Berlin – Sandbox Interactive, developers of Albion Online, have announced July 31 as the launch date of the Merlyn Update. Merlyn is the fourth major post-launch content update for Albion Online, and introduces numerous new features to the game, foremost among them being an all-new Faction Warfare system.
Faction Warfare
Faction Warfare lets players sign up with one of five factions centered around the five cities on the Royal Continent. Once signed up with a faction, they can participate in open-world warfare and earn faction points that can be spent in exclusive stores.
Outposts and Trading
Capturable faction outposts exist throughout the Royal Continent, which offer valuable resources – but taking them down means defeating unique bosses, which have their own special powers and personalities. Players can also run trade caravans through hostile enemy territory to gain faction resources.
Faction Rewards
Faction resources can be used as substitute materials in crafting recipes, or used to create all-new capes with powerful attributes. Each city also has its own unique faction mount with special attributes that can likewise be bought with faction points.
Gathering, Refining, and Crafting Updates
Resource distribution has been updated to encourage travel and transport throughout the Royal Continent, and each city on the Royal Continent now has its own unique refining and crafting bonuses.
Marketplace UI Improvements
The Marketplace UI has been completely overhauled to offer a much cleaner and more streamlined experience, and players can now view a clearer average price display and an in-depth sales history.
Additional Improvements
Merlyn also brings a new dungeon, new costumes and trophies, updated weapon skills, and more.
