Rare Ltd.

40 years of @RareLtd. From devoted Rare gamers to single-series stalwarts, we want to show our appreciation for anyone who's visited even just one of our worlds. For keeping an assorted ragtag of creatives working magic in the Midlands, only two words will do: THANK YOU 💙💛

The good ship May already has the wind firmly in its sails, but we didn't forget about your regular This Month in Sea of Thieves article. From Last Ship Standing to Twitch Drops, you can find all of the important dates for your calendar here: seaofthieves.com/news/this-mont…

We're seeing red. No, it's not the bloodlust setting in, it's just some #FanArtFriday highlights that share a big splash of the shade. From Twitter, the realistic Viva Piñata Sour Mallowolf is by @GhosteBoergre while the @SeaOfThieves Madame Olivia piece is from @Similyjay.

Last Ship Standing is almost here. Season 19: Act 3 will introduce this recurring Event that sees up to six Sloop crews collide in an all-out brawl! With generous Allegiance rewards and some stunning cosmetics up for grabs, it's the perfect time to test your combat prowess...

A selection of Sea of Thieves Partners and Affiliate Alliance members have arrived at @RareLtd today to spend two days putting Custom Seas through their paces, coming up with gametypes and delivering feedback directly to the team! Hopefully it's not just back-to-back TDM...

@GhosteBoergre Quite the interpretation! Would you be happy with us featuring it in a fan art post in the future?

Sour Mallowolf from Viva Pinata!! was meant to be a doodle page but I might continue that another time :D (the background made me tweak out and i couldn't decide on a final :,] ) #digitalart #vivapinata #sourmallowolf

@Similyjay @SeaOfThieves A fine rendition! Would you be happy for us to feature this in a fan art post?

We're about to saunter off for a three-day weekend, but not before blessing your optic nerves with these #FanArtFriday beauts! From Instagram, the Viva Piñata Pretztail is the work of blackzodiacqx while the @SeaOfThieves duo is the work of both ghastly.demon and megaboatman.

Spotted as we drove onto the @RareLtd grounds this morning: strolling geese. Baby geese! POTENTIALLY WARRING FAMILIES OF GEESE! Well, hopefully not, but we've seen less aggressive glares in a boxing ring. Plenty of grass to go around now, no need to get feisty...

Good day fine Internet-scrolling person, please indulge us for a fine #FanArtFriday Twitter duo! Or don't, we're not your legal guardian. We will glare at you as you leave, mind. The Banjo-Kazooie piece is by @Mar_Mar_Up and the cursed @SeaOfThieves pirate comes from @KyarytaArt!

Congratulations to the @DoubleFine team on the release of Kiln today. We're fired up to take some piratical pottery out, like our little tankard friend here, to get smashed! Because he's a tankard, you see? Normally full of grog? Never mind, see you on The Wedge!

@Mar_Mar_Up Oh these are exquisite! Would you be happy for us to feature one in a fan art post?

Banjo kazooie stuff, because.. damn it.. I still care #banjokazooie #art #fanart

Banjo-Kazooie (Rare - 1998 - N64)

@KyarytaArt Hopefully nobody fires the cannon while she's sat there! Would you be happy with us sharing this in a fan art post?

Spread the word across the sea, there’s a queen with no rival, you’ll see. If you hear her laugh as she fires away, you’d better start praying, no time to delay! #SeaofThieves #Pirate #SoT

A tiger and a trio walk into a #FanArtFriday, which is an impressive feat for two pieces of art from Tumblr and a hashtag, but we needed some sort of intro didn't we? The Viva Piñata Tigermisu comes from millies-theme, while the @SeaOfThieves pirate crew is by snypi. GOOD STUFF!

Our first ever Bilge Rats Weekender is live! Until April 20th (10am UTC), set out to tackle quirky Challenges, scrap over smuggling routes or reel in some fish, all in the pursuit of Doubloons to spend on various wares! Or just enjoy the fireworks, up to you.

Calling all pirates: we're hosting another test of our upcoming six-Sloop Last Ship Standing mode in the Insider build this Friday, April 17th! Join us from 3pm-10pm UTC to put the mode and its bespoke map through their paces! Not an Insider? Join here: seaofthieves.com/insider

Overheard at Rare: "I'd love to be a landlord. Let me in, I'm going to paint over your sockets!"

#FanArtFriday's here again bringing the colours, you just need to bring the exuberant praise! Preferably over on Instagram, where these came from. Go and big up the Battletoads piece on jcpxdesigns's page and angle Sea of Thieves sweetness towards maria_ronold_artwork. Thanks!

From refreshed editions of the game to a brand new Live Event, let’s find out what you can expect from the next few weeks in Sea of Thieves with the latest, appropriately named This Month in Sea of Thieves article: seaofthieves.com/news/this-mont…
