Attention pirates! The Sea of Thieves servers will be offline to close 'The Forsaken Hunter' Adventure from 9am UTC tomorrow, July 14th, giving you just one more day to unmask Merrick's assailant and discover the fate of the famed fisherman! Please plan your Voyages accordingly.

The chest has been opened!

Good work pirates, we're in! Now to see if we can make sense of what's inside. Maybe it can help us discover who this T character is...

We spotted a shady figure dragging this up the beach, but we have no idea how to get it open... anyone know any magic words? Use #SoTKeys for any serious suggestions, it worked last time we found a chest like this.

Now that the true nature of the Sea of the Damned is laid bare, a number of Phantoms have crossed over to haunt the Sea of Thieves. Some swear allegiance to The Reaper’s Bones, others to the Dark Brethren, but most are just out to wreak havoc for fun. #TriviaTuesday

Only a couple of days remain to uncover the truth behind Merrick's disappearance in our latest time-limited Adventure, 'The Forsaken Hunter'! Speak to Larinna and follow the trail before it goes cold at 9am UTC, July 14th.

Before July gets away with us, here's a platter of words on all that happened in June! It's the latest Sea of Thieves round-up, baked with two shovelfuls of Adventure, a bucket of Mystery, a pinch of Captaincy and a battered old tankard of camaraderie:

Marauders' masks, a song to seek spoils to, a restful Reaper and a crest recreation make up the creative efforts highlighted in our latest Community Hub update, which you can peruse here:

Tag your own antics with #BeMorePirate for a chance to appear!

Thanks for your patience, the Sea of Thieves servers are online once more! You should now be able to investigate Merrick's disappearance unhindered, or simply go about whatever piracy takes your fancy.

The Sea of Thieves servers are now offline so that an essential fix for the current Adventure, 'The Forsaken Hunter' can be applied. Sorry for any inconvenience – we'll let you know as soon as it's safe to set sail again.

This begins in 15 minutes from the time of posting. 15:50 BST/10:50 EDT/7:50 PDT.

Attention pirates! Apologies for the short notice, but a newly raised issue with the current Adventure means the Sea of Thieves servers need to go offline for emergency maintenance at around 14:50 UTC today. Please wrap up your Voyages and hand in your loot as soon as you can.
