"Albion Online Unveils Rogue Frontier Update with New Challenges Today"

Ah, rogues. Depending on who you ask, they're either the class of choice for the smart and cunning or a complete pain in the backside. But there's no denying that within the realm of gaming, the classic rogueish activities of criminality and skullduggery are great fun. And Albion Online agrees, which is why the new Rogue Frontier update lets you live out your skulking fantasies in style.

The main highlight of the Rogue Frontier update is the introduction of the Smuggler faction. With the new Smuggler's Dens, solo and small-scale players now have the perfect base of operations in the Outlands. This empowers them to evade their more powerfully-armed peers and carve out their own slice of the criminal underworld.

The Smuggler's Network introduces an exciting Outlands market system where you can sneak your ill-gotten goods to this faction for enhanced rewards. Plus, new Smuggler activities provide even more opportunities for skullduggery amongst aspiring ne'er-do-wells. Whether you're smuggling contraband or engaging in other shady dealings, the thrill of the underworld awaits.

Sneaky sneaky, slicey throatyBut don't worry, front-facing players, there's plenty for you too. The new Bank overview system lets you track your loot wherever it's stored, while three new Crystal weapons and a journal category to track encountered creatures add depth to your adventures. The Rogue Frontier update truly has something for everyone.

Given the focus on constant conflict in survival MMOs like Albion Online, it's refreshing to see more options for players who want to actively avoid conflict. The risk and reward element here is just as exciting; after all, trying to evade those who'd risk your ill-gotten gains for a bigger payday is as pulse-pounding as a head-on assault against monsters.
