The extraction dungeon genre is making waves, and Albion Online's upcoming major update, Abyssal Depths, set to launch on June 30th, is a testament to its growing popularity. This update introduces the thrilling Abyssal Dungeons, which you can access through the Antiquarian's Den. These dungeons offer a PvP-focused experience where groups of two or three players navigate and battle monsters in areas like Caerleon, racing against time to escape before the dungeon collapses.
If this sounds familiar, it's because the extraction format was popularized by games like Dark and Darker. However, Abyssal Dungeons are just one aspect of the comprehensive Abyssal Depths update. A significant overhaul aims to enhance the experience for new players, integrating a new post-tutorial phase into the existing Albion Journal. This guide is designed to help newcomers navigate the early stages of the game and find their footing in the world of Albion Online.
The update also includes a variety of miscellaneous improvements, such as UI updates, enhanced interactive tutorial features, and other quality-of-life enhancements. To stay informed about all the new additions, check out the series of developer talks, starting with the one linked above, which will guide you through everything coming on June 30th.
