Destruction AllStars team Lucid Games has today confirmed it's helping first-party Xbox studio Rare with the making of content for Sea of Thieves. According to a tweet, it sounds like the developer has been aiding development for a little while, but now the UK studio has made its support public as it produces more updates for the sea-faring experience on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. It's now actively hiring across a variety of positions.
"We’re excited to announce that we are working with Rare Ltd on Sea of Thieves," it wrote on Twitter. "It’s been incredible supporting them on their thrilling pirate adventure & we can’t wait to see where this legendary voyage will take us!"
Destruction AllStars has been supported since its February 2021 launch on PS5 with new modes and events rotated in and out of the car battler. However, without any upcoming updates announced by Lucid Games and the title's Twitter account having fallen silent since October, it's possible the game may no longer be supported with content or patches.
Lucid Games was also the developer behind the Twisted Metal reboot before production was handed over to Firesprite Games, as we first reported at the start of last year. Publicly,though, it's now to the high seas for Lucid Games.

At least they are keeping busy. A game studio that sits still is a studio that goes broke very quickly.
Destruction AllStars was a big flop so reckon Sony cut all ties with them. As at one point I thought that Sony was going to buy them. Seems that you only get one shot with Sony they might soon regret it.
Microsoft will probably buy them now if the partnership works out.
Well, I guess that kills the rumor that they were making Twisted Metal.
Anyone making Twisted Metal is a recipe for disaster. I called Destruction All Stars imploding after 5 minutes, my next Nostradamus prediction is that Twisted Metal is doomed if it launches at all.
I think this is a studio PlayStation is better off without.
I know a bunch of people were defending destruction all-stars. Personally I thought the idea was terrible and the implementation, even worse.
I haven't played sea of thieves, forgot it was even a thing. Is it any good?
@OmegaStriver latest rumors actually was that they were taken off Twisted Metal after Destruction flopped, and were replaced by Firespirite. So, its still assumed in development...
@themcnoisy I played it for a while with friends when the Pirates of the Caribbean expansion came out. We all had a good time. It's one of the more unique multiplayer games out there IMO.
Let's be honest here - Destruction AllStars was utter pants.
@Cyberpsycho "Seems that you only get one shot with Sony they might soon regret it."
Wait Sony will regret it? 😅 Lucid Games would be lucky to only be considered a mediocre studio. I wish them success where ever they end up which hopefully won't be as a Sony studio.
@Cyberpsycho when they were taken off of twisted metal it was reported Sony put them on another vehicular game , so I expected that to be announced in the next year, I guess not any more... Well good luck to them, if they do well enough I could see Microsoft picking them up, like they did with playground games before.
@nessisonett so who’s making it ? they’re making another one whoever they are
studios like this show they are a capable studio just not on the ideas front. remasters remakes and working on other peoples IP is ideal for them
@nomither6 Firesprite. Basically nothing worthwhile to their name so far, but they were formed from Psygnosis who made some great games back in the day. Who knows how many of the staff are the same though, and even then, the industry’s totally different now.
@nessisonett oh ok , that sounds good to me , they seem better than 989studios , those devs were notoriously known for making some awful twisted metals and it’s been uphill ever since
Playstation fanboys gonna be on Twitter calling them traitors and making threats
@nessisonett a good prediction. the genre is 6 feet under and no amount of nostalgia will revive it.
@themcnoisy @RBMango Sea of Thieves is definitely on my bucket list to try out one of these days.
@RBMango thank you, will give it a whirl later in the week.
