The sandbox MMORPG Albion Online is doing well despite DDoS attacks and is exciting fans. The developers have now explained what the future plans for the game look like.
At the end of September or early October, the first major update “Joseph” will be released. This introduces an arena where you can compete against each other in 5v5 PvP matches.
The battles are not deadly and your results will be listed in a ranking system. Through a matchmaking system, you will face players with similar scores. Victors receive arena tokens, which you can exchange for rewards in the arena store. These include decorative items and upgrades for items, thus not interfering with the MMO’s economy. Further optimizations, bug fixes, and more are also part of “Joseph”.
Guild Wars and Guild Rankings
Three months after “Joseph”, towards the end of the year, the update “Kay” will be released. This update focuses on guild wars in the game.
Area invasions and guild power rankings will be introduced to make guild battles even more interesting. A ranking system will be established for capturing watchtower areas, with the ranking being reset at regular intervals. NPC troops will then march into the area and you will need to conquer it again. Participants in the guild wars can look forward to special rewards and battlemounts with special abilities.
PvE is not neglected
“Kay” also offers area raids where you can steal some of the guild rewards. Also included is a revamped marketplace, smarter black market drops and relic-level artifacts as well as further improvements, bug fixes and balancing optimizations.
After “Kay”, the team wants to focus on PvE and introduce new features like expedition maps and challenges, interactive PvE spots and blessings, new PvE-based character updates. There are no dates yet for these PvE updates of the MMORPG Albion Online.
