It's been just over two weeks since the massive public launch of Albion East, which shattered Albion's all-time concurrent player record as it introduced an untouched version of the game world for the first time since launch. To celebrate this tremendous milestone in Albion's history, we've put together this infographic with some of the major (and less major) stats from the new server!

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to those starting out in Albion East, and are enjoying seeing a new version of Albion take shape. New players can look fo... Read more

While 2021 may not have brought quite the same level of unprecedented upheavals as 2020, it was nonetheless a year of various challenges. For the Albion Online team, it meant another year of developing the game in an almost entirely remote capacity, during which it saw two massive content updates, the long-anticipated mobile launch, and exploding player numbers. Throughout it all, the Albion community was as supportive as ever, and with the continued engagement of veteran players, combined with ever-increasing new player numbers, the game had its biggest year yet.

This is the first of our Basic Builds series of guides for beginner-to-intermediate players. Each guide presents a suggested build and describes how its abilities work in tandem. You can try these out as-is, or use them as a starting point to create new builds of your own.

Characteristics

This build is based around the Battleaxe, which is characterized by a self-sustaining ability called Blood Bandit that lets you throw your axe twice, dealing damage while also healing yourself.

The full build offers additional self-healing, a defensive ability with energy recovery, and additional mobility.

Beyond the Veil Patch 5 - Ver. 22.050.1 - March 7, 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.
5v5 Crystal League & Crystal Arena

• 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
