In the depths of Albion’s long, cold winter, many animals hibernate, buried away with the fruits of the previous season’s gathering. But some keep on trucking, trudging through the elements, bravely ferrying wares across the lands to keep Albion’s economy running smoothly.

One such creature stands stoically above all: the famous Frost Moose. And until April 1, you can transform your Stag base mount into one of these cool-headed creatures by referring a single friend! With icicles hanging from its great antlers, it will carry you unflappably through the snow and freezing wind - and once you’ve unlocked it, it can do so for any character on your account.

This referral season lasts until maintenance on April 1, so refer a friend now and claim your rewards!

The Carnival Challenge is back! For the whole month of February, earn Challenge Points, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Saddled Terrorbird.


SADDLED TERRORBIRD: This month's Challenge brings back the charming, lightning-fast Saddled Terrorbird, a speedy mount that will carry you quickly across the lands of Albion. With an above-average base move speed and an additional invincibility/speed burst spell, it's the perfect ride for those who need to cover some ground quickly and safely.


AVATAR RING: Along with the Saddled Terrorbird, you'll unlock the Carnival Challenge Avatar Ring when you reach this month's Challenge Point goal. Give your avatar a colorful, festive look all year round! This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this avatar border for one character, or can be traded for one Adventurer's Token at the Vanity Merchant.


SEASONAL SPECIALS: Unlock weekly Carnival Challenge chests to get valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes, resources, and silver bags, along with a chance at carnival-themed Wardrobe Skins. You can also get three furniture items: the Carnival Firework, Carnival Arch, and Carnival Costume Cart.

To celebrate the upcoming launch of the new Albion East server, we can announce an exclusive live stream on January 24 at 19:00 UTC with Game Director Robin Henkys!

This live question and answer session will take place on AlbionTV and viewers will be able to write their questions in the chat, from which selected questions will be answered. There will be insights into the new system and the thoughts behind it, as well as details on how it will work - so tune in to get your questions answered.

And for those who aren't able to tune in then, there will be a restream of the Q&A at 12:00 UTC on January 25. Although we won't be able to get everyone in front of a camera again for that one, there will be live chat interaction with Community Manager Nesnes, who will collect and answer your questions as best as she can.


To mark this special event, we’ll be giving away double Twitch Drops during both the live stream and the restream, exclusive to those watching AlbionTV. This means that after 15 minutes you will be able to receive two Epic Chest drops, and two Legendary Chest drops after a further 30 minutes, meaning a total of 45 minutes watchtime is needed to receive all drops - and viewers who watch both streams can receive both sets of drops. Don’t miss out!

Albion Online will launch a dedicated server for the Asia-Pacific region in March 2023! This new server will make the world of Albion more accessible than ever for countless new and existing players.

Watch the brand-new announcement trailer here:


Along with offering greatly improved connection speeds and ping for players in the region, the new server will also adjust times of game and server events such as maintenance, territory resets, and the Crystal League schedule.

Here are the major features of the new server:

• A fresh start in a new and untouched version of the game, where all players start as equals and can claim their own piece of Albion
• A game world that is fully separate and independent from the existing "Albion West" server
• Greatly improved connection speeds and ping for the whole Asia-Pacific region
• Timings of game and server events (territory battles, Crystal League, Faction Warfare, maintenance, etc.) that are optimized for the region

For more information about servers, characters, and accounts, check out the dedicated Albion East landing page.


On January 24 at 19:00 UTC, you can take part in an exclusive Q&A with Game Director Robin Henkys on AlbionTV! Tune in to learn more about the new server and its development, and ask your own questions in the chat, in this special event. Stay tuned for more details.

Get ready, because a week-long Fame Rush is happening now! Between now and maintenance on January 25, get 25% additional Fame for all ingame activities.

Here are the details:

• This buff automatically grants an additional 25% Fame for all activities
• The buff does not apply to Fame earned via PvP kills and Tomes of Insight, and does not boost the rate at which Challenge Points are earned
• The buff ends at 10:00 UTC on Wednesday, January 25

Log in now and take advantage of this week-long Fame Rush to level up your combat, crafting, and gathering!

Beyond the Veil Patch 3 has arrived! This patch continues to improve the Roads of Avalon, as well as introducing Streamer Mode, various Combat Balance changes, and more. Read on for details…

Following player feedback after the Beyond the Veil update, the Roads of Avalon have undergone some significant changes to improve their playability for all group sizes, including solo players. Avalonian Camps have been rebalanced for different group sizes, and are once again marked by a chest icon on the map. Furthermore, mobs surrounding chests in the Roads will upgrade in line with the chests, and with each upgrade all dead mobs around the chest will respawn.



