"Albion Online's Abyssal Depth Update Launches Next Month End"
- Albion Online’s highly anticipated major update, Abyssal Depths, launches on June 30th
- Dive into the new Abyssal Dungeons, featuring an intense extraction-based dungeon crawler mode
- The update also includes quality-of-life enhancements and improvements to the onboarding and tutorial experience
The extraction dungeon genre continues to gain momentum, captivating both players and developers across the gaming landscape. Albion Online is the latest to embrace the trend with its Abyssal Depths update, set to arrive on June 30th.
The new Abyssal Dungeons are accessed through the Antiquarian's Den and introduce a high-stakes, PvP-driven gameplay loop for groups of two or three players. Set in iconic locations like Caerleon, these dungeons challenge teams to navigate dangerous depths, battle fearsome monsters, and secure valuable loot—all while racing to escape before the environment collapses around them.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because the core concept follows the blueprint popularized by Dark and Darker, which helped reignite interest in the extraction RPG format. However, the Abyssal Dungeons are just one component of a broader overhaul aimed at improving the experience for new players entering Albion’s vast world.

A key highlight of the update is the revamped post-tutorial journey, now seamlessly integrated into the Albion Journal. This new system is designed to better guide newcomers through the early stages of the game, offering clearer direction and support as they learn the ropes and begin to carve their path in the world.
Beyond the dungeons and onboarding updates, Abyssal Depths introduces a range of additional improvements—including UI refinements, enhanced interactive tutorial elements, and various quality-of-life tweaks to streamline gameplay. For a deeper look at what’s coming, a series of developer talks will be released, with the first video available now—providing an in-depth preview of all the new features launching June 30th.
