| Celebrate One Million Pirate Legends with Sea of Thieves Legends Week Posted: 04 Apr 2022 07:00 AM PDT Summary
Our Pirate Legends are the best of us: tough, tenacious players who've faced down everything the Sea of Thieves could throw at them to reach the upper echelons of the pirate world. We're delighted to share today that we recently passed the figure of one million Pirate Legends across the Sea of Thieves! In recognition of this milestone moment, we're throwing a week of celebratory shenanigans for both our current Pirate Legends and prospective ones. But how do you become a Pirate Legend? The title is bestowed upon players who prove their skill and spirit by reaching rank 50 with at least three Sea of Thieves Trading Companies. So whether you dedicate your time to collecting treasure for the Gold Hoarders, mastering the art of fishing with The Hunter's Call or sinking other player ships in service to The Reaper's Bones, the world's your oyster. It takes mastery in a breadth of nautical skills to gain this high honour, but the pace and pathway you take is uniquely your own.  Along with the Pirate Legend title comes a host of perks: the iconic 'We Shall Sail Together' shanty unlocks the secret entrance to the Pirate Legend Hideout, where elite Legendary wares are on offer alongside Voyages to build reputation with the Legends-only Trading Company, Athena's Fortune. Brand new Pirate Legend-exclusive content is also coming up soon as part of Sea of Thieves' current Season!  If you're thinking Pirate Legend status sounds special, that's because it is – and for us to hit seven figures of Legends is something that deserves fanfare, more than just a mere tip of the hat to those pirates who've persevered this far. So let's get into what's planned for the rest of Legends Week after today's announcement of our million-strong milestone!
Whether you're a veteran of the Pirate Legend Hideout, a freshly minted Legend or still on the road to sailor stardom, we hope you'll join us in this week-long festival of fun. Keep tabs on the Sea of Thieves website and social channels to stay up to date on the Legendary festivities as they unfold.  To finish, we just want to say thank you. To the million (and counting) players who have hit Pirate Legend, we want to recognize that achievement – thank you for spending hundreds of hours exploring our world and mastering the waves. To those of you who are still on your journey to Pirate Legend, whether you're at the beginning of that journey or nearing its end – the very best of luck, and we'll see you on the seas!
