The barrier between worlds grows thin, and with it comes the chance to claim one of Albion’s most coveted mounts. Join the Undead Challenge and earn Challenge Points to unlock the Spectral Direboar, a mount wreathed in green mist, feared for its power to vanish from sight. Ride unseen through danger, gather eerie treasures, and let your legend haunt the living before the month ends.

[h3]Live Your Best Afterlife[/h3] SPECTRAL DIREBOAR: This month's Challenge brings back the popular Spectral Direboar, a ghostly mount with a unique spell, Glimpse of the Other Side, which renders you temporarily invisible. Use it to evade your enemies... or to launch a sneak attack!

AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Undead Challenge Avatar Ring, featuring a spooky skull-themed design that will strike fear into the hearts of your foes. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this avatar border for one character, or can be traded to the Vanity Merchant for one Vanity Token.

SEASONAL SPECIALS: All month long, reach weekly goals to unlock Undead Challenge chests. In addition to valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes and Silver, you'll also have a chance to unlock spooky furniture items like the Candelabra, Lantern, and Memorial of the Fallen, as well as rare and valuable Undead Vanity Skins.

[h3]How to participate in the Adventurer's Challenge[/h3]
The Adventurer's Challenge is a monthly event where you can earn exclusive rewards such as mounts, Tomes of Insight, bags of Silver, and more. By gathering, fishing, farming, and defeating monsters, you'll earn Challenge Points that fill daily, weekly, and monthly progress bars. To track your progress, open the Adventurer's Challenge UI by clicking on the Activities menu.



While only Premium players can unlock the Monthly Rewards (Avatar Ring, Mount) and Weekly Rewards (Challenge Chests), anyone can claim the Daily Rewards, which include 10 Learning Points and a Tier 4 Tome of Insight. Non-Premium players also make progress on all reward tracks, so when you’re ready to unlock Premium, your earned rewards will be waiting for you!

The Crucible begins July 5, and sponsored creators and their guilds are getting ready for battle to determine who will be crowned champion. But it’s not just glory they’re fighting for, because the winner will also receive a very special, one-of-a-kind prize: a genuine Galatine Pair, straight from Albion’s forges!

We teamed up with the good people at Man At Arms to create this unique item, based on a Tier 8 version of this damage-dealing double sword. Check out this video to see how it was made, and watch it in action against some frankly blameless tropical fruit:

Yes, that’s a big, powerful pair of swords alright. Follow the Crucible from July 5, and see who gets to take home this incredible prize!

Infernal chasms are opening up! The Abyssal Depths update is here, tearing open ancient vaults beneath the continent and unleashing a new era of peril and power. With demon-filled dungeons, a new hub for PvP mayhem, and fire-forged rewards, this update invites players to descend into the Depths – and face what stirs beneath…

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
[h3]Into the Abyss[/h3]
The Depths offer fast-paced, small-group PvP encounters in a collapsing dungeon, where players earn buffs, loot, and Souls as they push deeper into hellish chambers, and the boldest can unlock great treasures locked beneath. The new Antiquarian’s Den, accessible from every Royal City and Caerleon, acts as a staging ground for these and all other hell-themed instanced PvP modes. Players can build their Antiquarian Standing by defeating others across the Depths, Corrupted Dungeons, and Hellgates, and unlock hell-themed vanity items and two new sinister spider mounts.



[h3]A Smooth Path Forward[/h3]
A new Orange PvP ruleset in the Depths, where players drop only their inventory on death, offers a more forgiving entry into Albion’s PvP. A fully reworked New Player Experience also now guides adventurers through key systems with greater clarity. The new Character Progression category in the Albion Journal offers structured goals from early play into advanced mastery, and a reworked Learning Point system ensures smoother, more intuitive Destiny Board progression.



[h3]Crystals and Clarity[/h3]
Two new Crystal Weapons join the fray: the Truebolt Hammer, which channels raw energy to shield allies and stun foes, and the Stillgaze Staff, whose cobra form petrifies enemies with uncleanseable control.

Meanwhile, important UI upgrades bring clarity and ease to your journey. Enjoy refined item filters and categorization, a unified HUD tracker that reduces clutter and adapts to your needs, and clear indicators of where vanity items are unlocked, among other improvements.



[h3]Double Twitch Drops[/h3]
To celebrate the release of Abyssal Depths, we’re offering double Twitch Drops until July 13 at 9:30 UTC on AlbionTV and all other streams in the Albion Online category! Here’s how you can get them:
