Sea of Thieves has added a brand new Banjo-Kazooie inspired figurehead today. It will be available for a limited-time only to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary.
The figurehead can be attached to any ship and costs 1998 in-game coins. It is available until the end of July and can be picked up at any Shipwright Shop at any outposts.
It has been 20 years since the Nintendo 64 game was first released. It followed a cartoon bear and his saltier backpack bird friend as they fought against the witch Gruntilda. It became one of the biggest hits on the system. The last game of the series, Nuts and Bolts, came out nearly a decade ago on the Xbox 360, though fans were let down by the vehicle-centric adventure. Since then, Rare has remained coy on a new Banjo-Kazooie title. The studio has been mainly focused on Sea of Thieves, their biggest game in some time.
This isn’t the bear and bird’s first appearance in Sea of Thieves, however. On one of the islands there exists a secret cave paining of the duo that sometimes leads you to nearby gold and treasure. Be sure to look out for it next time you are on a quest for adventure.
The figurehead is one of many items that has been announced to celebrate the Banjo-Kazooie‘s 20th anniversary. A collectable figure, new shirt and whole Loot Gaming crate were teased by Rare on their website last week.
