The team at Rare has delivered its deep dive into Sea Of Thieves Season 11, featuring a major change to how quests can be tackled going forward. Yep, the game's new 'Diving' mechanic allows players to effectively fast travel to quests rather than need to sail the high seas towards an objective.

This is an optional way of moving around the world, and players can still chill out with their crew if they'd like to take their time moving to quests. There seems to be a trade-off for diving too, so the mechanic will provide players a new choice as Sea of Thieves moves into its 11th season.

Elsewhere, most of the game's trading companies will get "major expansions" in this upcoming season, so you can expect to get more mileage out of those too. As expected, Sea of Thieves Season 11 is also bringing plenty of new loot items to the game - the new content drops on January 23rd.

You can check out Season 11's new features in the gameplay video up at the top of this article, and expect Rare to drop more tidbits of info between now and the season's launch. We'll see you diving under the high seas next week!
