Players who log into the desktop and mobile versions with the same account will receive a prize. This exclusive cross-play reward includes Tomes of Insight and a Chimera Riding Horse Skin.
This medieval fantasy title was designed to have a player-driven economy was first released in 2017 for PC. Players created all of the equipment and items traded in-game. Albion Online is now entirely free to play.
The sandbox game has a classless fighting system that makes switching skill sets easy. It’s the weapons and armor the player uses that determine skill set instead of player class. This freedom allows the player to adjust to any fight and opponent. Crafting and improving both weapons and armors can increase the player’s fighting capabilities. Switching out mounts to suit the situation is another way to increase skills.
Beyond fighting other players in order to conquer the world, there’s a variety of biomes available for exploration. These give the option for choosing a different type of conquest. Instead of a war-driven conqueror, players can focus on taking over the economy. Territories can be claimed and guilds can be joined, there’s no set path or storyline. Truly, an open world ripe for conquest.
