Albion Online News

A new Guild Season begins this weekend, and the fires of competition are already burning hot. After the shocking developments of Season 27, guilds are regrouping and preparing for battle. But this time, new challengers are stepping into the fray. With glory and recognition on the line, the pressure is on from day one.

Season 28’s opening Invasion Day takes place on July 5, with AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) streaming live coverage of the action from all servers:

• Albion Asia: July 5, 14:00 UTC
• Albion Europe: July 5, 18:00 UTC
• Albion Americas: July 6, 01:00 UTC

And to mark the launch of Abyssal Depths, enjoy double Twitch Drops while watching the carnage unfold.

[h3]New Depths Challenge[/h3]
The Abyssal Depths update introduced a brand-new PvP dungeon known as the Depths. This terrifying new battlefield has its own Conqueror’s Challenge category, and to mark its debut it offers boosted Season Point rewards.



 This is the perfect opportunity for small groups to experience a new PvP mode and support their guild's journey to victory.

[h3]The Crucible Ignites[/h3]
This season stands apart with the arrival of the Crucible: a month-long contest running during the first four weeks of the season. Top creators from across the world have been invited to lead brand-new guilds into battle, earning Challenge and Season Points to compete for epic rewards.



Support your favorite streamers, track the leaderboard, and catch regular AlbionTV coverage to follow the action as it happens.

For the full season schedule, see this forum post. See you on the battlefield!

If you’ve visited the Antiquarian’s Den in Albion, there’s a good chance you’ve met an adorable little creature down there. No, not the Antiquarian, but the Antiquarian’s cute companion – a friendly Baby Soulspinner. Ask what this sidekick is called, though, and you’ll just be met with a shrug. The poor thing doesn’t even have a name!

So it’s time for you, the players, to fix that. Until July 10 we’re running a contest where you get to choose this humble hatchling’s name, with the winning entry visible ingame for all to see! To enter, you need to take a screenshot of your character with the Antiquarian’s Soulspinner, and propose a name for it. For full details, and to take part, see this forum thread.



As well as the opportunity to have your creativity etched into history, there are a bunch of other prizes on offer too – here’s the full list:

• First place: Your chosen name immortalized ingame, and an exclusive Albion Online merch pack
• Second place: The Corrupted Preacher Vanity Bundle and 30 days Premium
• Third place: Either the Corrupted Preacher Vanity Bundle or 30 days Premium

We’re excited to see what you come up with, so get your creative juices flowing and show us what you’ve got. Let’s give this creature the name it deserves!

The Abyssal Depths update is now live, and many of you are diving into the Depths, earning the trust of the Antiquarian, and raising your cute baby Soulspinners into bloodthirsty mounts. And while all this is going on, we’re excited to announce a special, live Q&A with the developers coming soon!

On July 8 at 17:00 UTC, Game Director Moritz Bokelmann and Co-Creative Director Michael Schwahn will be live on AlbionTV (twitch.tv/albiononline) to answer your questions about what goes into designing and deploying an update, the release process, how feedback is incorporated into development, and more.
