The "Sea of Thieves: Tall Tales" trailer was an epic undertaking. Creating a narrative in a shared world has never been done before and it was the final pillar that we wanted to achieve with Sea of Thieves. Giving players the opportunity to craft their own narratives while on this grand adventure was a unique challenge but capitalized on the rich lore our universe already has. Players will get to delve deeper and be more invested in the world and its characters than ever before.
REALTIME has been and continues to be a world-class partner. They all always go above and beyond and deliver trailers that exceed our expectations. We look forward to continuing to work with them and seeing what stories we can tell with Sea of Thieves.”
