Sea of Thieves celebrated Season 2 by lighting up Sydney skies – Microsoft

Xbox ANZ kicked off Season 2 by setting Sydney Harbour alight with a Sea of Thieves drone show

On 21 April, Xbox ANZ announced a drone show to celebrate the launch of Sea of Thieves Season 2. Since Sea of Thieves launched in 2018, over 20 million pirates globally have begun to chart their own tales of high seas adventures.

Curious fans were encouraged to piece together the map on social media and uncover the secret location of this Pirate themed celebration. A spectacular Sea of Thieves drone show lit up the night and recreated some of the games best iconography above Botanical Gardens, Sydney.

A stream was held on April 21 from 10:30pm* AEDT across Xbox ANZs Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Twitch for fans to catch the action! Viewers could also participate with their own socials with the hashtag #BeMorePirate. Fans could uncover loot of their very own with 50 Ancient Coin and 50 Plunder Pass codes up for grabs during the stream and the chance to win an exclusive, official Sea of Thieves treasure chest of pirate goodies including a limited-edition custom controller.

Were excited to be celebrating the start of Season 2 of Sea of Thieves and thank our Australian fans for all their support over the last three years. 2021 is looking to be the biggest year yet, and we cant wait to bring even more high seas adventures to Aussies. I would like to thank of fans who tuned into our drone show to watch the harbourside takeover fit for a pirate legend. Tania Chee, Xbox Lead for ANZ
