Cursed Sails is the second planned DLC for Sea of Thieves. Release is scheduled for July 2018. The developers have stated that they will not be releasing information early and there isn't much currently known. The trailer released during E3 2018 described the DLC stating "And from the depths skeleton crews will rise to curse the seas. An ancient evil set loose upon the Sea of Thieves."
Cursed Sails is a free DLC that adds a new threat to the ever-dangerous waters: skeleton ships. These AI-controlled ships will emerge from the water as part of a time-limited campaign to introduce them through a story in order to build more lore into the world.
Rare has also been listening and will be implementing reasons to replay this campaign. One takeaway from The Hungering Deep is that players, upon defeating the megalodon, had no incentive to go and help other players take down the giant shark, except for the fun of it.
Though the campaign is time-limited, once it ends, the skeleton ships will stay as an emergent threat, similar to the kraken and the now released megalodon. An additional desire exists with the skeleton ships, as Rare wants to get to a place where they add them into quests, where players will need to go and take them down as part of said quest.
The skeletons aboard these ships won’t just be using regular cannonballs, they’ll be using something called a cursed cannonballs. These munitions have unique effects that will have an immediate impact on a crew and take on the appearance of a glowing orb similar to the sphere seen in the announcement trailer. A few of the effects have already been revealed during E3 2018: some will drop the anchor, raise the sails, stop the rudder from working, make crew members drunk, and there are likely to be other effects not yet mentioned.
At the beginning of the Cursed Sails campaign, the skeleton ships are the only ones able to use cursed cannonballs, but once the event ends, the skeletons will be leaving them in the world for players to find and use similar to finding and collecting gunpowder barrels.
Finally, and arguably the biggest piece of news revealed about Cursed Sails is the inclusion of a new ship type. The brigantine is a ship built from the ground-up for three players. It is purported to have two masts, two sails, two decks, and still feels like a “big” ship. It fits in that slot between the sloop and the galleon, for those players with too many friends for a sloop and not enough for a galleon.
