13 Upcoming Xbox One Exclusive Games You Must Consider

8. Sea Of Thieves

Gears Of War 4 Cuphead Forza Horizon 3
Rare

Release Date: TBA 2017

The Buzz: When Rare are developing a game, you know the hype is real. Sea of Thieves is their attempt to replicate the "pirate experience", allowing players to take control of a ship in order to sail the seas, fight enemies, hunt treasure, make friends and even get drunk on rum.

The always-online game sees players taking to the seas with up to three other players to carry out quests and live the pirate life to their heart's content. Rare have been fairly cagey about giving too much away so far, but they have confirmed that the game will feature RPG-like progression elements.

While some are naturally wary that Rare announced too early and are now struggling to cope with the hype (reflected by their frequent "no comment" answers when asked about the game at E3), a multiplayer pirate simulator is such a cool concept it'd be tough for a team this talented to completely screw it up.
