Albion Online, the medieval fantasy MMORPG by Sandbox Interactive, is gearing up for its next major update, dubbed Rogue Frontier, set to launch on February 3rd. This update promises to shake things up with a host of new features and content that will keep players engaged for months to come.

What’s Happening in the Outlands?

At the heart of the Rogue Frontier update are The Smugglers, a group of rebels tired of the Royal Continent's stringent laws. They've established themselves in the Outlands, setting up secret underground hideouts known as Smuggler’s Dens. These dens serve as crucial hubs for banking, repairs, and planning your next adventure. They're interconnected through the Smuggler’s Network, a system that links marketplaces across the Outlands, making it easier for players to trade and strategize.

The Smugglers have formed their own Faction and are locked in a constant struggle with the Royal Guards. Players can support them by participating in various missions, such as rescuing captured Smugglers or delivering contraband hidden in Smuggler Crates.

Loyalty Has Its Perks in the Rogue Frontier Update of Albion Online

In the Smuggler’s Dens, you'll meet Maggy Slade, a shady trader who rewards loyalty with exclusive items. Among the rewards are the Smuggler’s Vanity Set, a Smuggler’s Cape that reduces potion cooldowns, and a Smuggler’s Ring and Avatar. These items not only enhance your gameplay but also add a unique flair to your character.

The Rogue Frontier update introduces Kill Trophies, which drop when you defeat another player. The quality of the loot on your defeated opponent directly impacts your chances of obtaining these trophies, adding an extra layer of excitement to PvP encounters.

Additionally, the update brings new weapons to Albion Online, each with unique abilities. The Rotcaller Staff summons a mist-spewing form that repels enemies, the Skystrider Bow allows you to levitate and shoot arrows from above, and the Forcepulse Bracers send shockwaves through opponents as you dash into battle. These weapons not only enhance your combat options but also add a stylish edge to your arsenal.

Get ready for the Rogue Frontier update by downloading Albion Online from the Google Play Store and prepare for an exciting new chapter in the game on February 3rd.
