Rare’s beloved mascots Banjo and Kazooie celebrate their 20th anniversary this year, and to commemorate the occasion the developer has added a little tribute to them in its latest game, Sea of Thieves.
Alongside patch 1.1.5, players will be able to purchase a special Banjo-Kazooie themed figurehead. The “Bear & Bird Figurehead,” as it is being called, will be available for 1998 gold, an appropriate price and homage to the game’s launch. This figurehead will only be available for a limited-time and can be purchased during the month of July, so act fast if you want to grab it.
You can read the rest of the patch notes below.
