Heads Up Albion Online, Joseph Is Coming To Town!
Albion Online has just announced that Joseph will be coming to the game next week. Who’s Joseph, you ask? That’s not him in the header by the way. He, or rather it, is the fantasy sandbox MMORPG’s first major update since the game launched in July. Joseph is scheduled to go live on September 27 and will introduce the new Arena mode.
“The Arena is a new mode where you are matched against worthy opponents in a 5v5 control point battle. Be in the team to capture the most Runestones, maintain a high score, and you will be granted redeemable Arena Sigils for great rewards. Ready to put your skills to the test? Need to practice for higher Tier PvP battles? Enter the Arena and prove yourself with your friends, guild mates, or on your own.”
The upcoming update will also feature new Treasure Sites, two new T6 expeditions, new abilities, UI improvements, and the much-awaited Smart Casting mechanic, along with new effects, tweaks, and bug fixes.
According to Sandbox Interactive, the next major update, called Kay, (apparently they’re all going to be named after people) is slated for release “before the end of the year.” In the meantime, check out what Joseph has to offer in the update trailer after the break. You can also head over to the Albion Online official site for more details.
