Hi all,

in the past, many of you have mentioned that it’s not yet entirely clear what the world of Albion really is about, who the different factions are and why players should populate it – in short, you wanted to have a more detailed lore.

Today, we are very proud to announce that we have kicked-off a project where we are working on exactly that. To make it happen, we have partnered with the published UK fantasy author Peter Newman (author of „The Vagrant“, published by HarperCollins).

Within the next few months, we will work out a lot of detailed stories and background information about the history of Albion, the different factions populating it and how their relationship is among each other. You always wanted to know what’s behind the craze of the Heretics or why you are starting out on Albion’s shores as an almost naked castaway? We’ll soon give you all the answers!

The Albion Online Novel

But there is more! Peter will not only support us with fine-tuning the lore but will also write a full-blown novel about the world of Albion for you to read and enjoy! While storyline and action shall still remain a secret, the book will surely shed some light on a lot of Albion’s mysteries and follow some interesting characters as they explore the world.

The novel is scheduled to appear in 2016 and will give you a great opportunity to roam and delve into the lands of Albion even when taking some time off from playing the game itself.

On the way, we’ll of course keep you updated on the progress of the book and may even leak a few spoilers to you here and there.
