Albion Online’s next content update, Realm Divided, is coming soon. Scheduled for November 24, this update focuses on revamping Faction Warfare, making it an active, ever-shifting campaign where every player can make a difference. From mighty Faction Fortresses to a new system of Provinces, Realm Divided is set to usher in a new era of conflict across Albion’s Royal Continent.



The territorial mechanics of Faction Warfare are being reworked with a brand-new system of Provinces. These provide focal points for faction activities, making it easier to find battles and objectives on the Royal Continent. Players earn war supplies for their side by participating in faction activities within the Provinces, driving their cause forward. This culminates in a dramatic battle for a Faction Fortress, with the attacking side attempting to besiege and capture the Fortress. The success or failure of this attack determines the shape of the broader war across the Provinces, with every player having a part to play.



Faction Transports are rolling onto the scene, making it easier for players to reach the frontlines of faction conflict and throw their weight into the battle. And there are new objectives within active regions, too. Faction Camps, overrun by bandits, offer rewards to those who can fight off the competition and claim them for their faction, while Faction Chests provide spontaneous opportunities for faction-flagged players. Meanwhile, brand-new vanity rewards can be earned to show off your prowess in fighting for your faction’s cause across Albion’s battlefields.
