All Hallow’s Eve celebrations have Sea of Thieves fanatical following, and Rare doesn’t disappoint with its extremely attractive teaser. The official Sea of Thieves Twitter dropped a cryptic ‘October 1 | September 30’ tweet along with an image of a likely spooky new lantern surely some sort of cosmetic. The pirate community is going mad speculating what is in store for the annual Halloween celebrations in the game.
A terrifying glow emanates from the pumpkin-carved lantern being held, reminiscent of Halloween oil lamps. This potential awesomely eerie new cosmetic instantly shot for madness in the replies. SherlockSparrow stated, “I would love that lantern! I always use the soooky bucket!” Limesprout just said, “I need the spooky lantern! 🎃.” Yeah, they’re talking about the new cosmetic.
Perfect timing, truly; Sea of Thieves held past Halloween events for Forsaken Hunter stuff. So supposing the Halloween update indeed drops on the 30th of September, the festivities will really pick up steam on October 1. Lexar Gaming nailed the entire vibe with, “Time to put our Halloween decorations out in the front yaaaaaaaaaaard 🏴☠️🎃🦜,” staying in lock-step with the community mood.
Besides this lantern, the community demands an even bigger and better celebration this year. User br4venz0o said, “Pls lets have a good Halloween event this time,” signaling excitement but with some expectation that Rare better deliver. On the other hand, to tease a bit as well, TimStatic probably suggested a return with “Lots MOAR Jack O’Looter coming!👀🎃🏴☠️” – so another fan-favorite Halloween items-return-from-the-past for years might be The Rare’s.
Positive reactions are ongoing from the public, as many players are sharing their excitement regarding “spooky time” and decorating. User CaptainGG_R commented with a ghost: “HEHEHE BOOO….👁️,” which totally fits the mood. Hull Lariash glued to the hype dropping an excited GIF saying, “Could it be ?! 🤩🤩🤩.”
Just out of nowhere, Kabelfritz stated, “Its not like anyone likes xbox right now,” coming as an illogical rogue snipe meant to distract and ruin the momentum. Another brought in some points on Xbox’s recent price changes; meanwhile, most of the players still focused on pleasant yet spine-chilling pirate fun.
Who would have believed that this would be hyped so much? Several players complimented the new lantern’s design, too, with CappCabbage saying, “Ooooo new lantern? 🎃,” and ArnieSiderfin21 saying, “That fit is siickk,” showing that in the Sea of Thieves community, even the tiniest cosmetic touches matter.
Late September just fits in nicely to drum up hype going into October, which is when most Halloween events really kick into gear. Given Sea of Thieves’ history of seasonal events, these players are expecting some seriously well-spooked shenanigans on the high seas. Whether that means special voyages, haunted cosmetics, or a few ghostly encounters, the community is ready to dive headfirst into the deep spirit of Halloween.
Mel the Servant’s Flame said, “Embrace the spooky all year round!” with a festive GIF – Halloween is not just-season for some pirates anyway. With that pumpkin lantern being as darn cool as it is, would you really want to?
Near said dates, one can expect Rare to be dropping reveal after reveal about what exactly they have brewing for Sea of Thieves’ Halloween. From the reaction by the community thus far, everyone down for some spooky pirate hijinks. Along with the new cosmetics, and hopefully new Halloween-themed content, will make this among the great seasonal events the game has ever seen. Get those pirate costumes ready so forth to set those anchors and commence some haunted partying by the 30th of September.
