Sea of Thieves launch trailer shows a pirate's life full of pigs, skeletons, sailing and booty

You will soon be able to live the life of a pirate in Sea of Thieves. Without the scurvy, stinky shipmates, and syphilis, obviously.

A launch trailer for Rare's Sea of Thieves has been released, and it gives you small glimpses of what you'll be doing in the game.

From what it shows, expect to be chased by skeletons, meet strangers in your various travels, and try to catch a pig.

Sea of Thieves will be ready to set sail next week on Windows PC and Xbox One come March 20.
