Reaffirming our Community Values: www.seaofthieves.com/news/reitera...

We're seeing red. No, it's not the bloodlust setting in, it's just some #FanArtFriday highlights that share a big splash of the shade. From Twitter, the realistic Viva Piñata Sour Mallowolf is by GhosteBoergre while the @seaofthieves.com Madame Olivia piece is from Similyjay.

We're about to saunter off for a three-day weekend, but not before blessing your optic nerves with these #FanArtFriday beauts! From Instagram, the Viva Piñata Pretztail is the work of blackzodiacqx while the @seaofthieves.com duo is the work of both ghastly.demon and megaboatman.

Spotted as we drove onto the @rare.co.uk grounds this morning: strolling geese. Baby geese! POTENTIALLY WARRING FAMILIES OF GEESE! Well, hopefully not, but we've seen less aggressive glares in a boxing ring. Plenty of grass to go around now, no need to get feisty...

Good day fine Internet-scrolling person, please indulge us for a fine #FanArtFriday Twitter duo! Or don't, we're not your legal guardian. We will glare at you as you leave, mind. The Banjo-Kazooie piece is by Mar_Mar_Up and the cursed @seaofthieves.com pirate comes from KyarytaArt!

A tiger and a trio walk into a #FanArtFriday, which is an impressive feat for two pieces of art from Tumblr and a hashtag, but we needed some sort of intro didn't we? The Viva Piñata Tigermisu comes from millies-theme, while the @seaofthieves.com pirate crew is by snypi. GOOD STUFF!

Overheard at Rare: "I'd love to be a landlord. Let me in, I'm going to paint over your sockets!"

#FanArtFriday's here again bringing the colours, you just need to bring the exuberant praise! Preferably over on Instagram, where these came from. Go and big up the Battletoads piece on jcpxdesigns's page and angle Sea of Thieves sweetness towards maria_ronold_artwork. Thanks!

It may be Community Weekend in @seaofthieves.com, but right here it's time for a good old #FanArtFriday. A pair from Twitter/X this week, with the extremely characterful Banjo and Kazooie from DanDarkOne and a somewhat scary pirate from those aforementioned waters by ZoranDaemon.

Season 19 Community Weekend is now live on High Seas until March 30th (10am UTC)! Set sail for your free flag and Arm Wave Emote, set out on a search for sponge, boost the Community Emissary Grade multiplier by watching Sea of Thieves on Twitch and more! 🧵

Overheard at Rare: "The gentrification of jacket potatoes makes me so angry."

Our beloved Sea of Thieves is eight, and Instagram's gemmajohnsonart bestowed a beautiful bronze parakeet on us to celebrate! Also getting a #FanArtFriday highlight is Instagram's jrlunadesigns with their minimal, but still-intimidating, Fulgore from Killer Instinct. LOVELY.

We first encouraged people to set sail into our silly adventure-filled pirate sandbox @seaofthieves.com eight whole years ago, and we celebrated that this week with CAKE! And NOTEBOOKS! Both were delicious. A sincere thank you to everyone who's ever played in the past 2920 days 💙💛

It was Conker's Bad Fur Day's 25th anniversary last week, and to mark the occasion @robinbeanland.com, the original composer of that bawdy ordeal, has whipped up a remix of its iconic club music! 'Rock Solid Revitalised' is available now on a bunch of music platforms. Marvellous.

Here comes #FanArtFriday, swanning in like it owns the place. And it's brought two works of art from Tumblr with it and all; Hanging-Bottle's @seaofthieves.com Gold Hoarder stunner and Gamepal's stylish Vela, of Jet Force Gemini fame. The absolute audacity of this hashtag, come on.

Want to carry 14 @rare.co.uk games in your pocket, but lack the spacious leg wallets of a '90s skater? Enter: The HyperMegaTech Super Pocket Rare Edition! 14 classic Rare titles built-in, Banjo-Kazooie optimised to work on a D-Pad, plays @evercade.co.uk carts, available in June.

Hello! How was your day? You may have answered but this is a non-sentient social media post so... Shall we just get on with it? Yeah. #FanArtFriday! Instagram duo again, with a cranky-looking Conker by Sleepyrr4_ and a @seaofthieves.com pirate with devious eyes from naiamonde.

Overheard at Rare: "That's the topic of this meeting now. Existential dread and mortgage rates."

February has arrived, and with it comes Ashen Garrisons, Gold & Glory, Emporium bargains, Twitch Drops and more! Don't believe us? How dare you, we've got words here explaining This Month in Sea of Thieves and everything: https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/this-month-february-2026

It's morphin' time! No wait, it's #FanArtFriday time! We often get those confused. What's not confusing is how good these beauts are! Look at the Battletoads new and old from @mostlyghostly.bsky.social and the super-detailed @seaofthieves.com scoundrel from @shivawalkerart.bsky.social LOOK AT THEM!

As we trudge to the end of the seventh week of the month, we offer you a pair of exquisite Instagram #FanArtFriday delights to help take your mind off the temporal anomaly known as January. The Viva Piñata piece comes from avocobbo, while the very junior Reaper is by colourmefun.

