The extraction dungeon genre continues to captivate both players and developers, and the latest evidence of this trend is the upcoming Abyssal Depths update for Albion Online, set to launch on June 30th. This major update introduces the thrilling new Abyssal Dungeons, which players can access via the Antiquarian's Den. These dungeons offer a PvP-focused experience, where groups of two or three players will navigate and combat the monsters lurking in areas like Caerleon, all while racing against time to escape before the dungeon collapses.
This extraction format echoes the success of games like Dark and Darker, showcasing the genre's growing popularity. However, the Abyssal Depths update is not just about the new dungeons; it also aims to enhance the overall experience for new players. A significant improvement is the integration of the post-tutorial experience into the existing Albion Journal, providing a smoother onboarding process for those new to Albion Online.
Alongside the dungeons, the update will feature a range of quality-of-life enhancements, including UI updates and additional interactive tutorial elements. To stay informed about these exciting changes, players can watch a series of developer talks, with the first one linked above, which will detail all the new features arriving on June 30th.
