This week in Sea of Thieves, we sit down for the last episode of the year to talk to the Gold Hoarders about Season 18, The Orb Stream, Hourglass Changes, and more! It's a great discussion as always, and I'm glad we got to end the year chatting with friends about the latest season!   Support: https://www.patreon.com/keelhauledpodcast During December, Monthly members can get 20% off using the Code:...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to dive into the patch notes and talk about the opening week for Season 18. The new Eternal Guards are a fresh take on a boss fight, but will people enjoy them or should Rare vary up the mechanics more in the future? Some new vaults in the world have a hefty amount of gold to be gotten as well, but you'll only find them in the Roar. Tridents are cool with how...

Tune in for a breakdown of December 2025 in Sea of Thieves, featuring the return of the annual Festival of Giving!

Plus, don't miss details on Treasures for Hope charity initiative, the daily Gilded Voyage Giveaways, the...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I dive into the Treasures for Hope Charity event that kicks off today! Festival of Giving is making a return, and it's time to recap what will be coming in Season 18.

This week in Sea of Thieves, Rare has released the latest patch, which includes quick swap ranged weapons as well as the return of Reaper Chests to the Fort of the Damned. A quality of life update came with the reduction of black screens for lower-end hardware. The biggest thing right now is that Rare is looking to sell you a customizable audio setup for $20 to simulate 7.1 channel audio for the g...

Short Episode This week! I took a trip this weekend, so I didn't have much time for an episode. Thankfully, the news this week was also light! I had an idea for addressing pets in Sea of Thieves, inspired by a Fortnite update.    Support: https://www.patreon.com/keelhauledpodcast Contact Info: Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/captlogun.bsky.social Email:  Captlogun@gmail.com Twitter:  https://tw...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's a shame we have to do this song and dance one more time. Season 18 has been delayed, and while we're getting quality of life updates this month, the release of new content is going to be pushed out further than anticipated. I cover a bunch in this episode, but a lot of this is my thoughts on Rage and Bone Crates, Overhealth, and the overall design of Sea of Thieve...

This week, it has been another month, and it's time to get a gauge on how the start of Act 3 is for Season 17 with the Gold Hoarders as they sit down to join me for another episode. It's always great to find out if their opinions fall in line with my own. We try to avoid spoilers for Lottie's Request and Insiders chat, but most of that will be in next week's episode!

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to get an impression of the latest addition to Season 17. While I'm happy with how the forts turned out, both on High Seas and Safer Seas, there's a lingering issue that I have with the Emporium. There are also some changes coming in the future that will make a majority of Hourglass players happy, and quick swap is now being tested in Insiders. All that and m...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's that time before an update, where we get all the videos revealing what's coming up and going to be released. So it's time to go in and talk about what to expect. I think one of the interesting about this is going to be the mega-bundle in the emporium. It's a good value if you don't own a lot of it but for those that own a good chunk of the bundle won't benefit fro...

Ahoy there Pirates, you know I love it when I get to talk about all the awesome stuff going on with the game. I love my lore, I love my adventures and I love it even more when everyone else is loving it as well. The one thing I love the most, though? Halloween. It's my favorite holiday and I love to celebrate it as long as I'm allowed. I also love it when that's represented in games. While I think...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time for the Gold Hoarders to sit down and have a discussion on the second act of Season 17! We spend most of our time discussing the actual event and how things are progressing. I was really happy to have as many folks as we did this episode, and I wish we had an opportunity to talk more about weapons swapping and FOV changes to the game. There's definitely going...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to break into Royal Crest Fortress and explain why Ocean Crawlers care about art. Act 2 in Sea of Thieves' Season 17 is live with the Smuggler's Heist, and I have some lore and breakdowns for you in case you haven't already done the event yourself. There are some new things to buy and some more reminders about Twitch Drops, FOV changes to the game, and the Ra...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time we get some details on the upcoming month-long event for the game. I had the opportunity to experience it on Insiders, and some initial thoughts are worth discussing when it's released later this week. There are some updates regarding Twitch Drops, given the confusion about who can provide them, which sparks a soapbox tangent and some valuable information abo...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the important dates for what's happening in September. As I get things settled in, I'll be able to get into the swing of things and have more to talk about as we get closer to the second update for Season 17. That being said, I wouldn't have had an episode if not for the Patrons, so again, huge shout-out to them for helping me. I'm looking forward to the upcoming...

Ahoy Pirates! It is the end of the month, and I was expecting to have a much different episode out for you this week. Instead, the missing episode will be lost due to the forever black screen.  Instead, Caleb decided to surprise me with a totally random and really entertaining episode to tide you all over during my travel across the country. Thanks to Caleb for totally surprising me with this, and...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I sit down and talk to a good group of the Gold Hoarders and get some first impressions for Season 17. It's not all glitter and gold, and you might be surprised by some of the feelings they have. GodHammer does a wonderful job of breaking down the upcoming Community Weekend as he took the time to break down the news. All in all, it's an interesting start to a season th...

This whole party will be for nothing if they see us. So make sure you keep your distance, but don't look like you're keeping your distance with these new kegs. This week, it's time to dive into the first week of Season 17 and break down some of the changes that came with this update.

This week in Sea of Thieves, I can't help but ignore the 400-pound gorilla in the room who's asking for parking validation. Season 17 looks like a good approach to the new development for Sea of Thieves, but they still have to make the content compelling. Things are hectic for your Captain, but I'm still trying to get content out for you regularly. I hope you all had a good Gold and Glory weekend...

This week in Sea of Thieves, I wanted to go over in more detail my thoughts on the latest podcast from Rare. There are some valuable pieces of information regarding the custom servers, including what's included, as well as the rollout of Season 17 as a new means of delivering content and what to expect over the next few months. Some info came out from Drew about the feedback received in Insiders a...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time for an intimate chat with a couple of the Gold Hoarders this month as we dive into how Season 16 has gone and this month's worth of content. We go a bit into the upcoming seasons and talk about the pros and cons of the Insider program having the NDA removed. GodHammer and Regis were kind enough to join me this month and shout out to all of those who wanted to...

It's the last update for Season 16, and I'd say the Reapers had a good run. Events were well-themed, and the update to Reaper's keeps the faction interesting. It's time to break down the latest patch notes and cover the Twitch drops and other updates!   Links: https://www.seaofthieves.com/community/forums/topic/179747/s17-the-smugglers-heist-of-royal-crest-fortress-feedback-thread-insider-update-3...

Things are looking up for Sea of Thieves as the dev team takes some time to talk about the changes they're making to give the community a sense of trust as they commit to focusing on requested features and less about unsure updates, less balanced seasonal content and more certainty with upcoming events and more.   Links: https://youtu.be/NKQiiI3ElkU?si=uLLA736SUYt5wY6x https://www.youtube.com/watc...

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's bad news for the studio as Everwild has been shut down, along with many other projects within Xbox being killed off. We just got news for Sea of Thieves this week as we're looking to the final update for Season 16, but notably, there doesn't seem to be a community weekend planned.
