Why Sea of Thieves could be the next Fortnite Sea of Thieves has been out for just under a year now, but the foundation and potential is there for it to be the next Fortnite \u2013 in good time. Some people might point towards that March 2018 release date and think \u2018well, if it hasn\u2019t blown up yet\u2026 Why will it blow up now?\u2019 That\u2019s a very fair conclusion to come to. However, in an age where so many children \u2013 and even adults \u2013 are watching, following and supporting streamers on Twitch, movements from some of the biggest personalities on the platform could be an indication towards a possible meteoric rise for the pirate game in the near future. Summit1g has established himself as the biggest Sea of Thieves streamer so far, but his ever rising popularity on Twitch seems to have turned the heads of other streamers as well \u2013 Dr Disrespect, Ninja, CouRage and TimTheTatMan are just some of the big names that have been playing the game of late. With that being said, there are many reasons related to gameplay which could also be playing a big part in the shift. Battling, sailing and taking on quests for treasure is fun. There\u2019s an exciting competitive PvP element to it as well, when you come up against enemy crews you don\u2019t really know what to expect. It\u2019s unpredictable in that sense. Sit back and look at Fortnite over a sustained period of time, during Season 7 for example, and you\u2019ll see how streamers are becoming tired of it. The game is changing rapidly and many of those changes are causing frustration on a weekly basis. You don\u2019t get that with Sea of Thieves and it offers the same flexibility. You can play alone on a Sloop, as a duo and a trio on a Brigantine, or have a crew of up to four players on your Galleon. Surely, the likes of The Doc, Ninja and others would be able to put together some hilarious crews in that regard. When you throw down your sails and pull up your anchor, you\u2019re going to enjoy yourself as part of a squad. That might involve your own quests, coming into contact with other players or maybe stealing loot from other ships. As Summit1g has proven already, this game can be used to create tons of good content for viewers to enjoy. The game does have its limitations, though. Sea of Thieves is very basic in terms of in-game activities and it hasn\u2019t changed an awful lot since it was first released, whereas Epic Games \u2013 for better or for worse \u2013 is constantly innovating, finding ways to keep people interested. That doesn\u2019t mean to say that Microsoft Studios aren\u2019t going to innovate and grow the game, especially with increased popularity. Of course they will, but perhaps slower than these streamers will be used to. Moreover, what we\u2019re seeing right now is a number of big streamers who have not really put much time into the game before jump on the bandwagon. For all we know, they could drop the game tomorrow and never play it again, but that\u2019s not going to happen. This pirate game might not offer the same competitive experience as Fortnite, but with increased interest from streamers, a demand for Sea of Thieves content and a solid game that has stuck to its vision, there\u2019s no hiding that this one could turn from a slow burner to the next big thing on Twitch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
