest year yet” for Sea of Thieves. Despite the short length, there are still a few intriguing shots in the teaser that have fans talking. There’s a pirate who’s specifically only shown in shadow, with their back to the camera — perhaps an important new story character. There’s also a new fortress island with several neat little details, like new plants and an unknown faction symbol.
