Season 8 is coming to Sea of Thieves and Rare posted a 9 minute video on his youtube channel in which you can see some of the new features that the new update will bring, the new locations that can be explored and the most outstanding cosmetic elements.
The main change, and one that might become the star of the season, is the possibility of enjoying PvP in which players can duel at sea in the bloodiest naval battles. In this case, players will represent one of two factions, the Keepers of Fortune or the Servants of the Flame. Choosing one or the other will give you exclusive access to cosmetic items embodying each faction’s style.

The choice is not eternal and can be changed by using an item inside the captain’s cabin on each ship. People who want to hunt down the other faction’s pirates can do so with the war map and there they will go on standby until a worthy opponent appears. During this space, players can take the opportunity to ready their ship and prepare it in the best way for combat.
This season also includes a new experience system that incorporates a kind of goals that can be achieved to obtain different types of cosmetic items. The update arrives this November 22 and will be absolutely free for all players. It is worth remembering once once more that Sea of Thieves is part of the Xbox Game Pass catalog on consoles and PC.
