Pirate Legends yearning for some adventure to genuinely test their nautical prowess will at last get their would like from 21st April, when Sea of Intruders launches Legend of the Veil – a model-new, story driven quest designed completely for the piratical product of the crop.

Scarce at first teased Legend of the Veil throughout its Sea of Thieves’ 2022 roadmap reveal back in January, and with a launch day for the journey now verified, the developer has shared more on what players can assume to see appear its arrival.

Whilst Sea of Thieves’ existing Pirate-Legend-concentrated Athena Voyages are little more than a clutch of Trading Business duties strung alongside one another into one prolonged quest, Legend of the Veil is aiming to be alternatively much more formidable, blending the cinematic presentation of preceding Tall Tales adventures – entire with lower-scenes, audio, and voice function – with the randomness and replayability of typical voyages.

To that conclusion, Legend of the Veil will consider Pirate Legends and their crews on a three chapter quest to support the Pirate Lord, who’ll look on-ship when the quest commences, in accumulating unique stones to put in the Veil Mask 1st found in last month’s Shrouded Islands story episode. The voyage will generally conclude with the very same epic showdown but, apparently, the 1st two chapters will be randomised on every new enjoy-via, drawing from a variety of different worries, each with their personal permutations.

These initially two chapters goal to strike a stability among puzzling and fight, and Unusual has shared some of the probable routines Pirate Legends may possibly be requested to embark on in its new Deep Dive video clip. They could, for instance, discover them selves discovering a huge underwater shipwreck graveyard, dodging sharks, navigating multiple vessels’ labyrinthine innards, and hunting out peculiar mechanisms and mystery compartments in order to uncover the important to the captain’s cabin and track down a Veil Stone.

There are also twists on Sea of Thieves’ familiar treasure maps, made to examination Pirate Legends’ familiarity with the environment. Some maps might only reveal a compact, zoomed-in spot of an island, for instance, although pictorial maps will involve gamers to track down islands and their treasure based on their know-how of community landmarks. There are also maps the place gamers ought to determine out what is amiss in get to track down their spoils.

Other opportunity quests get location on haunted islands, supplying a spooky makeover for some of Sea of Thieves’ most attractive locales. Right here, gamers will fulfill Belle and assist her quest by using a lantern to track down and light-weight ghostly statues – whereupon they’re going to need to have to struggle phantoms and their fearsome Soulflame Captain. Support is at hand, on the other hand, as Sea of Thieves’ very long-referenced but under no circumstances-in advance of-seen Ancients will lend support in struggle.

When the randomised assemblage of Chapters 1 and 2 are comprehensive, Pirate Legends will have to have to embark on just one closing epic face, chasing a whirling tornado across storm-ravaged seas – all even though fending off ghost ships and launching a cannonball assault on fortresses dotted about the ocean, like just one last mega-fortress to provide proceedings to a near.

It truly is an intriguing sufficient proposition as-is, but, as an added incentive to get stuck into Legend of the Veil, Uncommon is boosting the Athena degree cap up from 20 to 30, and introducing a selection of new Ancients-themed cosmetics – a new ship established, weapons, and outfits – to unlock alongside the way.

Legend of the Veil will come to Sea of Intruders on 21st April, but prior to then, Uncommon is keeping a exclusive weekend of celebrations to mark the not long ago declared milestone of over 1m gamers owning arrived at Pirate Legend standing.
