Microsoft sells a special edition of the Xbox controller on the 40th anniversary of the Legendary Development Studio Rare, just a few weeks after the announcement of significant releases and cancellation of the long -awaited next project at Everwild studio.
The opportunity available today for this occasion is a sea of ruby thieves, which you need buy back via the Microsoft Rewards application.
Offers appear at an uncertain time for the studio, which now looks like a doubling of the Sea Thieves, his live pirate game began in 2018. Gregg Mayles, a occasional designer and director, apparently left the studio after the end of Everwild, just like producer Louise O’Connor.
Founded in 1985, British Development Studio Rare is best known for its fertile era cooperating with Nintendo about classics such as Donkey Kong, Banjo-Kazooie, Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark (whose restart was another victim of the last Microsoft cuts).
In all this is that they are occasional now their fifth decade, with the cooperation of the controller from the peripheral makeing 8bitdo, which contains a occasional logo and some of the sea of thieves. The controller in blue and gold is already on sale for a circumscribed time, Called at USD 89.99.
What next with occasional? Outside the sea is not clear. But during the term first direct transmission community, the developer explained that he was involved in the Buccaneer simulator and planned to inform him about the modern content for at least a few years.
The team in a occasional one is now working on a “long -term vision” to develop the overall scope of the sea of thieves beyond ordinary seasonal updates. The game will also gain an optional paid subscription offer in “Early 2026”, which will unlock custom servers.
