From Legends Week to Monkey Island: The eventful September in 'Sea of Thieves'
September was full of action in "Sea of Thieves". The month began with the return of Legends Week, which offered improved rewards and goodies to celebrate our pirate legends. Without a break, the second event of the month followed, the "Wish You Were Here" week, which presented a series of travel-centric challenges with additional unique items to earn.
Towards the end of the month, the third and final part of "Sea of Thieves: The Legend of Monkey Island" was released. This part, titled "The Lair of LeChuck," concluded the trilogy with an expedition to Monkey Island and a showdown with the ghost pirate captain himself. All three of these Tall Tales are now playable and will remain so for the foreseeable future.
Community Weekend, Pirate Consultation Day, and More: The Highlights of September
To close out the month, the developers decided to celebrate the best weeks of the ninth season with another Community Weekend. One highlight this time was the Pop-Up Plunder, where rare treasures in the game were unlocked for all crews on a server.
Prior to the ninth season's Community Weekend, the developers wanted to make sure all their fearless players knew what to expect. In addition to the Pop-Up Plunder, there have been changes since the last Community Weekend, including the switch of the main channel from Twitter to Twitch!
The Pirate Consultation Day also received its deserved attention with a special Pirate Emporium sale and limited-time Pretty Polly Sails.
The Conclusion of the 'Legend of Monkey Island' Trilogy and Other News
In September, the video team appropriately marked the conclusion of the trilogy with the launch trailer for "The Lair of LeChuck," showcasing the final set of thematic cosmetics. But that wasn't the only "Legend of Monkey Island" content served up last month for fans of Guybrush and his friends, as Parts 2 and 3 of our Deep Dive video series revealed many background information and secrets.
The latest "Sea of Thieves" news video also joined in spreading exclusive information, as attention slowly shifted towards the future and the changes that the tenth season could bring.
Community and Creativity: The #SoTShot Rounds in September
The two #SoTShot rounds in September were filled with creative submissions: After enjoying pictures of perfect pets for the "Animal Appreciation" theme, we took a short swimming trip to explore an abundance of "Sunken Riches."
Someone made the mistake of leaving the team alone with 100 barrels - with predictable results - while others developed a rather peculiar fixation on color when looking ahead to the tenth season.
Until Next Time!
That's it! Everything covered for September. We'll be back in a month to recap the events of October.
