Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Sea of Thieves (XBO, Win 10) launches March 20

Hmm, considering how barebones the game was during the alpha, I'm surprised it's releasing in March.Guess it's gonna be one of those games that gets most of it's content after launch like Destiny

The alpha was just a small part of the game. They needed to test basic things before release.



Is this MS's attempt to combat the release of GOW? Personally, I'd release it in a month with little competition so it gets most of the press. It would also allow them to add more content.

I hope not. They better use Crackdown 3 or something for that. Sea Of Thieves is an ambitious, but unproven IP. GOW has too much anticipation going for it. Not to mention the brand power it has.

I wish I could say I'm excited for this, but it just doesn't look all that great to me. I'll keep an eye out for it though.

No. They are two different types of games on different platforms. It's just a release date.

Worked for the original Splatoon (and a bit for Splatoon 2, apparently) and Arms, assuming MS doesn't put a price tag on every new piece of content.

It's online only isnt it (i.e no single player content) and requires gold..... I hope it does well, but I cant see it. Especially releasing March, which is generally a busy Sony month, and isnt Farcry and God of War supposed to be releasing within a couple of weeks of it.

Perhaps as you say it'll do a destiny and grow its content over time, but i've heard a few people say that it feels a bit barebones.

No death in GOW will be more brutal than the death this would suffer if it releases at around the same time. 



There's only 2 races: White and 'Political Agenda'
2 Genders: Male and 'Political Agenda'
2 Hairstyles for female characters: Long and 'Political Agenda'
2 Sexualities: Straight and 'Political Agenda'

I hope they have a second project in the works, cause I can only think how much this game cost to make.... :|
