Sea of Thieves: The Sirens’ Prize pits pirates against deep sea sirens

Sea of ThievesOn Thursday, players will be able to embark on a second limited-time Adventure. The Adventures type of cinematic quest are only active for a short time. Players can take on big missions beyond the usual sailing stuff, such as storming forts in order to rescue our friends at Golden Sands Outpost or performing a ritual that summons the Shrouded Ghost.

Pirates will be fighting sirens in the newest Adventure. Sirens and their lairs were introduced in past updates, and we found out more about their relationship to mermaids, pirates, and the Sea of Thieves at large during Tall Tales and the Pirate’s Life quest chain that crossed over with the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Players can start the Adventure by speaking to Larissa outside any tavern at an Outpost; she’ll direct pirates to Belle, a long-time ally with a history in the Sea of the Damned. The quest leads us to Ancients. This mysterious group has been mentioned and hinted at several times throughout the story, but they have so far not been revealed.

Sea of Thieves’ time limited Adventures run alongside a seasonal model, where players can earn ranks in a Plunder Pass (or pay real world money for additional cosmetic rewards along the same track.) Recently, the Captaincy update was added to the game. This allows players name their ships and modify them across multiple sessions.

The Sirens’ Prize will run until Sept. 29; once the Adventure ends, the content will no longer be accessible.
