Sea of Thieves Season 16 Highlights
1) Skeleton Followers

Ever wanted to dig with a skeleton and let him do all your tasks? Well, your wish has been granted because the developers just added this feature in the new update. As you explore islands, you will find skeletons’ hands coming out of sand. Just dig them up, and you’ve got yourself a skeleton follower. These followers can help in finding treasure, fighting enemies, carrying treasure, and more. Additionally, servants of the Flame faction have access to some of the cosmetics for these skeleton followers.

2) Cannon of Rage

Just like skeletons, you can find these cannons lying anywhere on the land. These cannons are portable, and you can even use them on your ship. This is a very good addition, as you can use these cannons to fight the forts and get to hard-to-reach locations. Additionally, you can use them on your ship to have extra firepower. However, one thing that you should know is it can get hot after using it. Failure in controlling temperature can lead to a big explosion, so use water to keep the cannons cool all the time.
3) Launch on Battle.net

The developers of Sea of Thieves have finally launched the game on Battle.net. You can claim Sails of Bonded Brawlers just by logging in through the portal. You can find the sails in the customization chest of the ship. Note that you have to link your Battle.net with your Microsoft account to enjoy the service.

5) New Voyages

For the Reaper’s Bones, a new quest named The Search for Ancient Secrets is announced. Sail around the world and uncover secrets of the fabled Order of Bone and Blade.
