Joseph Update Set to Deploy on September 27th

Albion Online will be receiving its first major update since launching in July when "Joseph" goes live on September 27th. Anchoring the update is the new Arena Mode that pits teams of five against one another in a control point style match. Players can enter the arena via random matchmaking or with friends, guildmates or queue solo. The winning team will score Arena Sigils that can be traded with others or used to purchase rewards.

Other notable components of Joseph include:

• Treasure Sites - ten locations throughout all zones where players can collect silver and duke it out with ghosts and each other to score currency for success.
• Eternal Battle Expedition - players will work to push out an undead army to make the city habitable again
• Three Sisters Expedition - find a missing Royal Guard and take on three sisters of the Morgana cult
• Smart Cast - "Based on their play style, players can choose between two variants. With "Quick Cast on Button Press", ground-targeted abilities will be cast in the direction of the cursor when pressing the respective skill button. Or, with the "Quick Cast on Button Release" setting, a spell area indicator will appear at the position of the mouse when pressing and holding an ability key. When the pressed key is released, the ability will be cast. The "Normal Spell Cast" will remain as the default setting"
• UI/UX improvements
• Five new abilities for bows, daggers, cursed staves, swords and spears at Tier 5

You can look for all of this and more when Joseph launches on September 27th.
