The Abyssal Depths are calling… On June 30, Albion’s next major content update arrives, offering new paths into Albion’s deepest reaches. The Depths provide a thrilling new PvP experience for new and veteran players alike. The Antiquarian’s Den acts as a route into an array of hell-themed content, with new rewards for those who fully explore this. A reworked new player experience presents structured guidance to Albion’s gameplay. And a new Albion Journal category and Crystal Weapons offer coveted rewards to experienced players. With all this and more, dare you look into Albion’s Abyssal Depths?

Enter the Depths
The Depths are an all-new type of instanced PvP, located in Albion’s ancient underground aqueducts. Players are trapped inside a collapsing dungeon for a limited time, and must battle fierce mobs – and each other – to earn loot and buffs. Once the exits open, players can decide whether to make their escape or venture deeper for greater rewards. And if killed in combat, fallen fighters can be revived by their allies with their equipped gear intact, allowing them to return to the fray with a vengeance. The Depths provide players with an ideal gateway into Albion’s competitive PvP, offering meaningful, adrenaline-fueled combat without the danger of gear loss.

Diabolical Dens
The Depths can be accessed from the Antiquarian’s Den, a new subterranean staging ground for all of Albion’s most infernal content. Each city on the Royal Continent contains an Antiquarian’s Den entrance, from which players can dive into the Depths, Corrupted Dungeons, and Hellgates. These lairs serve as a place to gear up and meet others who wish to test themselves in these areas, making matchmaking faster and fairer. And within these dens you can also meet the Antiquarian itself – a sinister, mysterious merchant offering hellish rewards to those who’ve proven themselves in Albion’s underworld, including new spider mounts for you to raise and ride into combat.

Further Improvements
Abyssal Depths reworks Albion’s new player experience, providing a smoother and more structured entry to the game while introducing players to the breadth of content they can enjoy. A dedicated Albion Journal category offers concrete goals for the initial stages of the game, with rewards for every milestone reached, and there’s also a new Character Progression category based on Destiny Board progress. The final two Crystal Weapons, for the Shapeshifter Staff and Hammer, are coming for successful Guild Season players. And there are further quality-of-life improvements across the board, such as a new combined tracker in the HUD and a reworked Marketplace categorization system.
