With Rare's Sea of Thieves getting a steady stream of updates and content since its launch earlier this year - many have been waiting for the upcoming Forsaken Shores updates originally due for release this week. Mainly because it introduces a new volcanic region to explore and new ways to play. Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer as Rare need some extra time to polish the expansion.

Not long though as the delay is only a week, with Forsaken Shores now launching Thursday September 27 - as per this post which notes.

This was not a decision that was taken lightly, and we know this may disappoint fans who were looking to play the update this week. That said, our priority is to deliver a stable, polished and bug-free experience and we feel that the extra week of development will enable us to do this.

In the meantime why not watch the teaser trailer released last week which, well, looks impressive to say the least. And not just because it confirms the long-awaited addition of row boats to the game.
