Albion Online Unveils Rogue Frontier Update, Introduces Smuggler Faction

Albion Online has kicked off 2025 with a thrilling update named Rogue Frontier, where living on the edge is the central theme. This update introduces a new faction, innovative trading methods, and exciting new weapons. Players now have the opportunity to join an underground network of outcasts who play by their own rules.

The Smugglers represent the ultimate rebels and misfits who've grown tired of the Royal Continent's regulations. They've established hidden hideouts known as Smuggler’s Dens, where you can set up a base, store your loot, and engage in various illicit activities. These dens come equipped with banks, repair stations, and travel planners to keep you on the move.

They've created a Smuggler’s Network, a new trading system that connects the Outlands in unique ways. This allows you to move goods without the usual taxes and hassles from the Royal Continent, although you'll need to pay a fee to the Smugglers.

The Smugglers now have their own faction, offering missions to prove your loyalty. You might find yourself tracking down stolen Smuggler Crates from ambushed wagons or rescuing captured Smugglers from the Royal Guards. Completing these tasks earns you Smuggler’s Coins, which you can use to advance your standing within their ranks.

Let’s Look Beyond the Smuggler Action

The Rogue Frontier Update doesn't stop at the Smugglers. It also introduces several long-awaited features to Albion Online. The new Bank Overview feature lets you easily track where all your items are stored across the game world, eliminating the need to remember where you stashed that rare loot.

For PvP enthusiasts, Kill Trophies have been added, allowing you to immortalize your best battles. The Albion Journal now includes a Creatures category, challenging you to document the various beasts roaming the wild.

Additionally, three new Crystal Weapons have been introduced, tailored for explorers, traders, and fighters. To experience all these new additions, grab Albion Online from the Google Play Store and dive into the Rogue Frontier update.
