Developer Gameplay #5 - "Pirate Olympics"

Last week four Rare developers had a boatload of fun as they joined the community in another swashbuckling Technical Alpha play session and became embroiled in what was dubbed the “Pirate Olympics”.

This Developer Gameplay video features cross play action! Taking the Xbox One helm we have Design Director Mike Chapman and Animator Stephanie Timmins, while Senior Designer Andrew Preston and Retention Designer Josh Mitchell commandeered PCs.

Join them as they negotiate with a passing crew (dental plans and all). There’s a lot of treasure on the line, as the two ships duke it out to be the first to arrive at Shipwreck Bay. Will the losers stay true to their word, or will the Pirate Olympics end in trickery? Tune in to find out!
