Albion Online has kicked off 2025 with a bang, introducing the Rogue Frontier update, which embodies the thrill of living on the edge. This update introduces a new faction, innovative trading mechanisms, and exciting new weapons, inviting players to join an underground network of outcasts who live by their own rules.

Enter the Smugglers, the ultimate rebels and misfits who've grown tired of the Royal Continent's stringent regulations. They've established their base in the untamed wilds, creating hidden Smuggler's Dens where you can set up your operations, secure your loot, and engage in a variety of clandestine activities. These dens are equipped with banks, repair stations, and travel planners to keep you on the move.

The Smugglers have introduced a Smuggler's Network, a trading system that revolutionizes how goods are transported across the Outlands. This network allows you to bypass the Royal Continent's cumbersome taxes, though you'll need to pay a fee to the Smugglers for their services.

Joining the Smuggler faction means you can take on missions to demonstrate your allegiance. Whether you're tracking down stolen Smuggler Crates from ambushed wagons or rescuing captured Smugglers from the Royal Guards, your efforts will earn you Smuggler's Coins. These coins can then be used to elevate your standing within the faction.

Let’s Look Beyond the Smuggler Action

Beyond the Smuggler activities, the Rogue Frontier update brings a host of long-awaited features to Albion Online. The new Bank Overview feature allows you to track your items across the game world, eliminating the hassle of forgetting where you stashed that rare loot.

For PvP enthusiasts, Kill Trophies have been added to commemorate your most epic battles. Additionally, the Albion Journal now includes a Creatures category, encouraging you to document the diverse wildlife you encounter.

The update also introduces three new Crystal Weapons tailored for explorers, traders, and fighters. Dive into Albion Online, available on the Google Play Store, to experience all these new additions firsthand.
