Clear Your Decks! Sea of Thieves is Getting a 3xLP Soundtrack
Iam8bit’s collection includes gorgeous art, a 24-page storybook, and pop-up surprises
LOS ANGELES — June 3, 2021 — iam8bit and Rare are pleased to announce that Sea of Thieves is getting a soundtrack that even the most discriminating scallywags will treasure. The triple-LP collection includes a vast array of nautical tunes, capped off with a special 24-page illustrated storybook — and pre-orders start today on iam8bit.com.
Sea of Thieves players know that the pirate’s life can be a lonesome one. Even when you’re crammed in with several of your closest co-conspirators, there are long stretches where music is the only thing that keeps a crew together. Sea of Thieves‘ audio has been a standout component to Rare’s pirate-themed adventure, from interactive jam sessions to a score that beautifully underscores the majesty — and dangers — of the seafaring life.
Robin Beanland, Sea of Thieves‘ composer and the maestro behind many Rare classics including Jet Force Gemini, Killer Instinct, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day delivered an impressively diverse audio score that goes far beyond the expected sea shanties. His evocative work captures the hull-splintering terror of naval combat, the wonder of setting foot on an unexplored island, and — fine — a sea shanty or two. The Sea of Thieves soundtrack is iam8bit’s fitting tribute to an incredible collection of music, with cover and album art by Haley Wakefield.
The three-LP collection includes 38 tracks, spanning 125 minutes of music. To help you get into the pirate’s frame of mind, the collection’s hardcover book jacket opens to reveal a special 24-page bound-in storybook. “Merry” Merrick shares some of his tall tales from a life at sea, supported by nautical illustrations by Vivian Shih. Liner notes include shanty lyrics, in case you feel compelled to belt out a few tunes with confidence. Finally, the center labels on each disc include innovative pop-up papercraft art, which lends a three-dimensional effect in the form of tiny ships, dancing people, and other whimsical Sea of Thieves references. It’s an essential item for superfans of Sea of Thieves, adventure, or just great vinyl.
The Sea of Thieves vinyl soundtrack is available for pre-order from iam8bit starting today. The collection is priced at $99.99 and is estimated to ship Q3 2021.

Side Scrolling Strategy Game Out Today on Windows PC
June 3rd, 2021 — Pixeye Games is excited to announce its base defense strategy game Until We Die is now available on Steam for $16.99!
Until We Die is a post-apocalyptic strategy game where the remaining survivors find refuge in the Moscow Underground after a global disaster. Command wards to gather supplies and turn an abandoned station into an impregnable fortress-colony capable of resisting any threat.
To win, you have to survive for roughly 30 game days, fending off a series of attacks on your base — small packs of creatures at first, but by the end you’ll be up against a sweeping horde of mutants. The game will end in defeat if our hero Ivan dies during the run; or if the power generator (the heart of the base) is destroyed.
Features:
Run around and dispense valuable orders to your subjects that await your commands.
Build fortifications, research technology to secure your base further and defend more effectively.
Send expeditions to the surface.
Attack mutant lairs to secure new land for farms and tents.
Gather supplies from crates and extract food from mushrooms and anything else that looks edible… wasn’t there a meaty-looking rat that just ran down the tracks?
Until We Die is available on Windows PC, with a Nintendo Switch edition in the works for a subsequent release as well. To learn more about Until We Die, visit: http://uwd.pixeye.games/Twitter:@PixeyeHQ Discord: https://discord.pixeye.games/
