Originally launching on Nintendo 64 in 1998, June 29 will mark the 20th anniversary of the hugely popular 3D platforming game.

The final clue, the one bit of info that makes all of Sea of Thieves ' cave paintings and Easter eggs seem like something more, is a piece of concept art Rare showed a while back during a comic convention. It's for a figurehead, as-yet-unreleased in Sea of Thieves , featuring none other than a large bear holding a shield adorned with a red b

Whereas Beddall himself was hoping for more by way of „ dungeons and raids ,“ instead he shares the genuine concerns of players over the lack of variety found in the full release of the game.
