The dungeon extraction genre has firmly taken root in the minds of both players and developers, and Albion Online's latest major update, Abyssal Depths, arriving on June 30th, is a testament to this trend. This update introduces a thrilling new mode with the Abyssal Dungeons, accessible via the Antiquarian's Den. Groups of two or three players will engage in a PvP-focused experience, navigating through areas like Caerleon, battling monsters, and racing against time to escape before the dungeon collapses.
This extraction format echoes the success of games like Dark and Darker, showcasing its growing popularity. However, the Abyssal Depths update encompasses more than just these dungeons. It aims to enhance the overall experience for new players by integrating a new post-tutorial phase into the existing Albion Journal. This feature is designed to guide newcomers through the early stages of Albion Online, helping them find their footing in this expansive world.
Alongside the dungeons, the update includes a range of quality-of-life improvements, such as UI updates, additional interactive tutorial features, and other enhancements. To stay informed about these changes, you can watch a series of dev talks, with the first one linked above, which will detail all the new additions coming on June 30th.
