The dungeon extraction genre has firmly taken root in the minds of both players and developers alike, and the latest example comes from Albion Online with its Abyssal Depths update, set to launch on June 30th. This major update introduces new Abyssal Dungeons, accessible via the Antiquarian's Den, where groups of two or three players engage in a thrilling PvP-focused experience. Players will navigate through areas like Caerleon, facing off against various monsters, all while racing against time to escape before the dungeon collapses.
This extraction format, pioneered by games like Dark and Darker, has become extremely popular. However, the Abyssal Dungeons are just one aspect of the broader update aimed at enhancing the overall experience for players, especially those new to Albion Online. One significant change is the integration of the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal, which is designed to guide newcomers through the early stages and help them find their footing in the game.
Alongside the new dungeons, Abyssal Depths will introduce various quality-of-life improvements, including UI updates and additional interactive tutorial features. Players can stay informed about these changes through a series of developer talks, with the first one linked above, providing detailed insights into all the new additions coming on June 30th.
Albion Online continues to offer a stunning PvP-focused take on the RPG genre. For those who might not be interested in diving into an MMORPG, or who prefer a more focused experience, our list of the top 25 best RPGs on iOS and Android offers plenty of other options to explore.
