Albion Online – Major Update in March
Genre: MMORPG | Developer: Sandbox Interactive| Platform: PC, iOS, Android | Release Date: July 17, 2017 | Model: Free2Play |
What kind of game is this? The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online puts you in a fantasy world where you determine your role based on your gear. If you wear armor and a sword, then you are a warrior. With tools in hand, you become a craftsman.
PvP is at the center of Albion Online. Guilds occupy territories where valuable resources can be harvested. There are frequent guild wars. But PvE content such as quests and dungeons full of monsters are also part of it.
These are the Highlights of Albion Online
Albion Online has been growing since the transition to Free2Play in 2019. It just celebrated a player record in September 2020. This is also due to the following features:
- A huge world that is divided into many instanced areas, but where you still encounter many players.
- All sorts of resources and possibilities to improve your equipment or earn gold.
- There are no fixed classes; your gear determines your play style.
- If you like PvP, you will get your money’s worth. There is open-world PvP, battles for outposts, instanced fights, and arena PvP.
