What to expect from the Sea of Thieves Season 15 update

One of the biggest highlights of Season 15 is the introduction of two new Megalodons. These ancient sea monsters bring terrifying new abilities. The Feared Redmaw unleashes powerful explosions upon biting a ship, while the second Megalodon can summon electrical Ocean Crawlers onboard.

Another major addition is the expansion of The Hunter’s Call. This trade company now has dedicated shops at outposts, allowing pirates to fly their flag and build reputation faster. Completing Hunter’s Call voyages will also grant special loot, making the deep-sea challenges more rewarding.
