The development team at Rare have banded together to create a homage to legendary guitarist Eddie Van Halen, who died earlier this week at the age of 65.
In a touching tribute to the rockstar, the Sea of Thieves team recorded and released a pirate-y version of “Jump” and set it to a beautiful movie that shows the sun rising and setting. It features all the instruments you can play in-game (thanks, GamesRadar+).
“A tribute in our current Sea of Thieves style to a man whose talent and fun-loving spirit has had a huge influence on many members of the Rare family past and present, and will undoubtedly continue to do so. #RIPEddie,” said a message accompanying the video.
