Hii everyone!

Thank you for clicking on my post!
I am happy to announce that today, on the 1 year anniversary of Nesnes as your Community Manager, I will be joining the Community Manager team!

A little about me:
My passion for games has started from a young age with games such as Pokemon. As I grew up, I began playing shooters and MMORPGs such as Albion Online!
During my time playing Albion Online, I found myself interested in the PvP features that the game offers.
Additionally, in my free time I enjoy digital art, going to the gym, and of course playing games!

What will I bring to the table?
We, at SBI know that there is still a lot of work to do to create a better player experience for you, the community.
In the upcoming months, I will be working closely together with Nesnes to improve your experience as a player.
I hope to create a better environment and experience for all.

As Albion heads into the darker part of the year, one force stands against the shadows, bringing an aura of brightness to all who cast eyes upon it. In a land of danger, beset by demons and fire, there are those who cast light into the darkest corners and offer hope to their allies. Will you heed the call and become a force of good, standing against evil?

Spread the light with a new vanity set for all your characters, coming next week!

Albion's sixteenth Guild Season kicked off June 11, with big changes to Castles and Castle Outposts, a new Crystal League mode, and Might Level adjustments. And now that the dust has settled, a decisive winner has emerged in Sex and Flex. Congrats to them, as well as to second- and third-place winners War Gods and Hood and Scythe!

Hey everyone!

Nice to meet you guys, I’m yet another new Community Manager. Yes, the CM team has quite the number of new recruits!

My goal is to improve clarity in our public communication. So you would get more information, more fun activities, more news, and other exciting and engaging stuff throughout our channels.

A little about me: I’m a lifetime gamer, started playing PC games earlier than I learned how to walk properly (Can’t say I had a very thoughtful gaming experience as a toddler, but still was extremely engaged). I played countless different MMORPGs, some of them you probably never even heard of.

I like everything related to digital art in any form or structure. So if you’re the imaginative sort and have some Albion-related creations that you're willing to share - I would love to see them! ... Read more

We’re excited to announce that in the coming weeks Albion Online will be launched in two new languages: Italian and Japanese! Players will be able to log in and play the game entirely in these two languages with both existing and new characters, and will also have access to language-specific in-game chat channels and dedicated subforums.

With this expansion, we hope to encourage even more players to enter the world of Albion, as well as bringing an improved gaming experience for our existing Japanese- and Italian-speaking players. Very soon our website will also be available in these languages, with all articles and patchnotes translated to keep you up to date.

We can’t wait to see Albion become an even more vibrant world with this development, so s... Read more

Hello everyone!


There is currently a problem with our launcher that we are actively working to resolve.

For now, you can't start the game through the launcher, however, you can start it through the launch_albion_online.exe

How do you find that file?

Go to your file explorer and your local disc -> Program Files (x86) -> AlbionOnline -> game -> launch_albion_online.exe

make sure you are using the launch_ exe and not the Albion-Online.exe

We are sorry for the inconvenience and will update you as soon as there is more news!
