Sea of Thieves Early Prototype: Before Sailing, Pirates Almost Bowled Over Competition
In a recently unveiled prototype of the beloved pirate game Sea of Thieves, fans were shocked to find that the early iterations looked remarkably like the bowling animations seen at arcades. High-res polygonal pirates with non-specific appendages, incapable of changing appearance much like creatures stuck in the Spore editor, are seen wandering the seas, disregarding traditional ship duties.A reference to the earliest pirate prototypes can be bought today from the game's shop: The Figurehead of the First Crew, priced nostalgically at 3,202,018 gold pieces, echoing back to the game's launch date of March 20, 2018. Fans humorously noted they had 'seen this episode of ReBoot already’ while others whimsically chanted 'We are the pirates who don’t do anything,' suggesting developers initially mistook swashbuckling for bowling.
