Players that are trying to steal your plunder will have a slightly harder time now, thanks to new anti-ganking mechanics, though you will still need to stay on your toes. There are skeletons of pirate past which will spring from the ground to threaten your crew, firing off old blunderbusses and trying to steal your hard earned treasure. In an update titled, Taming new Seas, players will have an expanded world to explore, with new islands to plunder and new dangers to avoid. That pool is ever increasing though, so if you are part of the alpha, you'll have new content to play with following the recent 0.1.1 update. Rare's Sea of Thieves is currently undergoing alpha testing with a select group of players.
