Albion Online News

It’s the spookiest time of the year - and the Allhallows event is here! For its duration you can run the limited-time Hallowed Ground dungeon for the chance to grab the very rare Jack o’ Donkey and Horse Macabre mount skins!

This dungeon can appear randomly in T4-T8 zones across the open world, and can be entered through special portals adorned with pumpkins. Once inside, you’ll find it filled with blood-curdling mobs, bone-chilling decorations, and the abominable final boss: Bob. Should you withstand its horrors and defeat this pumpkin-headed nuisance, you’ll find a special Hallowed Ground chest which, along with those ultra-rare mount skins, may contain some special Allhallows Treats. These grant a temporary boost to all non-PvP Fame - but don’t save them for too long, you wouldn’t want them to go bad would you?



Allhallows runs for the following times on each server:

• Albion East: October 26 at 23 UTC to November 15 at 23 UTC
• Albion West: October 27 at 10 UTC to November 16 at 10 UTC

So arm yourselves up, head down into the dungeons, and go put the frighteners on old Bob!

The Tracker Vanity Bundle is here! This brand-new premiere bundle is available to buy now, and includes a full costume set along with the Tracker’s Horse Mount Skin for your Riding Horse base mount.

With Wild Blood is out there, Albion’s boldest and most intrepid adventurers are prowling the open world, taking on strange and fearsome creatures to make off with their rare essences. Tough yet canny, the Tracker seeks out traces of these beasts in the darkest corners of the land, moving fearlessly wherever they lead.

So attuned are they with Albion’s nature, the Tracker appears almost as magical as the very creatures they hunt, a strange, misty luminescence emanating from them. The Tracker’s Horse, too, covers Albion’s vast lands with a calm purpose, its mystical markings aglow as it carries its companion towards the final showdown with their target.

The Tracker bundle includes the following vanity skins, which work on male and female characters alike:

• Tracker’s Hood
• Tracker’s Armor
• Tracker’s Boots
• Tracker’s Spear
• Tracker’s Horse

As with past bundles, you can use all costume and mount skins with all characters on your account, on both servers, and they are never lost or destroyed. All items will be unlocked in the in-game "Appearance" menu after purchase.

Grab this premiere bundle today and track down your prey!

Wild Blood is now live! This update introduces some major new additions and improvements to Albion’s gameworld, with Shapeshifter Weapons, Tracking, Awakened Weapons, new and reworked potions, and much more.

To mark the update, we’ve produced a new trailer:

[h3]Fearsome New Forms[/h3]
Shapeshifter Weapons are a brand-new Staff weapon line which allow players to transform into fantastical beasts mid-combat, expanding the possibilities of combat builds and bringing a new level to Albion’s ‘you are what you wear’ system. Tracking, meanwhile, is a new activity in which these same creatures can be hunted across the open world by groups. These hunts will take you along unexpected paths, but success can reward you with rare, magical artifacts and ingredients.

[h3]New Powers Unleashed[/h3]


The ingredients gained through Tracking can be used to craft seven powerful new potions and Shapeshifter Artifact Weapons, while potions can now be enchanted to new levels. Meanwhile, Awakened Weapons can be attuned with unique combinations of traits, allowing the bearer to wield immense strength. These weapons may be lost in combat, of course, but their traits will live on, telling their story and that of their owners.

[h3]Additional Improvements[/h3]


Personal Islands now have stunning new visuals, reflecting the biome of the city they are attached to, and players can now own more than one island. Furthermore, new farming bonuses for each of these biomes encourage trade across Albion and economic specialization. Randomized Dungeons have expressive new visuals too, along with reworked layouts and some colossal new enemies you may encounter. And the Death Recap lets players go over their recent combat defeats, to hone their skills before returning to the fray.

[h3]Celebrate Wild Blood with Twitch Drops[/h3]


To mark the release of Wild Blood, we’re running a special Twitch Drops campaign in addition to our regular campaign! For full details, see this forum post.
