Today if we talk about games as a service there is no better exponent when it comes to understanding the business what Fortnite, that does not stop renew each season Beyond the usual changes in the map, mechanics or weapons, by embracing all kinds of extremely popular licenses, such as Marvel, NBA, DC Comics or practically everything that is third within the culture of art in all its variants, even playing sports figures like Neymar Jr. It is a brand.
The last Call of Duty have incorporated Rambo and John McClane as a claim in a special event of its third season, but they are not the only video games either. Now, they all have something in common: they are limited events, unlike the future multiplayer of Halo: Infinite, what will fight this annoying FOMO. It was not the only news that E3 2021 left us by Microsoft, to see how he will bet squarely on the reputable licenses.
Jack Sparrow to sneak into Sea of Thieves soon
Sea of Thieves is one of the most colorful and fun IPs on Xbox One, although his debut was not as expected. RARE took time to polish its proposal, currently being the game that many of us had dreamed of, especially sharing the experience with other people. However, I needed a boost to get back, a content of weight for its new seasons.
Because in this kind of games everything is usually reduced to the same, creating new challenges, maps or treasures, hence someone who has put it aside for a while does not find the necessary incentive to return. Unless it offers a significant change. And here the Fortnite mirror is ideal, otherwise we would probably not be surprised to see the very Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean as an exceptional guest for the adventure.
Being a game that recreates the life of pirates, the options to offer something in this way could be the aforementioned Disney movie or Monkey Island, being a success by Microsoft to renew the brand of RARE’s Sea of Thieves.
Enjoy over 100 high-quality games, Xbox Live Gold, and an EA Play subscription for one low monthly price. For a limited time, get your first 3 months of Ultimate for 1 euro.
Thus, the Sea of Thieves Season 3, which will start on June 22, will carry the nickname of A Pirate’s Life to further reinforce the idea of living a pirate life in this adventure, for which there will be a new plot that will revolve around the aforementioned Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest of his famous crew.
Tomorrow, on the occasion of the new Microsoft Showcase, we will thoroughly see a portion of gameplay, but from the outset we know that there will be no The Black Pearl ni The Flying Dutchman, as two of the most iconic ships of the saga. Apart from the presence of the very Davy Jones, of course, as we saw in its presentation trailer. And there will be more surprises from the movies, for sure.
Not in vain this collaboration between Xbox, RARE and Disney will take us to visit some of the Pirates of the Caribbean locations, adapted to Sea of Thieves, so it will be interesting to see how it has been integrated with respect to Kingdom Hearts IIIFor example, one of the last times we saw all that troop in a different video game. The advantage is that this content is totally free, both for those who bought the game and for those who have Xbox Game Pass.
Microsoft Flight Simulator will bet on Top Gun
On the other hand we have the surprise of discovering that a video game as serious as Microsoft Flight Simulator will embrace these kinds of commercial gimmicks to promote the return of Top Gun to theaters by the end of the year.
It is the first license of this nature that you will receive, being very much appreciated by fans of aviation and for proposing a different style within this legendary simulator with almost 40 years of history, that the first one debuted in 1982, there is nothing. Because one thing is the thematic updates about countries with extremely beautiful landscapes and another thing is this type of content that will undoubtedly come in handy to scratch other types of clientele, without forgetting that the July 27 will enjoy a perfect showcase with its arrival to Xbox Series, another great milestone.
And it is that this saga was always the exclusive preserve of PC, taking this maxim to the letter, unlike Football Manager, with slight foreplay on consoles until his return with Football Manager 2021. But going back to Microsoft Flight Simulator, it’s an interesting twist to their policy with updates, just like Sea of Thieves, where the issue of licenses until now stayed at home, with themed ships on other Xbox Game Studios products.
Saving the distances, this class of licenses suppose a step up from what had been done with the Forza Horizons, where the third one put us squarely on the slopes with eternal loops of the Hot Wheels o ya Forza Horizon 4 with the implementation of the iconic LEGO. With what will the future surprise us Forza Horizon 5? It is still early days, but any madness can fall …
Yes indeed, that next in Sea of Thieves is Monkey Island, please.
