Albion Online Launches Rogue Frontier Update with a New Smuggler Faction

Albion Online's Rogue Frontier update, the first major release of 2025, throws players into a thrilling world of outlaw activity. This update introduces a brand-new faction, revamped trading mechanics, and exciting new weaponry, all centered around the theme of living on the edge. Join the underground network of rebels and forge your own path.

The Smugglers Arrive in Albion Online

Tired of the Royal Continent's rigid rules? The Smugglers are here to offer an alternative. This faction of outcasts has established hidden bases known as Smuggler's Dens, offering a haven for illicit activities and a chance to operate outside the established order.

These dens provide essential services, including banks, repair stations, and travel planners, facilitating seamless movement throughout the Outlands. The Smugglers' Network, a new trading system, bypasses the Royal Continent's taxes and regulations, offering a faster, albeit riskier, method of transporting goods. Naturally, the Smugglers demand their cut.

Becoming a full-fledged Smuggler involves undertaking faction missions, ranging from recovering stolen crates from ambushed caravans to rescuing captured Smugglers from Royal Guards. Successful missions reward players with Smuggler's Coins, boosting their standing within the faction.

Beyond the Smugglers: More Rogue Frontier Features

The Rogue Frontier update also delivers several highly anticipated features. The new Bank Overview provides a centralized view of all your stored items, eliminating the frustrating search for misplaced loot.

PvP enthusiasts will appreciate the addition of Kill Trophies, a way to commemorate hard-fought victories. The Albion Journal now includes a Creatures category, encouraging players to document the diverse wildlife of the world.

Three new Crystal Weapons cater to different playstyles, whether you're an explorer, trader, or fighter. Download Albion Online from the Google Play Store and experience the Rogue Frontier update today!
