Albion Online News

Season 31 is entering dangerous territory. Rivalries have reignited, old grudges are resurfacing, and a new mid-season Energy Storage payout is about to test a faster, more explosive season format. This Invasion Day will show how that new pacing plays out under pressure.

Here’s where things stand as the mid-season reset draws near:

• Albion Europe: A massive war broke out in Albion Europe. With two season victories already secured, the STORM alliance entered Season 31 aiming for a third. The same guilds continue their long-running war under shifting alliance tags, and this time Skoggangr stepped up to push for first place, now fighting alongside Contingent after their dramatic mid-war flip in Season 30. But STORM looked vulnerable. Take Care stepped back, Contingent downsized, and Kingtrixel united Woof Woof with EQMS, Clean Kill, Sevran, Scourge of GOD and others under the 93 Alliance banner. They stormed the inner ring early, outnumbering STORM and forcing brutal fights that lasted several timers.
  Territories fell. Hideouts were raided. Skoggangr lost a level 3 Hideout in Razorrock Valley and nearly another in Sunfang Cliffs. Then came the turning point. On the final shield, STORM held. Over the next days they stabilized, regained 20 UTC territories, destroyed a Woof Woof Hideout, and began to snowball wins. With Sevran folding last week, the war officially ended. Across all sides, nearly 35,000 players died. With an average ZvZ set worth 3 million Silver, that’s roughly 105 billion Silver in lost gear. And we’re not even halfway through the season!
• Albion Americas: With ‘King’ Daliuess returning to lead IFures once more, the server has entered a calmer phase after Season 30’s chaos. Although we’ve seen pockets of action here and there in the inner ring, IFures now stand largely uncontested at the top. They’re on track to secure their fourth season victory, a feat achieved by only one other guild in Albion’s history. If they continue this momentum in future seasons, a fifth gem could follow. For now, the question isn’t who leads the standings – it’s whether anyone can still rise to challenge them.
• Albion Asia: Season 31 began with Maharlika declaring they would take the top spot after last season’s heartbreak, when their second-place finish was sniped at the last moment. Surely it can’t happen again, right? For weeks, they looked uncontested. Then Summers, the Season 30 winners, launched an aggressive push, raiding and conquering Maharlika territories throughout the day. The gap is now under 90,000 Season Points. With the first-ever mid-season payout arriving this Invasion Day, the race is suddenly very real.

Invasion Day is always volatile, but this one carries extra weight. The double-scoring phase begins as a newly introduced mid-season Energy Storage payout awards Season Points to the first guild that conquers a territory after reset. Tune in to twitch.tv/albiononline to see who reacts fastest and who can capitalize on the chaos:

• Albion Asia: February 28, 14:00 UTC
• Albion Europe: February 28, 18:00 UTC
• Albion Americas: March 1, 01:00 UTC

This is where momentum shifts. See you on the battlefield!

AlbionTV continues its interview series introducing the Realm Divided AOCP Ambassadors, and this time we’re heading to the seaside. SummerSeaChels famously brings high-energy laughter and spontaneous singing to Albion’s mayhem. Join us on twitch.tv/albiononline on February 27 at 20 UTC for a live interview and meet the naturally caffeinated VTuber proving that Albion can just be unfiltered fun.

• Main Focus: Exploration / Casual Gameplay

For SummerSeaChels, Albion has always been about fun. Not the pressure to optimize every build or chase the most Silver per hour, but the freedom to log in, see what’s happening, and decide what sounds exciting that day. Some days that’s instanced PvP, other days it’s jumping into a blob fight just to see what kind of chaos unfolds. Summer understands that life gets busy, and sometimes we just want to unwind without turning Albion into a second job.

What defines her streams most is that she invites viewers to learn alongside her in an experimental, relaxed way. She loves asking chat for ideas and trying things out on the fly. Right now, she’s on a slow and steady journey deeper into PvP, exploring what works and what doesn’t together with her community. And the best part is that she sometimes wins those fights while laughing the entire time. It’s a little chaotic, yes, but that’s exactly how she likes it.

Her community knows her for that hyperactive energy. She’ll burst into song mid-battle, laugh through near-death moments, and occasionally lose focus in the most entertaining way possible. But underneath the chaos is something important: she creates a space where mistakes are allowed, where trying new things is encouraged, and where no one feels silly for not knowing everything yet.

As an Ambassador, Summer wants to double down on that feeling. Albion’s scale still amazes her, especially when hundreds of players collide in a single battle, and that sense of “anything can happen” is what keeps her coming back. But that same scale can feel overwhelming at first, with endless builds, systems, and content types. So she wants to be the bridge that makes it feel manageable. Through relaxed streams, community learning, and consistent updates for players returning from breaks, her goal is to make Albion feel like a place you can explore without pressure. For her, the beauty of the sandbox is simple: experiment, fail, laugh, and slowly find your own style.

If you’ve ever felt like Albion looked exciting but a little intimidating, SummerSeaChels might be your perfect entry point. Or maybe you just want to hear someone laugh hysterically because a random mob knocked her out before she could loot. Either way, tune in to her live interview this Friday at 20 UTC on AlbionTV for a chance to win the Mage Adventurer vanity bundle and join one of Albion’s most joyfully chaotic communities.

[h3]The Banners of War[/h3]
Realm Divided Part II introduces new carriable objectives in the form of Faction Battle Standards – moving flashpoints for combat that offer rewards to whoever can carry them safely home. Appearing in active Faction Warfare areas, Battle Standards increase in value the more action they see. But the more valuable they become, the more covetable they are – and if a rival Faction manages to take one off your hands and ferry it home, they’ll be the ones to profit.



Faction Battle Standards reward spontaneity, strategy, and teamwork. Grab your chance and write a legendary tale under your Faction’s crest.

[h3]The Bandits Return[/h3]
The Bandit Assault steps into a new era as a fierce, multi-faction battle encompassing all areas of Faction Warfare. It begins as a frantic race for Supplies, with all Factions rushing into the red zones to clear Faction Camps, open Chests, and conquer Outposts. As it develops, the action becomes even more concentrated, as attention turns to just two Provinces. At the heart of their Fortresses lie highly valuable chests, offering their riches to whichever Faction can break in – or keep their rivals out.



The Bandit Assault offers every Faction the opportunity to earn masses of loot and Faction Points. Act fast, band together, and rush into the red zones to claim the spoils of war.

With Realm Divided Part II, Faction Warfare just got even more intense. Read the full patchnotes here, and seize these new opportunities in the battle for dominance.
