Albion Online’s next major update, Abyssal Depths, arrives on June 30th. The team has just announced a public playtest if you want an early taste and help the team to get the update ready.
In Abyssal Depths, we’ll get a more structured, overhauled new player experience, new Albion Journal category, new Crystal weapons, a brand new PvP mode, and the Antiquarian’s Den, part of the new PVP progression system as well as a source of new rewards.
The first public playtest has been announced for next Friday, June 13th. The public playtest will be on the test server from 1-3pm EDT/ 15:00-19:00 UTC. The announcement is brief but you can earn rewards for helping the team to find and squash some bugs in order to prepare for the updates release at the end of the month. More details will come mid next week, but if you’re interested in getting on that test server and maybe into The Depths, now you can set aside some time.

Meanwhile, if you’d like to know more, the team has opened a minisite offering an overview of everything coming in Abyssal Depths. Follows a recent Dev talk on the update overall as well as a deep dive into The Depths, the new PVP mode that also opens a new ruleset: Orange, as well as offers an option that lets you keep equipped gear on death and avoid full loss.
