The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online will receive its first major content update with the “Joseph Update” at the end of September since its release. The update includes, among other things, a new 5vs5 PvP arena, new expeditions, and weapon abilities.
Albion Online is a complex sandbox MMORPG from Berlin-based studio Sandbox Interactive. With the new “Joseph” update, the first major update since the launch of the sandbox game is coming. It will be released on September 27 and will bring a new arena, expeditions, and improvements to weapons and skills.
Albion Online – Joseph Update with Arena and Expeditions
The highlight of the update is the new 5vs5 arena. There, you conquer control points with your team to win. As a reward, you receive arena seals, which can be exchanged for rewards or traded with others. Each hero can collect three arena seals per day for the first three matches won – a maximum of nine arena seals per day are possible.
Additionally, the Joseph update includes two new expeditions:
- The Eternal Battle: A horde of undead has settled in an old town. Drive them away to make room for the living!
- The Three Sisters: Restore the reputation of a dishonored guard and explore a monastery where three ageless followers of Morgana reside.
Albion Online – New Treasure Sites and Abilities
Besides the expeditions and the arena, there are a few more new features with the Joseph update:
- The old relics around Albion are replaced by treasure sites. There you will find plenty of silver and can engage in a fight with a spirit for more loot.
- With the new “Smart Cast” feature, you can now cast spells freely according to your playstyle.
- The UI has been improved. Additionally, there are UX improvements in the social menu.
- Bows, daggers, cursed staves, swords, and spears from level 5 acquire new abilities.
