Sea of Thieves gets new trailer, release date at The Game Awards 2017

Sea of Thieves, rare's multiplayer pirate adventure, finally has a release date.

Microsoft rocked up to The Game Awards 2017 to give us an update on Sea of Thieves, the long-awaited new game from beloved British developer, Rare.

The platform holder confirmed a release date for Sea of Thieves of March 20. That's for both Windows 10 PC and Xbox One, of course.

It also gave us a new trailer, which is nice - take a peek and get hype for Sea of Thieves below. It didn't get a lot of love during the show but I know there are some diehard Rare fans as well as Xbox owners really looking forward to this one.
