Sea of Thieves is adding solo-friendly raids and ending dedicated PvP

Sea of Thieves is in for another action-packed year, with all new seasonal adventures lined up for the open-world pirate game. Two of the most significant changes on their way in the upcoming season are new solo-friendly raid dungeons, and the retirement of Sea of Thieves’ dedicated PvP mode, Arena.

When Season Six begins in March, Sea of Thieves players will be able to explore six all-new Sea Forts. These dungeons have been pulled through from the Sea of the Damned, and are patrolled by phantoms who guard the treasures hidden within them. You’ll have to hunt down each Sea Fort’s set of keys in order to take on the toughest defenders, and doing so will grant access to the treasury.

One thing that sets these Sea Forts apart from the coastal variety is the fact that their difficulty will scale with the size of your group. You can take them on as a full crew, or if you’re playing solo – either way, Sea Forts should offer just enough pushback to make for a fun encounter.
