Albion Online News

Along with numerous other features, the Beyond the Veil update introduced two new realms to the world of Albion: the mystical Mists and the lost city of Brecilien. Along with new creatures to face off against and unexplored corners to discover, each of these new areas also has its own musical theme composed by Marie Havemann, one of Albion's longtime composers.

And starting today, you can listen to these beautiful new songs on all major streaming platforms. Click here to find these songs on your streaming platform of choice, or play the videos below to hear these new songs right away:

The Season 17 Crystal League Championship takes place December 10-11, with Albion's top Crystal League players facing off for tremendous prizes. And this time around, we'll have a special Twitch Drop campaign running on each of the two days which will be exclusive to the official AlbionTV Twitch Channel.

The campaigns are active during the following times:

• December 10: 17-21 UTC
• December 11: 17-22 UTC

More details:

• On Saturday December 10, a campaign will run that awards the following drops:
  • After 30 minutes of watching - 1 Rare Chest
  • After an additional 2 hours of watching - 1 Epic Chest
• On Sunday December 11, a campaign will run that awards the following drops:
  • After 30 minutes of watching - 1 Rare Chest
  • After an additional 2 hours of watching - 1 Legendary Chest

As these are separate campaigns, progress from December 10 does not carry over to December 11.

These campaigns run independently from the regular campaigns, so progress can be made towards these drops and the regular drops at the same time. To link your Albion and Twitch accounts and start collecting drops, click here.



Join hosts Shozen, Lewpac, and Tazzik as they bring you live coverage and commentary on these high-octane fights. The reigning champions will be crowned and receive their prizes at a ceremony after the final match on Sunday.

Albion’s eighteenth Guild Season starts December 17, with some changes to the Crystal Arena and Conqueror’s Challenge, and valuable rewards on offer like the Goliath Horseeater and Fame buffs. This season will have a faster pace than past ones, with Invasion Days happening every three weeks, and will also put more emphasis on Crystal Spiders to encourage more spontaneous open-world action. Click here for the full season schedule and complete season rewards, and read on for more details.


[h3]Season Changes[/h3]
Season 18 brings some changes to the Crystal Arena. Wins will offer more ranking points, to make the rank-up process flow more smoothly. Furthermore, players will receive new avatar frames for reaching Gold, Silver, and Crystal ranks, which are non-tradable and can only be obtained by reaching these ranks.

In the Conqueror’s Challenge, the Crystal Spider Rush requires less Might for each Guild Might Level, and each level gives more Season Points - significantly increasing the point value of each Spider. Finally, Crystal Spiders in the open world and the Roads of Avalon now drop double the loot.


[h3]Watch the Season Kickoff Live[/h3]
The season kickoff on Saturday, December 17 will be broadcast live on AlbionTV starting at 17:30 UTC, with hosts Shozen, Lewpac and Bogul bringing full coverage of Invasion Day.

At 18:00 UTC all territories will be reset for guilds to claim. Those in the North and South American time zones can tune in for the second round of territory resets on Sunday at 00:30 UTC, when hosts Shozen, Robinhoodrs and Tazzik cover the next round of invasions. All open-world fights are broadcast live with a 15-minute delay.
