In this Dev Talk, Game Director Robin Henkys and Co-Creative Director Michael Schwahn introduce Rogue Frontier, Albion Online’s next major update, coming this February. This update builds on the Outlands focus from Horizons by introducing new solo and small-scale features, and brings the highly requested Bank Overview. Let’s dive into the highlights:
Find your New Home in the Outlands
Smuggler’s Dens are safe hubs for you to set as home and fast travel
- Ideal for solo and small-scale adventurers looking to set up base in the Outlands
- Outlands Banks will be phased out in favor of these new zones
- Fast travel with gear is not possible
Access the Smuggler’s Market Network within these Dens
- Connects all Dens and Outlands Rests markets
- Trading fees are based on distance between markets
The Smuggler Faction
Engage with Smuggler Faction Activities designed for small groups and solo players:
- Secure crates from ambushed wagons and deliver them to Hidden Smuggler Stashes
- Crates can be carried one at a time and disappear quickly
- Multiple stash locations prevent drop-off camping
- Designed for swift small-group tactics, limiting the dominance of large guilds
- Free captured Smugglers from Royal Guards
- Collect Smuggler Coins from Hidden Treasures and Coffers
Complete these activities and boost your Smuggler Faction Standing for exclusive rewards:
- The Smuggler Vanity Set lets you proudly display your allegiance
- The Smuggler Cape features the Hidden Vial ability, which reduces potion cooldowns by 90 seconds
Bank Improvements
- View and search personal and guild bank tabs remotely from the Bank Overview
- Access corresponding city banks directly from personal islands
