Sea of Thieves Developer Aims for Unique Biomes, Not Just Palette Swaps.
Rare, the developer of Sea of Thieves, has expressed interest in adding new biomes to the game but wants to ensure they offer unique gameplay experiences rather than just being a "palette swap." The team also discussed the potential for crossovers with other IPs and the possibility of private servers or a solo mode. However, they emphasized that the shared world aspect of the game is at the heart of the experience. Additionally, Rare expressed interest in adding a photo mode in a future update and has had teams pitch ideas for Sea of Thieves spin-off games.
