Albion Online Will Introduce Fishing With The Upcoming Lancelot Update
Fishing has been a staple of MMOs for years. It’s a good way take a break from the monotony of killing and questing. Not that it’s any less frustrating though. Medieval fantasy MMORPG Albion Online plans to implement their own fishing system with the Lancelot update scheduled to roll out next week.
“The waters of Albion are open for intrepid adventurers. Players can now fish in Albion’s rivers, lakes and oceans for common fish, trickier “bosses” or rare sunken treasures. Different biomes and settings offer different types of fish, as do freshwater and saltwater. Fish can be used as ingredients for meals or sold. As with other resources in the game, fishing will have different tiers. The most legendary catches can be used to decorate the walls of players’ homes as trophies.”
Game Director Robin Henkys talks about the new feature in a recent dev video. Aside from being a fun activity and a way to take a break from the rigors of adventuring, Henky’s says that the new fishing system is the “first major economic addition” to the game since its launch in July last year.
