Rogue Frontier Update: Albion Online Introduces Smuggler Faction

Albion Online has kicked off 2025 with a thrilling update named Rogue Frontier, embracing the theme of living on the edge. This update introduces a brand-new faction, innovative trading methods, and an array of new weapons, allowing players to join an underground network of outcasts who live by their own rules.

The Smugglers are the epitome of rebellion and nonconformity, tired of the Royal Continent’s stringent regulations. They've established their base in the lawless wilds, creating hidden Smuggler’s Dens where players can establish bases, store loot, and engage in a variety of underground activities. These dens are equipped with banks, repair stations, and travel planners, ensuring you're always on the move.

The Smuggler’s Network introduces a revolutionary trading system that links the Outlands in novel ways. This allows players to transport goods without the usual taxes and bureaucratic hurdles of the Royal Continent, albeit at a cost to the Smugglers. Joining the Smugglers' Faction, players can undertake missions to demonstrate their loyalty, such as recovering stolen Smuggler Crates from ambushed wagons or rescuing captured Smugglers from the Royal Guards. Completing these missions earns Smuggler’s Coins, which can be used to advance within the faction's ranks.

Let’s Look Beyond the Smuggler Action

The Rogue Frontier Update brings more than just the Smuggler experience. A new Bank Overview feature allows players to track their items across the game world, eliminating the hassle of forgetting where you stashed that rare loot. For PvP enthusiasts, Kill Trophies now immortalize your most epic battles, while the Albion Journal's new Creatures category challenges you to document the diverse fauna of the wilds.

Additionally, three new Crystal Weapons cater to explorers, traders, and fighters alike. Dive into these new features by downloading Albion Online from the Google Play Store and explore the Rogue Frontier update firsthand.
