But hearing from Sea of Thieves creative director Mike Chapman, it's not just the movies that form the basis for this expansion it's also the original Disney theme park ride on which the film series is based. Rare could've done much worse for a first-ever crossover than one of Disney's biggest live-action movie franchises. That's especially momentous for a game that has only existed in its own universe, with no crossovers since it first launched in 2018. The first trailer for a free, previously unannounced June 22 expansion called A Pirate's Life revealed that Jack Sparrow, of Pirates of the Caribbean fame, is coming to Sea of Thieves. Fans of Rare's excellent pirate role-playing simulator, Sea of Thieves, got quite a surprise during the June 13 Xbox reveal showcase.
