00:00Choose your side and get ready to fight.
00:03It's time to put your skills to the test in the battle for the Sea of Thieves.
00:08Explore thrilling new locations.
00:11And earn some incredible cosmetics.
00:16So load the cannons and sharpen your cutlass as we explore the depths of Sea of Thieves Season 8.
00:30In Season 8, you'll be able to opt-in to on-demand PvP combat, duking it out in explosive ship
00:37battles that all take place in the shared world of adventure.
00:42You'll be fighting for one of two opposing factions.
00:45The Guardians of Fortune, who are loyal to the Pirate Lord and his allies.
00:51And the Servants of the Flame, who pledge themselves to Flameheart and the Reaper's Bones.
01:02Crews who join either faction can choose to represent them while either going about their normal pirate business.
01:09Or actively hunting and sinking ships of the opposing faction.
01:18And this all begins with the Hourglass of Fate.
01:22Found on the Captain's Table of each ship, you and your crew can use it to choose which faction you
01:28wish to fight for.
01:28They'll be warned.
01:30By voting to represent a faction, a crew is effectively marking themselves as ready and willing to engage in PvP
01:38combat.
01:39This means that you can be actively hunted by ships of the opposing faction.
01:44But if you want to go on the offensive and hunt opposing faction ships yourself,
01:49then look no further than the War Map on the Captain's Table.
01:52Use it to seek out a foe, and then dive below the waves.
02:06As you glide through the murky waters far below, you'll scour the seas for a worthy match.
02:15You can use this time to ensure you and your ship are ready for the battle ahead.
02:23And once an opponent has been found, you'll ascend from the depths,
02:31and burst out from below the waves.
02:37The opposing faction ship will be directly ahead of you.
02:41So ready the guns,
02:43and let battle commence.
02:51Both you and your foe will be placed within a designated battle area,
02:57which is visible on your ship's map.
03:00If you stray out of bounds,
03:02the hourglass of fate will start to become unstable,
03:06and you'll see a warning urging you to return to the fight.
03:10If you continue to leave the area,
03:13your hourglass will be destroyed,
03:15sinking your ship.
03:17And your opponent will be declared victorious.
03:21Winning battles by sinking opposing faction ships
03:24will reward you in several ways.
03:26Each successful battle will make your hourglass of fate more valuable,
03:30so the more ships you can sink,
03:32the more gold you receive when you vote to leave the battle at an outpost.
03:36You'll also earn allegiance.
03:39This represents the deeds you've done on behalf of either faction,
03:43similar to the experience you earn for the trading companies.
03:47If you're able to sink multiple foes in a row without being sunk yourself,
03:51you will start to build up an allegiance streak.
03:54As the streak gets larger,
03:57so too does the allegiance you'll earn from your victories.
04:00Reaching an allegiance streak of four
04:02will mark you as a faction champion,
04:04and your position will be displayed on the map table for all to see.
04:10Defeating a faction champion earns you slightly more allegiance,
04:15and a lot more hourglass value than would normally be awarded.
04:20So you can expect to find courageous crews heading your way
04:24to try their hand at sending you to the ferry.
04:32Faction champions can also choose to hunt crews larger than their own.
04:36So if you're an ambitious solo slipper ready to prove yourself,
04:41this is the perfect way to test your mettle against some more fearsome foes.
04:49though sinking ships isn't the only way to earn allegiance.
04:54When you bring treasure aboard a faction ship,
04:57you'll gradually increase your treasure grade.
04:59The more valuable the item you bring aboard is,
05:02the more your treasure grade will increase.
05:06And if you can successfully defend against and defeat rival faction ships
05:10while this treasure is on board,
05:13you'll earn even more allegiance for each ship sunk.
05:19When you leave the battle by voting at an outpost,
05:22your current treasure grade will increase the amount of allegiance you receive.
05:27You can even choose to sail as an emissary while also representing your faction,
05:32potentially netting even greater rewards.
05:36The higher your emissary grade,
05:38the more your hourglass of fate will be worth when you choose to leave your faction.
05:42However, choosing this style of play
05:44will make you an even more valuable target for ships from the opposing faction,
05:49so best be on your guard.
05:52With Season 8,
05:54we're also adding two new alignments for the captains of the Sea of Thieves.
05:59Complete the milestones to unlock new trinkets,
06:03crests,
06:03and other faction-themed cosmetics.
06:06And as you build up allegiance with one or both factions,
06:10you'll unlock some spectacular rewards for both sides.
06:14At Allegiance Level 100,
06:17you'll also gain access to special faction-only parts of the Athena's Fortune Tavern,
06:22or the Reaper's Lair.
06:26So long as you're also a pirate legend or level 75 Reaper, that is.
06:32These secret areas offer a number of exclusive rewards,
06:36some of which are literally life-changing.
06:39The Guardians of Fortune will grant you the Blessing of Athena's Fortune,
06:51allowing you to take on the look of the various apparitions found within the Sea of Thieves.
06:58And if you travel into the Reaper's Lair, far below the Reaper's Hideout,
07:03you can take part in a ritual to transform your soft, fleshy body into something altogether less alive.
07:12And prove, once and for all, that you were indeed big-boned.
07:18Explore the Reaper's Lair further, and you'll find new characters to interact with,
07:23including the Bonesmith,
07:25who'll allow you to customise your new style,
07:28with the various bits and bobs befitting a scornful skeletal crew.
07:33And of course,
07:35with a new season comes new rewards,
07:38with over 100 levels of incredible items to unlock.
07:42That includes some slick new clothing options.
07:46There's even new emissary rewards,
07:48so there's boatloads of shiny new goodies to strive for.
07:52And there's also a new Plunder Pass,
07:55available as an optional purchase,
07:57where you can unlock some macabre cosmetics crafted on a midnight dreary,
08:02with the Ravenwood chipset,
08:05and costume.
08:10Not only that,
08:11but by completing this season's Plunder Pass,
08:14you'll earn 1,000 Ancient Coins.
08:17And there's even more available in the Pirate Emporium,
08:20from a ship fit for a king,
08:24to a costume perfect for those who are hungry for battle.
08:28There's even trinkets to celebrate the games of Rares past.
08:33So pop on in and discover what sparkling surprises I install.
08:39So get ready to earn allegiance for factions of fate,
08:43uncover new rewards in never-before-seen locations,
08:47and engage in the dramatic PvP action of Sea of Thieves Season 8.