These changes should make the Roads more appealing to a wider range of players, and in turn ensure they’re a lively, well-populated part of Albion. And alongside these improvements, the Roads have received a long-awaited visual overhaul, making them more aesthetically in-tune with the rest of Albion while highlighting their unique character.

To improve the experience of those who stream Albion, as well as their viewers, a new Streamer Mode has been introduced. This can be toggled on and off in the Settings menu, and when activated hides certain UI features that can identify the streamer’s location to viewers. This will help streamers avoid stream-snipers while broadcasting, as well as hide login details when disconnected.

• Changes to the home removal debuff, allowing more freedom for small-scale travel
• Various Combat Balance changes
• New Crystal Realm map for Season 18
• … and more

For a complete list of changes, see the official patch notes.

Happy New Year, Adventurers! Start the year off right with the return of the Frost Challenge – earn Challenge Points, unlock chests to get valuable loot, and claim your very own Frost Ram.




FROST RAM: This month's Challenge brings back the popular Frost Ram, a sturdy mount with an impressive leap spell. With its relatively fast move speed and ability to carry plenty of weight, it's the perfect companion for gathering missions.



AVATAR RING: Along with the Frost Ram, you can unlock the Frost Challenge Avatar Ring to give your avatar an ice-cold aura all year long. This non-tradable item permanently unlocks this avatar border for one character, or it can be traded for one Adventurer's Token at the Vanity Merchant.
 

SEASONAL SPECIALS: All month, unlock Frost Challenge chests to get valuable rewards like Adventurer's Tomes and Silver bags, along with furniture items like the snowman and snowball pile, classic ice sculptures, the epic Frost Igloo, and a rare chance for the Rich Noble vanity skins.

2022 was a big year in the world of Albion, with major content updates, a huge five-year milestone, and an ever-growing worldwide community of players. Join us for a look back at some of the major highlights…

2022 began by building on the solid foundation laid by the Lands Awakened update in late 2021. The Conqueror's Challenge, newly introduced with Lands Awakened, was streamlined over the ensuing Guild Seasons in early 2022 to offer guilds of all sizes a huge number of ways to earn Might and Favor and unlock spectacular rewards, while making Might Levels easier to reach.



Rewards for the Crystal League were also increased, and an updated map was introduced to make this core 5v5 content more dynamic and unpredictable.
In March 2022, Albion Online became playable with controllers and on the newly launched Steam Deck, opening the game up to a whole new audience and playstyle.



Then in April, Albion Online received the German Computer Games Prize for Best Mobile Game. This rounded out a season that saw Albion honored by a growing list of achievements:

• Deutscher Entwicklerpreis: Best Mobile Game
• MassivelyOP Year-End Awards: Best PvP
• GamingonPhone Game Awards: Best Mobile Port
• Deutscher Computerspielpreis: Best Mobile Game

Spring also brought a massively expanded Rites of Spring event that introduced a new mount, the Spring Cottontail rabbit, which was growable from rare eggs that spawned throughout the world.


In June, the Into the Fray update went live, improving and expanding numerous game systems and introducing fully reworked Magic Staffs. The update also brought new Portal Towns, improved Castles, the non-lethal Crystal League, Victory Emotes, and numerous other features and much more.



Further improvements to Magic Staffs came with the "Arcane and Frost" Patch several months later, and additional patches later in the year brought features like a new Guild Finder and support for Japanese and Italian.

In July, Albion Online celebrated a huge milestone: the fifth anniversary of its launch in 2017. The celebrations kicked off with a major in-game event, Living Legacy, which saw statues of Albion's past season winners come to life and roam the open world.



The festivities continued with a special Anniversary Stream where Albion's developers discussed creating the game, offered rare insights into early development builds, and gave a sneak peek at what the coming months and years might bring to the world of Albion.

In the fall, Albion's next major update, Beyond the Veil, went live. This update brought mysterious and magical new realms to the game, foremost among them the Mists, a new land of danger and opportunity. The update also introduced the lost city of Brecilien, a whole new Fey Armor line, Pristine Resources, and numerous other features and improvements.


Last but not least, 2022 was rounded out by another honor: the game received the MassivelyOP "Best PvP" Award for the second year in a row! It also appeared on several best-of lists in 2022, including Rock Paper Shotgun's "30 Best Steam Deck Games" and MMORPG.GG's "18 Best Isometric MMOs".


In early 2023 we'll continue improving on the updated Mists and Roads introduced with Beyond the Veil. Alongside that, we'll be working on new features and improvements to the game throughout the year, so stay tuned for announcements. For now, we want to extend our thanks to you, the Albion community, for making everything we do possible.

Happy New Year!
