Sea of Thieves Season 7 is on the way, but it won't come into port on schedule. Developer Rare has announced that Season 7 will now arrive on August 4. This is a small delay from the previously announced July 21 release date for Season 7.

The big-ticket item in Season 7 is "Captaincy," which, as its name suggests, allows players to become captains of a ship. Season 7 also allows players to name their ship.

Explaining the delay, Rare said in a blog post that it will spend the additional time working on polish and quality.
