Albion Online continues to engage players with new updates
The game continues to grow every day and is captivating players all around the world with new updates and features. Robin Henkys the game director of Albion Online has shared information about the upcoming updates of the game in the latest dev talk. The next update will be going live at the start of the next guild season. According to Henkys, the topmost priorities are to “keep improving Albion Online’s open world, update old content and make the game accessible to many people as possible”, he further said, “They have been working on a massive overhaul of weapons and the revitalization of the crystal league.”
