As announced by Executive Producer Joe Neate on Sea of Thieves Official Newsfeed, Sea of Thieves Season 7 just needed a bit more time in the oven to ensure that it is ship shape and that developers are not burning out in the process. In their announcement, developers from Rare said with the upcoming work update, they needed extra time to ensure that it was polished and in line with their quality standards. Developer Rare also confirmed that Adventures of A Hunters Cry would still arrive soon after the launch of Sea of Thieves season seven, on August 18.
Development studio Rare share Friday that Sea Of Thieves Season 7 is now scheduled for release on August 4, several weeks behind its original planned release date of July 21. According to the latest info shared, specifically via the game’s official Twitter account and a recent post on its official site, Sea of Thieves Season 7 is delayed. Wannabe Pirate Captains will have to wait, though, because Rare has confirmed season 6 will continue till August making it the longest season.
Captaincy is a huge addition to our pirate sandbox, and while we know delays are disappointing, it'll take just a little more time to get everything ship-shape. Season Seven will now arrive on August 4th. More on this from Executive Producer Joe Neate: https://t.co/TsTNAgW7Dh pic.twitter.com/NTIHklAqC0

However, a lot of players are getting restless with the delayed Season 7 release, wondering when they can expect to sail into Sea of Thieves’ newest developments. In a pre-dawn announcement, Sea of Thieves developer Rare announced the debut of a new season has been delayed until later in the summer. The next season of Sea of Thieves was announced at last month’s Xbox showcase. Sea of Thieves Season 6 started back in March of 2022, now ending in August, confirmed Rare, making Season 6 easily the longest season Sea of Thieves has seen to date.
To make sure features and updates serve both those purposes, Rare says they are pushing the release date of next season’s content forward. Due to its intentions, Rare Ltd has decided to delay its release to August 4 in order to accommodate more needed work on UI, stats, etc. Developer Rare acknowledged players might be disappointed with the delay, as season six started back in March, with a long-awaited upcoming update.
