- Albion Online's next major expansion, Abyssal Depths, arrives on June 30th
- Dive into the new Abyssal Dungeons and experience an extraction-based dungeon crawler mode
- Quality-of-life enhancements and tutorial improvements are also part of the update
The dungeon extraction genre has clearly captured the attention of both players and developers. Albion Online is the latest to embrace this trend with its Abyssal Depths update, launching on June 30th.
Accessible through the Antiquarian's Den, these Abyssal Dungeons pit teams of two or three players against each other in PvP-focused encounters. You'll navigate through monster-infested depths in locations like Caerleon, fighting or evading creatures while racing to escape before the dungeon collapses.
If this sounds familiar, you're absolutely right - this extraction format was pioneered by Dark and Darker and has since gained massive popularity. However, the Abyssal Dungeons represent just one component of a broader update that aims to revitalize the experience for newcomers to Albion Online.
WelcomeOne significant improvement integrates the post-tutorial experience directly into the existing Albion Journal, providing clearer guidance to help new players navigate Albion Online's early stages and establish their foundation.
The Abyssal Depths update also introduces numerous quality-of-life enhancements, including UI refinements, additional interactive tutorial elements, and various improvements. Stay informed about all changes through the developer talk series, with the first episode linked above, detailing everything coming on June 30th!
