The Royal Continent has erupted into full-scale war! Realm Divided is here, reshaping Faction Warfare into a living, ever-present campaign where every push, every skirmish, and every last stand matters. Provinces shift hands in real time, Fortresses come under siege, and new objectives pull fighters into clash after clash. Whether you ride with your Faction’s main force or strike out with a small squad, the momentum of war is directly shaped by your actions. Take up arms, charge into battle, and fly your city’s colors with pride!

Frontlines in Motion
Realm Divided introduces Provinces: defined battlegrounds that shift between Factions as the war ebbs and flows across the continent. Each side fights for territorial domination, while an upgraded World Map overlay highlights brewing clashes and failing defenses, making it easy to see where help is needed most and to join the fight at a moment’s notice.
Faction Transports now move fighters from Royal Cities and allied Fortresses straight into active conflict zones. Parties looking for backup can request reinforcements, letting them reach the front in moments. Will your arrival make the difference?
Clash for Control
Inside Provinces, the fight for Supplies dictates whether an offensive breaks through or a defense manages to hold, with every Outpost captured and every objective completed contributing to the war effort. New open-world skirmishes erupt constantly, with Faction Chests sparking sudden clashes between rival groups, and players contesting the spoils of bandit-occupied Faction Camps.
When attackers secure enough Supplies, the conflict surges toward a massive Fortress Siege. These battles are intense and unpredictable: waves of reinforcements crash into defenders, Weapons Caches swing momentum back and forth, and the final push for the central tower decides the fate of the entire Province. Take up your banner and support your Faction’s forces on the frontlines!
Show Your True Colors
Naturally, every campaign brings rewards for those who distinguish themselves. The new Faction Legionnaire vanity set, avatar, and avatar ring honor fighters who rise through the ranks, giving veterans a way to carry their Faction’s colors into every charge and siege.
Alongside this, new Season and Conqueror’s Bundles containing the Commander wardrobe and mount skins are available until December 15, 10 UTC. These bundles equip you with the resources and presence of a battlefield commander, complete with a matching Armored Horse skin and Heraldic variants that display your guild or faction colors.
Witness the Campaign and Earn Rewards
A new wardrobe set joins the Noble Community Chests on Twitch. The Noble Knight vanity items offer a prestige look for those who want to stand out on the frontlines, a style worthy of Albion’s most influential warriors.
Launch week also brings an added surge of rewards. Until December 1 at 9:30 UTC, all Albion Online streamers grant double regular drops, while AOCP creators offer additional double Noble Drops throughout the event.
