The dungeon extraction genre has firmly taken root in the minds of both players and developers, with Albion Online's latest major update, Abyssal Depths, set to launch on June 30th, perfectly illustrating this trend. This update introduces players to the new Abyssal Dungeons, which can be accessed via the Antiquarian's Den. In these dungeons, groups of two or three players will engage in a thrilling PvP-focused experience, navigating the depths of areas like Caerleon, battling monsters, and racing to escape before the dungeon collapses.
This extraction format may sound familiar, as it echoes the gameplay pioneered by Dark and Darker, a testament to its rising popularity. However, the Abyssal Dungeons are just one facet of a comprehensive update aimed at enhancing the overall experience for players, particularly those new to Albion Online.
A significant enhancement in this update is the integration of the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal. This feature is designed to guide newcomers through the early stages of the game, helping them find their footing in the expansive world of Albion Online.
Alongside the dungeons, Abyssal Depths will introduce numerous other improvements, including UI updates, additional interactive tutorial features, and various quality-of-life tweaks. To stay informed about all these changes, players can tune into a series of developer talks, with the first one linked above, offering a detailed walkthrough of the new additions set to arrive on June 30th.
Albion Online continues to offer a compelling PvP-focused take on the RPG genre. For those who might not be interested in diving into an MMORPG, or who prefer a more streamlined experience, our list of the top 25 best RPGs on iOS and Android provides excellent alternatives to explore.
