Exciting developments await in Sea of Thieves Season 16, where players will witness the dramatic return of Captain Flameheart. With Rare promising an intriguing evolution of his storyline, there’s a wealth of content on the horizon tied closely to the Reaper’s Bones. While many specifics are still under wraps, three outstanding features have been confirmed for this upcoming season that should enhance both combat and exploration. It’s safe to say that solo adventurers will find new camaraderie on their journeys. Here’s a closer look at what’s in store for players in Season 16.
Exciting Features in Sea of Thieves Season 16
1. Recruitable Skeletons

As Captain Flameheart’s sinister influence expands, players will discover the long-dormant members of the Order of Bone and Blade have resurfaced in Season 16. These skeletons can be unearthed and enlisted into your crew. Once you’ve added them to your ranks, they can assist you in locating hidden treasures, transporting chests, and even participating in combat.
In contrast to typical skeletal foes that disintegrate upon defeat, the Order of Bone and Blade skeletons have the remarkable ability to be revived after being vanquished. They are loyal allies that provide valuable support as you embark on your adventures.
2. Cannon of Rage

Introducing the Cannon of Rage, an innovative invention from the Reaper’s Bones. This portable cannon gives players an edge by allowing them to unleash additional firepower whenever necessary.
Whether you plan to assault a Fort of the Damned or need a quick way to reach elevated terrain, the Cannon of Rage is the perfect solution. You can also mount it on your ship for added defense, ensuring protection across your journey. Just remember, this formidable weapon heats up with use and can ignite if not monitored closely—so keep a bucket of water handy!
3. Reaper’s Chests Summoning Skeletons

While further details are forthcoming, players will have the capability to use Reaper’s Chests to summon the Order of Bone and Blade skeletons. This mechanic is expected to connect with the Reaper Rituals like Follower of the Flame and Ashen Followers of the Flame, paving the way for compelling new gameplay options.
As anticipation builds for Sea of Thieves Season 16, more insights and updates are expected in an upcoming detailed blog that will be released shortly before the new content goes live. In addition to these exciting new features, players can look forward to new cosmetics and items available for purchase, including those featured in the upcoming Plunder Pass.
