Albion Online's Abyssal Depths Update Detailed

• Albion Online has shared new information about the upcoming Abyssal Depths update.
• This includes improvements to the new player experience, featuring tailored tutorial paths.
• Players can also unlock exclusive rewards by increasing their Antiquarian Standing in the Depths.

With brand-new locations to discover and an improved onboarding process for newcomers, it’s no surprise many are eagerly anticipating Albion Online’s Abyssal Depths update. If you weren’t already excited, the latest batch of enticing details will surely pique your interest.

Albion Online immerses you in a fantasy realm reminiscent of games like RuneScape, but it adds a survival sandbox twist. Instead of focusing on traditional skill leveling, you’ll gather resources and gear through a classless RPG system that encourages your preferred playstyle. Its player-driven economy and high-stakes PvP zones—where you can lose hard-earned items—make it a compelling choice for players seeking a challenging open-world RPG.

While the game can seem daunting at first, Sandbox Interactive has announced a major revamp of the new player experience with the Abyssal Depths update. For instance, the post-tutorial phase is now integrated into the main Albion Journal for easier navigation. You can choose from three specialized paths—Adventurer, Duelist, or Merchant—to help guide your journey based on your preferred style.

If you’re craving action, the update delivers on that front as well. Abyssal Depths introduces The Depths, an extraction-style dungeon where you and your allies face off against other players and dangerous creatures. The goal: survive and escape with your loot intact.

By increasing your standing with The Antiquarian—who also grants access to The Depths—through successful dungeon escapes or battles in Corrupted Dungeons and Hellgates, you can earn unique rewards. These include a hell-themed avatar, spiderling mounts, and other exclusive items.
