Sea of Thieves season 7 has been delayed a little bit to allow Rare to polish it up and avoid crunch.
As announced by executive producer Joe Neate over on Sea of Thieves' official news feed, the particularly ambitious new season simply needs a little more time in the oven to make sure it's in shipshape and to ensure developers aren't burning themselves out in the process. As such, it's now due to go live on August 4 instead of July 21 as originally planned.
"As we started getting closer to the originally stated release date, it became apparent that things were coming in hotter than we liked and there was a real risk of not delivering to the quality and polish we expect, as well as putting undue pressure across the team to get it all over the line," Neate wrote.
Season 7 will also bring about the game's next Adventure, titled A Hunter's Cry, on August 18. We don't know much about it yet, but the time-limited narrative jaunt will likely continue the story set up in previous Adventures.
