Sea of Thieves’ tides are a-turning once more, and next week’s Season 8 promises to be a bonanza for battle-hardened pirates, delivering an impressively exhaustive new “PvP on demand” system that, among other things, will see ships diving beneath the waves.
Core to Season 8 is a new faction system, enabling players to sign up to either the Pirate Lord’s Guardians of Fortune or Flameheart’s Servants of the Flame using the new Hourglass of Fate found on the Captain’s Table of every ship.
Once active, players can either represent their faction simply by taking on any opposing crews they spot in the world, or they can use the war map to immediately begin matchmaking to find an equally skilled opposing crew. It’s even possible to fight crews larger than your own if you’re feeling particularly confident in your PvP abilities.
