This is the day you will always remember as the day that Captain Jack Sparrow appeared in the maritime multiplayer adventure, Sea Of Thieves.
This inspired collaboration between Disney and Microsoft was announced in the Xbox and Bethesda showcase today, and honestly, we're stunned that the character hasn't been brought into the game before. In fact, there are a fair few Sea Of Thieves streamers who cosplay as Captain Jack Sparrow and roleplay as the salty sea dog, so this will be ripe for ridiculous jokes and an all-new exciting adventure. "Free Jack from his prison and witness the power of the world's greatest Pirate Treasure, which he just so happens to have stolen, before joining him on an unforgettable quest to stop dark forces from dominating this pirate paradise," reads the description from developer Rare.
Check out the trailer for A Pirate's Life below.

Expectedly, players are over the moon to see Jack Sparrow arrive in Sea Of Thieves, and executive producer Joe Neate is calling it "the ultimate pirate crossover." If the shoe fits."We're delving into the idea of the deeper meaning of pirate freedom, or what it means to be a pirate," creative director Mike Chapman told Variety. "Jack has that awesome line that I love from the first movie around what a ship really is, is freedom. So the idea that the Sea Of Thieves is positioned as this place that the pirate's life lives forever - that kind of narrative idea that Jack would want to be in the 'Sea Of Thieves' and he would see it like a legend, the legend of the fountain of youth - the positioning of the two worlds made a lot of sense."
Sparrow will become available in Sea Of Thieves as part of Season Three's free content, rolling out onto the briny blue on June 22nd.
