Rare’s Sea of Thieves since its rocky launch earlier this year has slowly turned around with the addition of new content being added to the online open world title, most recently with the Cursed Sails and Forsaken Shores expansions which introduced new creatures, ships, and locales to give you a reason to return if you already lost interest. Now it was recently announced that another titled update will becoming to the game named Shrouded Spoils.

In this new update, a thick layer of fog has emerged from the depths below covering the surface of the deep blue making your voyages more hazardous when close to landmasses. New creatures have made their way into the sea of thieves as The Hungering One has appeared along with the Kraken receiving a difficulty boost, which also allows the sea creature to attack all types of ships now.

Other foes that will be surface in the latest update includes more skeleton crews as they populate the scattered skeleton forts throughout the game’s map. And within the fog a new skeleton ship, The Devil’s Roar has been uncovered which is said to be more unpredictable than the more ordinary skeleton crew ships. Alongside the new ship of the undead introduces the skeleton sloop, which features a more agile way of attacking players that run into conflict with it.

Loot also has been expanded upon as players clear out the newly inhabited skeleton forts, ancient bone dust and stronghold gunpowder barrel which can be sold for a good price to the Merchant Alliance. Ancient Mermaid Statues have started to appear again, when destroyed players can find mystical gemstones which can be traded to any of the three companies for a good bargain.

Cosmetics too will play a part in Shrouded Shores as there are over a handful to choose from, as well some are only available for a limited time like the Wailing Barnacle & legendary Item Set. Here’s the full list of the new ship skins for the new update:

  • Legendary
  • Kraken
  • Sovereign
  • Bone Crusher
  • Sea Dogs
  • Ocean Crawler
  • Admiral
