20 Most Anticipated Video Games Of 2018 - Ranked

17. Sea Of Thieves

Rare's Sea of Thieves is either going to land and take off like nobody's ever seen, or fall off the face of the Earth entirely.

Such is its attempt to create a ginormous, interconnected, dynamic multiplayer-fuelled world, that it'll need a sizeable community and fanbase to keep going. Essentially letting you match up with a group of friends, design and customise your ship, crew and various ornaments and then gallivant off to find what treasures await, there's a really cool sense of exploration to its various islands, caves and villages.

Best of all, multiple player teams can arrive at the same spot or try to head one another off when it comes to specific treasure, and you might come across other gamers out on the high seas too, resulting in the trading of cannon fire and the claiming of ships from both sides.

Rare are one of the best developers gaming has ever seen, and Sea of Thieves is their labour of love that's been worked on for many years. Here's hoping it all pays off.
