RARE ha annunciato la disponibilità dell'aggiornamento 1.1.0 del gioco, chiamato "The Hungering Deep", che porta moltissimi nuovi contenuti, oltre a diversi miglioramenti nelle performance e diversi bugfix. Oltre alle creature degli abissi, l'aggiornamento aggiunge un viaggio di scoperta con Merrick incluso (i contenuti rimarranno anche senza di lui).

The Hungering Deep
Bilge Rats - To stay in the know as to what is changing in the Sea of Thieves, visit the Bilge Rat character in the taverns to discover what time-limited events are active. Whether it's The Hungering Deep or future events, this is the place to go.
New Threat - Something old, vast and hungry is surfacing. Follow the trail of riddles and rumours. We hope you live to tell the tale.
Speaking Trumpet - Parley. Let other ships know if you are friend or foe with the new Speaking Trumpet, making yourself heard from longer distances. The first Speaking Trumpet is obtainable through The Hungering Deep campaign, but purchasable variants will be arriving in the shops in the near future.
Ship's Flags - Want to sink and plunder, or seek allies to adventure with? Let your intentions be known with new flags which can be raised high above your ship.Climb up to the crow's nest and decide which to raise.
Drum -Pirate percussionists (inspired by Merrick himself) can now be heard all across the seas. The first drum is obtainable through The Hungering Deep campaign, but purchasable variants will be arriving in the shops in the near future.
Tattoos - Many pirates wanted them and now they are here. Check out the vanity chest for 16 sailor tattoo sets and visit the clothing shop on outposts for stocks of four purchasable tattoo sets.
Scars - What enemies have fallen to your pirate might? Scars earned through campaigns and events such as The Hungering Deep will allow you to tell a story of your pirate's history and adventures. These are not purchasable, they must be earned.
Customization Variety
Shark Hunter Figurehead, Sails, Hull & Flag - With the strange increase in shark activity in the seas, shark hunting is on the rise. Shipwrights have caught on early to this trend and now stock a new figurehead, sail, hull and flag.
Sailor Sail Tints - Want a splash of color on your ship but don't have the coin? Those Shipwrights are impossible to bargain with. Sailor color variants for you more cost-conscious pirates are now being stocked. These include Black, Grass Green, Royal Blue, Red and Yellow.
Majestic Sovereign Clothing - If it's time to freshen up your look, check out the new Majestic Sovereign set in the clothing shop, it may tickle your fancy. Remember stock is different from outpost to outpost, so you may want to check the Ancient Isles.
Item Color Variants - Purchased the Grand Admiral, Castaway Bilge Rat, Ruffian Sea Dog or Imperial Sovereign clothing sets but want matching items? Now they are here. Shipments have arrived at the equipment shops on outposts.
Pirate Legend Dress - We heard feedback from our Pirate Legends that in the approach to summer, a breezy alternative to the existing Legendary attire would be appreciated. Future Pirate Legends will automatically be awarded this dress, and existing Pirate Legends can grab it in the Hideout for free.
Ghost Dress - Arriving in the same shipment as the Pirate Legend Dress, pirates can now complete the Ghost set with the dress, stocked in the Pirate Legends Hideout clothing shop.
Pirate Legend Flag - Rush to the Shipwright in the Pirate Legends Hideout to get yours.
