Keelhauled: A Sea of Thieves Podcast

Ep. 413 Doubloon Deadlines and Bilge Rat Weekenders

The April 2026 update for Sea of Thieves brings a wave of new events and game editions, headlined by the introduction of the Bilge Rats Weekender starting April 16th, which features fireworks, new challenges, and the return of the Festival of Fishing. Pirates should act fast to grab commemorative Doubloon Hoarder cosmetics before the currency reset on April 16th, while those looking to join the fray can pick up the refreshed 2026 Editions of the game. The month is further packed with Fight Nights offering increased Allegiance, and a Solo Styles Sale in the Pirate Emporium to ensure every legend looks their best on the high seas.

Ep. 412 Did Rare's Community Direct Miss the Mark?

Ahoy pirates! I hope you had a good weekend, and apologies for getting this out a little later than anticipated. I sat down tonight and had a lot of processing to do with this episode and how I feel about what was said in the Community Direct. It was a good direct, but was it a great one? That will depend on your perspectives, but I hope that by providing mine, I can add some knowledge to the pool.

Ep. 411 March 2025 Gold Hoarder

Ahoy Pirates! This week, I sit down with Gold Hoarders to talk about the end of Season 18 and the start of Season 19 with the updates to Hourglass. We take a look at the changes and how everyone engaged with them. Are they working as intended? How did the last season hold up? What are we hoping to hear about in the community direct?

All that and more this week!

Ep. 410 SoT's Eighth Anniversary!

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's the 8th anniversary for the studio, and I try to break down all the stuff going on, as well as my thoughts on the new Hourglass fights. It's crazy to think of what this season was going to be, but even as I went through making this episode, I noticed bugs in the game. This update brings in some new cosmetics but mostly focuses on Hourglass. Hopefully, you're having a good time with the new changes, but I'm looking forward to better QA in the future.

Ep. 409 Hotfixes-ish and Emporium Controversy

This week in Sea of Thieves, we have a hotfix to come in and try to fix some of the big bugs that came in from Act 3 Gary's. I'm still seeing issues related to rowboats, so just be cautious with using them. We've got news about the Doubloon Cutlass, as well as what came into the emporium and why there's something coming that has people grabbing their pitchforks. All that and more on this week's episode!

Ep. 408 Have you seen the Garys?

Ahoy Pirates! This week in Sea of Thieves, it's finally Act 3 of Season 18, and all the bugs aside, I have to say I like the new Garrisons. They bring a lot more thought and detail than I've had time to appreciate, but, hey, that's what Safer Seas is for. I hope you're not running into too many issues. I know I definitely think this update could use some more tuning. There's a lot to cover for dates and events, as well as how to make your way into the new garrisons. Gary Sons? Garys.

Ep. 407 Feb. 2026 Gold Hoarder Episode!

This week in Sea of Thieves, we are on the launch week of Act 3 for Season 18, and I'm sitting down with two of the Gold Hoarders to talk about the lastest podcast news as how they feel about the game in it's current state. We also come in to talk about when we last felt good about the game as a whole.

Ep. 406 Rare Kills New Seasonal System?

Ahoy there, Pirates, and Happy 8th Anniversary of the Keelhauled Podcast! It's a longer episode because I think we've got a lot to talk about with the upcoming patch for Act 3 in Season 18, as well as what the new plan for Season 19 holds in store. Drew has said quite a bit about the future of the studio and how they want to approach their content pipeline. It's not an easy thing to talk about, and I'm impressed that just after two seasons, this new approach is being reconsidered.

Thanks to the community for getting folks together for an awesome congrats on the 8th anniversary, Norwegian for sending it over, and Caleb for editing it!

Ep. 404 Podcast Not Found

This week in Sea of Thieves, it's time to talk about Act 3 for Season 18. There's a Gold and Glory weekend coming at the end of the month, as well as discounts in the emporium. The biggest news to me is what I experienced on Insiders with the new Ashen Garrisons, as well as the very quiet news about the latest Sea of Thieves comic! Gameblast26 is coming up to support the charity SpecialEffect, and you can pick up quite a bit of Obsidian cosmetics for a healthy donation.
