Latest News
With Season 7 fast approaching we figured this would be a good spot to bring you up to speed on any new developments and leaks, especially those from some of the games community like YouTuber Falcore. So read on, and get up to speed!
Sea of Thieves Season 7 Release Date
Update 2: Sea of Thieves Season 7 has ben confirmed to start on July 21st, 2022. Update 1: Sea of Thieves Season 7 has been delayed, and will now launch at the end of July 2022.
At the time of writing Rare has not announced an official date for when Sea of Thieves Season 7 starts. Despite this, we do know that Season 7 is “launching June 2022” as confirmed by the Sea of Thieves 2022 roadmap.
In addition, past seasons have typically lasted somewhere between 9 to 14 weeks, so we can probably give a good prediction as to when the season starts. To help, take a look at the table below.
| Season | Start Date | End Date | Duration |
| Season 1 | January 28, 2021 | April 15, 2021 | 11 Weeks |
| Season 2 | April 15, 2021 | June 22, 2021 | 9 Weeks |
| Season 3 | June 22, 2021 | September 23, 2021 | 13 Weeks |
| Season 4 | September 23, 2021 | December 2, 2021 | 10 Weeks |
| Season 5 | December 2, 2021 | March 10, 2022 | 14 Weeks |
| Season 6 | March 10, 2022 | “June 2022” | NA |
Given that we know Season 7 is starting in “June” we can make a fairly solid guess as to when Season 6 ends and Season 7 starts.
If Sea of Thieves Season 7 was to start on June 2, it would be 12 weeks since the start of Season 6. Likewise, June 9 would be 13 weeks and June 16 would be 14 weeks. So really we’re looking at a launch date for the next season somewhere between June 2 and June 16.
As we’ve noted though, this is just a rough prediction on our part, so take it with a pinch of salt until Rare provides an official announcement.
