Sea of Thieves is getting a free expansion for everyone who has a copy of the game. And it's not just simple expansion, it's a big one with a big name plastered on it. It's the Sea of Thieves A Pirate's Life expansion, featuring Captain Jack Sparrow of The Pirates of the Caribbean.

Sea of Thieves A Pirate's Life Release Date: June 22, 2021

Sea of Thieves has been going swimmingly nowadays with many thousands of players every day. But the high seas don't feel right without a lot of bodies in it, so it's natural for Rare to want more people to sail the high seas. Enter A Pirate's Life, a free expansion that everyone can enjoy. The expansion brings Captain Jack Sparrow to the game, featuring him in his own campaign story in the game. We save him from captivity in the trailer. The trailer also sets up the story campaign that we'll partake in, which teases the involvement of other Pirates of the Caribbean characters, such as Davy Jones and Joshamee Gibbs. We even get to see the legendary ship, The Flying Dutchman! We hope we can sail with this ship in the game.

The best part about this collaboration? The characters will be making more than just a cameo appearance in the expansion. For a narrative-driven piece of content, that's a great thing, since that means we'll get to see a lot of them in the collab campaign. More details about the free Sea of Thieves expansion pack will come at the Xbox Games Showcase Extended this Thursday.
