Notorious Pirates In-Game?

    Hey devs!

    Big pirate (and Sea of Thieves!) fan here. I've always been interested in notorious pirates in history. Blackbeard, Anne Bonny (who I'm pretty sure I'm related to in some way), Calico Jack, etc. Is there a chance that these characters might be portrayed in game or have stories around them? Rumors and rumblings are good too!

    The world of Sea of Thieves is pretty rich on its own. It's great playground to introduce new cutthroat and nasty pirates! But I'd love to see an end-game type of quest to track down and take out a famous pirate from history. That'd be quite an adventure.

    Keep up the great work. Really looking forward to release!

    None of the infamous pirates we know of IRL will be in game. Sea of Thieves is it's own mythical world. We will have our OWN legendary pirates!

    From an early stage Rare intended to build a game that has its own legends. A game where players become the Blackbeards and the Anne Bonny's of the world, so to say. We might see some legendary Sea of Thieves pirates (the captain of the ferry of the damned, for example), but a reference to actual history is highly unlikely.

    @erinom3 Very true. I like the idea of becoming my own legend. And seeing the captain of The Ferry of the Damned doing anything besides steering his ship is going to be horrifying!

    There might be room somewhere to credit them though. Even naming high tier voyages after them or something.

    As much as I'd love some irl pirate references, I think the game is set before the golden age which would rule out most of the well known pirates.

    @originalzulkai they've mentioned the Golden age is coming (expansion?) So it's always a possibility!
