From now through July 10th, anyone who has yet to purchase a Founder’s Pack will want to do so. On July 9th, beta servers will go dark to prepare for launch on July 17th, though Founder’s Packs can be purchased through July 10th.

When Albion Online launches in July, it will come with five world bosses based on resources. These bosses will require coordination and cooperation of a raid-sized group of players to bring down but it will all be worth it. When each one is killed, the corpse turns into a resource node that gives players 2,560 Tier-6 crafting resources!

Albion Online has been updated with the final major addition prior to the game’s release on July 17th. Called “Hector”, the update brings a number of big features into the game including the Black Market, new Hellgates, Outlands improvements, new mounts, Destiny Board UI improvements and much more.

The Albion Online development team has sent out a new trailer laying out some of the details about the upcoming Black Market addition to the game. It is one of the more unique aspects of the next patch, and one that is sure to please crafters and looters alike.

The Albion Online team has sent word that the Hector update will be live on all servers beginning June 7th. It will be the last update prior to the game’s official launch on July 17th. Hector brings a number of big changes to the game including the new Black Market vendor, a massive overhaul of the Outlands and much more.

The Albion Online team has announced that The Hellgates combined PvP / PvE zone will be receiving a “facelift” according to Sandbox Interactive. One example is that the map and mob encounters have been redesigned so that PvP runs more smoothly and so that random monsters do not play a role in the outcome.

Sandbox Interactive has released a great new infographic to show off some pretty impressive stats from the Albion Online beta. Numbers include over 210k Founders taking part in 2.8M hours of game time to name just a couple. The data was compiled since the release of the Galahad update and between March 13 and April 9. The numbers will only continue to go up through the game’s official launch in July.

Sandbox Interactive has sent out an ambitious road map that paves the way for the July 2017 release of Albion Online. Significant updates will be applied to item drops and the in-game economy as well as improvements made to Hell Gates to create picture perfect PvP moments.

The Albion Online team is ready to unveil some of the new Gatherer Equipment that will be of high value to those players who are out picking up resources to create new items. Specific gear is available for harvesters, lumberjacks, miners, quarriers and skinners that will provide significant bonuses when equipped during resource collection.

MMORPG.com has been provided with a couple of Albion Online beta keys to give away.
