Sea of Thieves’ next update brings more faction focus – Polygon
Sea of Thieves’ current faction serves as the game’s backbone, as it provides access to quests, rewards, and cosmetics. The upcoming Ships of Fortune seeks to reinforce these mechanics. Players will be able to become “Emissaries” for the main factions after a considerable donation, granting access to potentially massive rewards and new ship cosmetics. A new faction, called The Reaper’s Bones, will hunt down Emissaries leading to more PvE combat.

Each class is getting old abilities brought back or having more abilities spread across all specializations, which will help with utility and survivability in both group and solo content. Most of these changes are small, but some classes are getting sizable tweaks, and these changes will return some of the fans’ favorite aspects of the game.
