TRESURE HUNTS
Treasure hunts will be a major part of the Sea of Thieves gameplay loop, and what we know about them sounds really interesting so far. Players will have to acquire maps that will reveal the location of these treasures- sounds pretty regular, right? Well, what’s interesting is that rather than adding markers to your in-game mini map, you’ll have to physically look at these maps in the game and compare them to your surroundings, and then navigate with respect to landmarks. The treasure itself will also physically exist in the world, so after finding it, you will have to actually carry it back to your ship, while also making sure that it doesn’t get snatched away by rival pirates or that you don’t get killed by other enemies while you’re doing so.
