Rare announces 30-game collection with Banjo-Kazooie and more, Sea of Thieves pirate game

Microsoft is bringing back the good name of developer Rare in a big way, with a brand new game and a collection exploring the studio’s past.

Microsoft announced the Rare Replay collection at its E3 press conference, which promises to bring together 30 games from Rare’s history in one package on the Xbox One for only $30. The package will be available on Aug. 4, 2015.

The list includes Banjo-Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Perfect Dark, Jet Force Gemini, and many more.

Rare and Microsoft also debuted a new game called Sea of Thieves that looks to let players live out their pirate fantasies like no Pirates of the Caribbean game quite could. Little else was said about the game, but the trailer offers a look at some of the gameplay possibilities and nautical locales players will explore.
