The Albion East Closed Beta starts February 20. In addition to a fresh version of Albion's game world and unique rewards, the beta gives the forthcoming Arcanist Wardrobe and Mount Skin Bundle free to all characters on your account, before its official release!

This bundle not only makes you stand out during beta, but can be used on Albion West immediately and Albion East after launch - so you can stand out on both servers.

With its vivid colors that evoke the Mists, the Arcanist bundle transforms you and your Direboar into mystical warriors. This premiere bundle includes the following wardrobe and mount skin items:

• Arcanist's Helmet
  
• Arcanist's Armor
  
• Arcanist's Boots

Hi all,

The Lands Awakened update, launching on November 24, brings two new overlay options for the world map, which can be applied via the dropdown menu at the upper right:

- An overlay showing relative Resource Value of each zone, for the resource and tier selected
- An overlay showing relative Silver Value of the mobs in each zone

Since these overlays are based on a zone's relative value, they require several days' worth of data to display meaningful results. Therefore, in order to calibrate these overlays, they will not be available immediately with the Lands Awakened launch, and will be activated several days later.


We expect this to take place within at most 7 days of the launch (1 December at the latest), and hope... Read more

Hey everyone!


The official launch of the Albion East Server is coming up soon and with it a start into a new and untouched world.

Now, to make this start a smooth and exciting experience for everyone, we are taking a couple of precautionary measures to make sure everyone has a good gameplay experience.


First of all, we will adjust the world size at the start to match the pace of the players moving into the world.

Secondly, territory prime times for Albion East will be different from those on Albion West to focus more on the time zones of the players living in the Asian and Oceanic regions.

We anticipate Albion East to grow over time, just as Albion West did back when the game first launched.

The speed of this process will be hard to predict, so we’re trying to strike a balance that leaves enough room for growth while at the same time ensuring space is limited enough for players to compete over.

The new Albion East server will open to everyone on March 20. And you can get up to five days early access if you purchase an Albion East Founder Pack. The new server will offer a fully untouched version of the world, and those who arrive first will have a head start on gathering, crafting, and developing their characters.



The gameworld will be somewhat smaller than Albion West at first, in order to maintain a healthy competition for territory and resources. But as player numbers grow and characters develop, the world will expand accordingly. See ... Read more

Hotfix 4.31 was a server-side hotfix that only affected Beta players: [21. February 2023] Beyond the Veil Hotfix 4.31 (Beta server)

Beyond the Veil Patch 5 - Ver. 22.050.1 - March 6, 2023

New Twitch Drops

This patch expands our available Twitch Drop rewards, with 19 new wardrobe skins and 2 new mount skins. These can now appear in all Community Chests and be purchased at the Vanity Merchant.

Crystal League and Crystal Arena

Crystal League match rules are changing next season. Runestones now score less frequently, but successfully scored Runestones reset each round. This stops teams from simply getting a Runestone advantage, playing defensively, and winning over time. To make up for longer scoring rounds, the point value per rotation is increased so match duration remains roughly the same.

• At the end of each round, all scoring Runestones reset; the team that holds most Runestones at the end of each round loses their Runestones
