Albion Online News

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!

Remember when we started giving away Miststalkers for free to everyone who logged into Albion Online? How are you enjoying yours? What? What do you mean you don’t have one yet?

Then let me say it again. Until 10:00 UTC on May 6 you can get a free Miststalker skin just by logging into Albion Online on any platform.

Once again, this is a free Swiftclaw skin for everyone.



Got it? OK, great. Then go pick up your free mount skin now, before this offer ends!

 

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!


[h3]Live Interview on AlbionTV[/h3]
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!

Move aside, peasants! There’s a new boss in town, and he’s rolling through in a brand-new, top of the line Luxury Cart.

The Luxury Cart is the soft-top model in our Ox line, and features plush red seating, an ale-holder, and wooden rims. We’re only offering these elite rides for one month, and as part of this limited-time offer we’re throwing in a pathetic servant to haul you around as you carry your enormous stacks of valuables from the marketplace to the bank.

The Disciples of Morgana have re-emerged from the shadows... and for the entire month of May, you can take the Morgana Challenge to collect fantastic rewards. Earn points for open-world activities, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Morgana Raven mount.

MORGANA RAVEN: This month's Challenge brings back the popular Morgana Raven, a fearsome, fast-moving flying mount with an area-of-effect Fear spell. (Note: the Morgana Raven requires the same terrain pathing as all other mounts, and cannot fly over gaps or obstacles).
 

AVATAR RING: Adventurers who rack up enough total Challenge Points will also earn the Morgana Challenge Avatar Ring, a menacing, fiery frame that will give your avatar an aura of dread. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this avatar ring for one character.
 



SEASONAL SPECIALS: All month long, reach weekly goals to unlock Morgana Challenge chests. These chests contain valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes and Silver bags, along with unique Morgana-themed furniture items.


As always, you can earn Challenge Points by gathering, fishing, farming, and killing monsters. Points count simultaneously toward a daily bonus, a weekly unlockable chest, and the monthly mount. So log in, head out into the open world, gather points, and claim your rewards!
