Dev Talk: Call to Arms Introduction


We've been hinting at the next major update for Albion Online for some time now... and in our latest Dev Talk, Game Director Robin Henkys finally makes it official! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAZ3D-p1M-8 Prefer a written summary? Then read on...

First Up: Patch 13


The next Balance Patch in early February adjusts combat balance values, adds a new ability for Maces, and updates some combat abilities. These changes address the meta in Corrupted Dungeons, improving the balance of different builds in 1v1 and small-group PvP. In addition, this patch will bring the long awaited Use All buttonfor bags and Tomes, improvements to Avalonian enemies, and limiting the ability to set a "Home" at Hideoutsto those owned by your guild, or Level 3 Hideouts owned by your alliance.

Next Update: Call to Arms


As the Season builds up to its finale, were preparing to release the next big content update for Albion Online: Call to Arms. Public playtesting is expected to begin in mid-February, and in the coming weeks we'll release more Dev Talks. Here's an overview of what this update will bring:

Faction Warfare 2.0


Call to Arms will focus on introducing the next stage of City Faction Warfare, including:
  • Ability to control entire regions
  • A front-line battle system that encourages competing Factions to fight in the same regions
  • Rewards for loyalty to a city, with points for both attacking enemies and defending owned regions
  • Monthly Faction Campaigns with valuable rewards
  • Powerful new Faction Mounts
  • A new Faction offering a unique playstyle for advanced players, including its own Faction cape and mount
Alongside these changes, were expanding the Royal Continent and adding a recurring Faction Warfare event in the center of the continent to encourage high-stakes conflict. In our next Dev Talks, well go in-depth with this system, and explore the opportunities it offers veteran players and beginners alike.

Hellgates Re-Envisioned


The second major gameplay feature in Call to Arms is a massive improvement of Hellgates, including:
  • 10v10 Hellgates for mid-sized PvP at any time
  • Significant improvements to Hellgate graphics and gameplay
  • A large variety of new Hellgate layouts
  • A new and improved matchmaking system
  • A rising lava mechanic to prevent stalling strategies
  • Inclusion of many of the demonic creatures introduced with Corrupted Dungeons
  • A Hellgate Infamy system, allowing players to improve their rewards and measure their success against others
This overhaul of Hellgates aims to address gameplay concerns brought to us by longtime players, as well as open one of Albions most exciting PvP features to more players. We'll have a full Dev Talk on the new Hellgates soon.

Additional Features


Call to Arms will also include a moving-vegetation graphics upgrade to bring plants to life, plus two major convenience improvements: improved Ability Tooltips and Loadouts. The new Tooltips make understanding and comparing different spells and abilities much easier, as all spells will have colored tags and reworked descriptions to improve readability. Loadouts will let players save equipment sets to quick-equip from bank chests and battle vaults. Loadouts can be shared with other players via chat or ingame mail, and made available to guilds to help recruit new players into specific roles. The feature can also be used to strategize about builds via a preview of the stats and estimated cost of a Loadout. Were also working on quick-buy of saved Loadouts, which we hope to release in a patch shortly after the update. We'll explore all these features in-depth in more Dev Talks over the coming weeks, so stay tuned!

  • Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world. The game features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted. Combine armor pieces and weapons suited to your playstyle in a unique, classless "you are what you wear" system. Explore the world, take on other adventurers in thrilling battles, conquer territories, and build a home.



    Craft. Trade. Conquer.
    Dive in now and become part of a living fantasy world where everybody matters.

    Key Features



    From basic tools and clothes to mighty armors and powerful weapons – nearly every item in the game is crafted by players, in player-constructed buildings, from resources gathered by players. Buy, sell, and trade with other players at local marketplaces all across the world of Albion. Craft rare and powerful items, then sell them to the highest bidder and grow your fortune.



    In Albion Online's classless combat system, you are what you wear. The weapons and armor you use define your skills, and switching playstyles is as easy as switching gear. Test out new equipment anytime and change up your weapons, armor, and mounts to suit any situation. Hone your character’s skills by crafting new items, or by simply using your favorite equipment.



    From solo to small-group to large-scale battles, you'll need strategy, tactics, and skill to prevail. Test yourself against other adventurers in high-risk, high-reward full-loot fights. Level your combat specializations, create unique builds with complementary skills, and use every tool at your disposal to emerge victorious.



    Join a guild and carve out your own piece of Albion in massive open-world battles. Claim territories for access to incredible resources, construct guild halls, and conquer entire cities to levy taxes and grow your wealth. Build a Hideout to give your guild a powerful home base deep in dangerous lands. Lead your guild to victory in the Crystal League, and track your progress against other guilds worldwide on a constantly-updated seasonal leaderboard.



    Claim a city plot or private island and make it your own. Grow crops to sell or craft into food, raise your own livestock and mounts, and place crafting stations for other players to use for a fee. Stock your house with custom furniture and trophies, build chests to store your growing collection of loot, and hire laborers to keep everything at your homestead running smoothly.



    From small scouting bands to massive bosses, from dungeons to full-blown faction bases, the inhabitants of Albion’s open world await your challenge. Take on six different factions, each with different enemies that require unique strategies. Partake in solo or group Expeditions, or seek out the ultimate thrill by facing demons and other players alike in Hellgates and Corrupted Dungeons.



    Explore five beautiful biomes, each with its own challenges. Gather valuable raw materials for crafting, or cast a line into Albion's waters to catch rare and valuable fish. Seek out randomly generated solo and group dungeons and slay powerful foes for valuable loot. Enter the mystical Roads of Avalon to discover ever-changing paths between distant zones, face off against long-dormant foes, and build your own Hideout in this vast and ancient land.



    Albion Online is a true cross-platform MMO experience. Whether you prefer Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Android or iOS (mobile currently in beta), one account lets you play on all platforms, with all players on a single shared server. Forge alliances with other players worldwide and take part in massive battles to determine the fate of Albion.