Our chums at @fangamer.com have been at it again, coming up with a pair of handsome Banjo-Kazooie tributes in pin and blanket form. That's right, a full-on blanket! With the swishy fringe and everything. Proper fancy. Go look: fanga.me/r/new-bk

Overheard at Rare: "Children yearn for the dolphin."

Cozy enough to get you to Project Dream on a lazy afternoon. Banjo-Kazooie blankets are here, plus a new moving pin! www.fangamer.com/collections/...

We lowered the sails on the S.S. #FanArtFriday once more, and the first heading for 2026 took us to Instagram where we found Viva Piñata's Leafos by artsyicey and a moody @seaofthieves.com number from maria_ronold_artwork! That'll do nicely, have a good weekend.

Overheard at Rare: "No-one likes you and you've got three lasagnas in your freezer."

If, like us, you find yourself hurtling directly into 2026 as if it's a rock in open waters, we offer some words to help you chart a smooth course through January. Season 18: Act 2, new music, Season 18 Community Weekend and more, here: https://www.seaofthieves.com/news/this-month-january-2026

The festive season has truly arrived at the @rare.co.uk studio with the usual oversized tree (where gifts for @trusselluk.bsky.social are being amassed), seasonal grub and a visit from the actual Mr. Grinch man himself. Who shouted at us. A lot. 10/10 day.

More fan efforts highlighted today in the form of a classic #FanArtFriday post. You look every week, right? RIGHT? This pair is straight from Instagram, with the blown-glass Conker pendant from mar.ina.glass and the serene @seaofthieves.com scene by gabriel_martinache.

One last launch during our Black Friday sale: @rare.co.uk 40th Anniversary rereleases, including the varsity hoodie, plus a special pin! You can still get free or discounted shipping if you order today: www.fangamer.com/collections/...

Currently lamenting the absence of free noodles in November with a little #FanArtFriday distraction. Two from Twitter/X this week, with some @seaofthieves.com paintings from BAM_BaLam_Media and an outrageously cute depiction of blue-haired bug-slaughterer Vela by SafeTortilla.

Kameo: Elements of Power and Perfect Dark Zero both celebrate their 20th anniversary today! Well, they're not actually celebrating, they're merely data and incapable of expressing emotion, but you and us? We can celebrate. To all the pummelled Trolls and Infection mode brawls!

The UK's temperature might be changing more than a chameleon in a disco, but one thing remains constant: us showcasing delightful doodles for #FanArtFriday! Instagram duo this week: award-winning Banjo-Kazooie piece by emvkoopa and stunning @seaofthieves.com sketch by mahogany_owl_.

While today marks Banjo-Tooie's 24-year, seven-month-and-eight-day anniversary in the EU, it's also the 25th anniversary of this second helping of bear and bird landing in America! Please use this post to reminisce over its connected worlds, new abilities and murder of Bottles.

We've been asked to tell you that @fangamer.com has cheap or free shipping between now and December 1st for Black Friday reasons, and that they have a bunch of Banjo-Kazooie merch available. This is us fulfilling that ask like the good employees we are. Stuff: fanga.me/r/bk-bf2025

Grab your comically small sticks if you need them and get those eyes nice and wide, it's time for your weekly dose of #FanArtFriday! A Twitter duo for you to appreciate this week, with a chipper Conker and Berri by Muggy_art and a @seaofthieves.com sketch from JaesunX. ENJOY NOW:

It's Tumblr time! No, we're not throwing any devs down a hill (yet), it's just one of those #FanArtFriday posts where the community creativity comes from that there Tumblr. Fiery @seaofthieves.com scene is from dummymegan while the Tooie tribute is by Yin88808. Till the next one.

For the first time EVER, we’re reissuing three Rare Ltd. (in both senses of the words!) records: -Battletoads Vinyl Soundtrack -Banjo-Kazooie 2xLP -Conker’s Bad Fur Day 2xLP Plus: An all-new SHANTIES OF THE SEA OF THIEVES record! https://bit.ly/rare-bf

It's Halloween, so we made you this art of some certified @rare.co.uk Spooky Boys doing the one thing that's enjoyed by all custodians of damned souls: friendly competition via a popular family board game. Enjoy your own creepy celebrations, whatever they are!

We've had a glorious day hosting the @sotfest.uk crew at Rare HQ today, learning more about their plans for #SoTFest26 and giving them a peek behind the curtain of how we make our magic! It was a productive day with lots of discussion, shenanigans and cake. Our favourite kind of day.

Still no closer to solving the noodle situation, but we've got a pair of pics from Instagram for the #FanArtFriday one: a Sour Mallowolf from Viva Piñata by louci4art and a serene @seaofthieves.com scene from portfoliodabea. Right, kettle's on. These pots won't eat themselves...

Inexplicably, our Social Media Lead has received noodles. Not just one box, but three over two months. He doesn't recall signing up for them, so why have these pots appeared with seemingly no ulterior motive? No Sea of Thieves requests or remake demands in sight. Itsu mystery...

Roll up, roll up for some fabulous #FanArtFriday finery! Two from Twitter today, with the seasonal Banjo gourd by ArtsyDarC and the moody looking @seaofthieves.com pirate from Bonsgamer0504. And now you can roll down because we need dinner. Buh-bye!
