The dungeon extraction genre has undoubtedly captured the imagination of both gamers and game developers, a fact that's clearly evident with Albion Online's upcoming Abyssal Depths update, set to launch on June 30th. This update introduces the thrilling Abyssal Dungeons, an extraction dungeon crawler mode that you can access through the Antiquarian's Den. Here, teams of two or three players will dive into a PvP-centric adventure, navigating through perilous areas like Caerleon, battling or evading monstrous foes, all while racing against time to escape before the dungeon collapses.
This extraction format, reminiscent of the trailblazing style seen in Dark and Darker, underscores its rising popularity. However, the Abyssal Dungeons are just one facet of a comprehensive update aimed at enhancing the overall experience for newcomers to Albion Online. A significant overhaul includes integrating the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal, providing a smoother transition for new players as they navigate their early stages in the game and find their footing.
Beyond the dungeons, the Abyssal Depths update promises a range of quality-of-life improvements, including UI updates and enhanced interactive tutorial features. To stay informed about all the exciting changes, you can watch a series of developer talks, starting with the first one linked above, which will guide you through the myriad of new additions coming on June 30th.
