Crystal Raiders
2024 kicked off with the Crystal Raiders update:
- This overhauled Guild Warfare in Albion
- Added Territory Raiding, allowing guilds to steal Siphoned Energy from their rivals
- This gave more options to smaller guilds, and added tactical depth to seasons
- The first Crystal Weapons were introduced
- The Conquerors Challenge was revamped
- Players can earn valuable personal and guild rewards from a wide range of activities
Foundations
Improvements to guild warfare continued with Albions second update of the year, Foundations:
- Guilds can upgrade Fortifications in their territories, making them tougher to raid
- Attackers can use Siege Banners to attack these Fortifications
- Territory Activity Chests reward active guilds, but provide a further incentive to attackers
- In the future, Fortification gameplay may be developed further with new siege possibilities, and options for less advanced players
Paths to Glory
Paths to Glory introduced a new achievement system: the Albion Journal:
- This serves two main functions:
- Guides new players through features, and encourages older players to try new activities
- Provides tangible goals for each feature of the game
- Unique vanity items reward progress
- These are non-tradable, so act as a genuine mark of achievement
This update also overhauled the Roads of Avalon:
- Activities and rewards were rebalanced
- New activities were added, like Tracking
- As a result, activity in the Roads has increased significantly
Horizons
The last update of 2024 was Horizons, which focused on revitalizing the open world:
- New points of interest were added
- These include Dynamic Encampments, Boss Lairs, Dynamic Resource Hotspots and new Crystal Creatures
- Higher-tier mobs were made more challenging, but more rewarding
- In the Outlands, rewards increase the deeper you go
- S.A.F.E. Portals transport solo players to random locations in the Outlands
Horizons also brought many more significant improvements, like the HUD Editor, Tier 6 Yellow Zones, and two further Albion Journal categories.
Looking Ahead
The next update is currently in production, bringing with it:
- Further exciting additions to the Outlands, such as:
- New small-scale objectives
- New areas for non-guild players to base themselves
- New trade opportunities
- New Crystal Weapons
- New Albion Journal features

2025 will see other significant developments and changes, for example:
- Measures will be taken to stabilize the Gold market and address high Gold prices

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.
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.
