Treasure your Sea of Thieves adventures forever with custom Pirate Shanty
To
celebrate the release of the hotly anticipated, shared-world pirate adventure
“Sea of Thieves” on Tuesday, March 20th, exclusively on Xbox One and
Windows 10, Xbox ANZ has worked with Australian pirate band Captain Hellfire
& The Wretched Brethren to create the world’s first ‘Sing us a Shanty’
service.
As
part of the service, everyday Australians and New Zealand fans will be able to
get their very own pirate shanties while they play online via Xbox Live with
the band. The shanties will be broadcast live via Mixer, Facebook and Twitch
during the weekend after launch for others to join in with the adventure.
Taking
place on March 24th and 25th, the Sing us a Shanty
service will be offered on a ticketed first-come, first-serve basis for fans.
Each pirate shanty will be personalised to the unique adventures and stories
created by gamers in the “Sea of Thieves” multiplayer world. The sessions will
also be broadcast live across the Xbox ANZ Mixer,
Facebook and Twitch channels on Saturday and
Sunday, from 10:00AM till 06:00PM AEDT.
Keep
an eye on the Xbox ANZ Facebook
page for more details on how to book your Sing us a Shanty session via
Eventbrite.
Jeremy
“Harbinger” Hinton, Captain of Xbox Australia, said: “’Sea of
Thieves’ is already such an immersive game by design, so it’s only fitting we
give fans the chance to get their very own shanties from a real-life pirate
band. We’re really looking forward to seeing and hearing the tales of adventure
on high seas, shanties and treasured stories created between players and the
band.”
With “Sea
of Thieves”, you can join your friends, assemble your crew
and become a Pirate Legend, and Xbox Play Anywhere and cross-play ensure you’ll be
sailing with friends regardless of your platform of choice.
For
a lucky few, their voyages will be accompanied by the dulcet tones of their
very own pirate shanties describing their adventures, courtesy of Captain
Hellfire and the Wretched Brethren.
