Auroch are setting sail with Sea of Thieves
/Grab a grog and take a seat, we’ve got an exciting Work For Hire project to share with you all.
We’re sailing the seas with Rare and are creating some hearty cosmetics for Sea of Thieves that will be premiering in Season Ten.
We’ll also be sure to update our Sea of Thieves Work For Hire section regularly when new content is dropped.
Working alongside Rare, a studio that has been making games for well over three decades, is such a fantastic opportunity not just for Auroch as a studio, but for all our developers who are now able to contribute to their legacy. Sea of Thieves is such a groundbreaking and delightful game, it is our honour to batten down the hatches alongside Rare to bring even more cosmetic goodies to the game. We can’t wait for you to see what we’ve created!
"Rare are, with good reason, one of the greats of the video games industry. So, when the opportunity arose for us to work with such an illustrious partner and on such an iconic game, Sea of Thieves, we leapt at the chance! Lots of the Auroch team, myself included, were fans of the game anyway so getting to work on the title is a huge honour for us. We're all super-focused on adding to the player experience and bringing a bit of the Bristol (where our office is based) spirit to the hearty work. Bristol in the 16th Century was a bit of a centre for piracy, with famous figures such as Blackbeard hailing from our home port."
- Tomas Rawlings, Studio Director, Auroch Digital
We’ll be sure to share with you whenever some new content splashes into the world of Sea of Thieves across our socials and on our Work for Hire section. And if you’re a developer, you can check out our page on the work we’re doing for Rare here and get in touch if you’d like to hire us for any co-development collaboration.
"We’re delighted to be working with the fine folks at Auroch on Sea of Thieves cosmetics. They’re already showing such an understanding of and commitment to the spirit of Sea of Thieves, and we can’t wait for players to get some of these exciting new items in their hands! Cosmetics play such an important part in Sea of Thieves, with our players wearing the stories of their pirates on their sleeves – so it was critical we partnered with a team who really understood that, and could bring their talent, experience and quality to the table."
- Louise Roberts, Pirate Emporium Producer, Rare
