Albion Online News

Season 23 is underway, with Albion’s guilds building up their Fortifications, raising Siege Banners, and unlocking valuable Territory Activity Chests. And this weekend the action ramps up on Albion Asia and Americas, with an Invasion Day!

We’ll be broadcasting the action from both servers live on AlbionTV for you. At 13:50 UTC on Saturday 18 May, join Robinhoodrs, Shozen, and Bogul for the action on Albion Asia. Then, at 00:50 UTC on May 19, Robinhoodrs, Shozen, and Tazzik will bring you coverage of Albion Americas. So tune in this weekend to see some fierce fighting!

For full season schedules, see this forum post.

Albion Europe opened its doors to the world on April 29, and tens of thousands of players, new and old, have been pouring onto the server, gathering resources, battling fierce (and sometimes defenseless) mobs, and banding together into guilds and alliances. So, we took a look at the numbers behind the new server to see exactly what’s been going on since launch and put them together in this shiny new infographic (click to expand):



As you can see, the new server is absolutely teeming with life and we’re thrilled to see so many of you building up this unique world. So thanks again to everyone who’s made this such an exciting development, and we’ll see you out in the wilds of Albion Europe!

Since the launch of Albion Europe on April 29, player numbers in Albion have been soaring. And on May 1, the game passed a new milestone with 350,000 daily active users!



(Note: for the purposes of this chart, "users" refers to active accounts.)

The previous record across all platforms of 300,000 daily active users came following the launch of Albion Asia in April 2023, but this has now been broken by more than 50,000. This makes the launch of the new server one of the most momentous events in the game’s history, with Albion Europe alone accounting for over 150,000 players daily. On Steam, too, a new peak player count record was set, with over 27,000 concurrent players across all servers.

Albion is now flourishing more than ever across the globe, with new players, experienced players, and returning players alike bringing the world to life. So thanks to our community’s continued support in making Albion what it is, and here’s to the future!

Every day, intrepid souls are stepping onto Albion’s shores to write their stories in a brand-new world, including on the new Albion Europe server. But every story needs its chroniclers, and among these adventurers are six brave bards. Yes, it’s none other than masters of power metal Dragony!

Dragony honored us by creating a brand-new song inspired by Albion Online. “The Untold Story” captures perfectly the spirit of possibility and adventure that lies at the heart of the game, and the accompanying music video does the same. Check it out here:

The band said:

“We’re no strangers to video games, and we've taken inspiration for quite a few of our songs from some of our favorite games over the years!

Then last year something extraordinary happened, and the fine people from Sandbox Interactive approached us with the idea of writing an original song for the game - an offer we of course had to accept!

It's been an absolute pleasure working with the people of Albion Online to create a song that captures the spirit of adventure and the freedom to write your own story that is the core of the gameplay of Albion Online, and we hope you enjoy the song - and the game - as much as we do!”

Indeed we do, Dragony. So take inspiration from “The Untold Story” and create your own tale in Albion now, wherever you play!

We’re also excited to say that Siegfried and Christoph from Dragony will be joining us for a live chat with the AlbionTV crew to discuss the song, the video, and their love of games. So tune in at 19:20 UTC on May 3 and learn more about the inspiration behind this tale of adventure!
