Destruction AllStars studio Lucid Games is working with Rare on Sea of Thieves
The developer is also currently supporting development of a number of EA games
Destruction AllStars studio Lucid Games has announced that it’s working with Rare as a support studio on Sea of Thieves.
The independent Liverpool-based developer confirmed it had teamed up with Xbox’s Rare in an update on its website and social media channles.
“It’s been incredible supporting them on their thrilling pirate adventure & we can’t wait to see where this legendary voyage will take us,” it said.
Lucid Games was formed in 2011 by senior management and ex-staff from Bizarre Creations after parent company Activision closed the Project Gotham Racing, Geometry Wars and Blur studio.
Among other titles, Lucid developed 2014’s Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions and 2021’s poorly received vehicular combat title Destruction AllStars.
According to its website, Lucid is also currently supporting development of Respawn’s hit battle royale game Apex Legends as well as the upcoming EA Sports PGA Tour.
The studio was initially given development duties on Sony’s Twisted Metal video game reboot, but the unannounced project was later moved to PlayStation’s Firesprite studio.

Destruction AllStars was originally planned as a full-price PS5 launch game until Sony delayed its release and announced it would be free for PlayStation Plus members for two months before being sold for $20.
Despite its PS Plus launch, the title struggled to find an audience and Lucid even added AI-controlled drivers to the game to help players find matches when there weren’t enough opponents online.
