Captain Jack Sparrow is joining your Sea of Thieves crew. That's either very good or very bad, depending on your point of view--from what we've seen of the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean tie-in expansion, A Pirate's Life, he seems like he's pretty fun to have around. On the other hand, he likes to get into the rum and he's a bit of a loose cannon.

Either way, Jack Sparrow represents a major shift in Sea of Thieves in its third year, and with A Pirate's Life, Rare's multiplayer live service game looks to be taking a big leap forward. As Rare showed in a presentation demonstrating what we can expect from the expansion, A Pirate's Life adds a huge amount of content that goes beyond just Pirates of the Caribbean-themed items and stories. It's adding a bunch of new characters, new enemies, and new places to explore.
