- Patch Title: The “Foundations” Update is Live!
- Patch Release Date: April 15, 2024
The developer of Albion Online has released a new update for the game on April 15, 2024. Here are the new things that you should expect to see or change on this new update. This information was curated directly from the official announcement on Steam.
The Foundations are ready for a new era in warfare! With mighty Fortifications, rousing Siege Banners, overflowing Territory Activity Chests, and a lot more, Albion’s latest update lays the groundwork for fierce battles all across its lands.
In anticipation of what’s about to unfold, we’ve produced a brand-new trailer for the occasion. Check it out here:
Man the Barricades
This update introduces Fortifications to territory warfare. Guilds can upgrade the walls, gates, and guards protecting their territories, providing progressively more staunch barriers to would-be attackers. Siege Banners, meanwhile, change the dimensions of territory battles, forcing attackers and defenders alike to rethink their tactics – attackers must carry a banner to the territory tower to be victorious, but defenders have the opportunity to end an attack early by controlling the banner themselves, until it’s destroyed.

New Incentives
Territory Activity Chests accumulate loot based on activity levels in surrounding regions. This encourages guilds to be active around their holdings, and even to ensure outsiders operate in safety there. But with greater riches comes an incentive for rivals, who can loot the chests and make off with the spoils themselves.
Foundations also introduces the next three Crystal Weapons in the game: the Arctic Staff, Phantom Twinblade, and Crystal Reaper. With unique, powerful spells, these weapons offer a prestigious reward for players who are successful in the Conqueror’s Challenge.
Further Features
A much-anticipated Spectator Mode gives creators and streamers the ability to broadcast their own Custom Matches, allowing them to organize their own, exciting tournaments however they want to. Hammers have been refreshed with new spells, ready to strike down opponents on Albion’s battlefields. And a host of further features have been added across the game, such as solo Tracking improvements, new territory layouts, and a number of combat balance changes.
Foundations is live now, so log in and check out these new features! For a full rundown of the changes in this update, read the patchnotes, and see the official update page for more info:
