Treasure is a physical object that belongs to the player holding it, and what happens next is up to the player. Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Actually possible for the player to be this.Character Customization: Each player can customize how their pirate looks, from clothes to hair to makeup, right down to choosing their gender, all of which is purely cosmetic.Border Patrol: Sailing off the edge of the map, represented by a grayed-out border which is referred to in-game as the "Devil's Shroud" results in the seas turning blood-red while ominous music plays, and if the crew doesn't take the hint quickly enough and turn back, the ship gradually develops numerous holes until it sinks.Attack of the Monster Appendage: The Kraken consists of tentacles sticking out of the water, and there doesn't even seem to be a body.If you're in the Devil's Roar and a nearby volcano is active, embers falling from the sky will indicate that you're in range of the eruption and its flaming boulders, allowing you to quickly determine if you're safe or not.
So if you don't want to learn how to tack, you don't have to, but players that do learn can get upwind faster.
The Alcoholic: As one can expect from a pirate setting, you can take part in drinking in-game and drinking too much will make you intoxicated.Acrofatic: Body types range from "plank of wood" to "spheroid," and neither option hinders your mobility or skill at piracy in any way.Accordion to Most Sailors: One of the items you can use is a concertina, meaning that you can hunt for treasure and hang out on your ship while playing sea shanties on your concertina.On June 13, 2021, it was announced Rare had partnered with Disney for a crossover with Pirates of the Caribbean for an original adventure, "A Pirate's Life", where players get to hang with Jack Sparrow on one of his escapades. The world is large, and entirely handcrafted, said to take "6-8 hours" to travel from one end to the other. At the same time, they must watch out for enemy crews who possess more malicious intentions. They can form crews and man their own ship as they set sail to the seas in search of treasure in the massive world. The game is set in a persistent online world, where players can interact with each other in a wide variety of ways. This marks the first time since Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts And Bolts in 2008 that they have been the primary developer of a non-Kinect title.
