Sea of Thieves' big Forsaken Shores update is delayed until next week
Rare has announced that Forsaken Shores, the major new content update for multiplayer pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has been delayed. It was originally due to launch this Wednesday, September 19th, but is now scheduled to arrive next week, on Thursday 27th September.
Sea of Thieves' executive producer Joe Neate first warned of a potential delay to Forsaken Shores in a progress update on the game's official forum late last week. At the time, he noted that, "our last couple of updates have seen issues introduced into the build (such as the unfortunate spyglass incident) or have required emergency maintenance immediately following release. With Forsaken Shores it's our priority to make sure this doesn't happen again."
To that end, Neate has now made the delay official, explaining in a follow-up post that, "Our priority is to ensure we deliver a stable, polished and bug-free experience that all our players can enjoy. We have just had a weekend of Pioneer testing, which has highlighted a memory issue in the build, which is resulting in an unstable build where a large number of our Pioneers were experiencing crashes." Rare is currently working to resolve the "complex issue", but does not "feel in a position to release Forsaken Shores to our players with confidence this week."
