Albion Lands Awakened graphics on mobile


True to their promise, the developers of Albion Online released their fantastic Lands Awakened update today, full of richer graphics, new weaponry and more fun gameplay. 

Albion Online Lands Awakened

The release did not go off without a hitch. For the past two weeks gamers noticed increased lag as the old version was being replaced. Today's update brought problems with dictating messages in game and  another bug or two in messaging and gamepley. That is a small price to pay for the stunning visuals and other improvements brought to the medieval fantasy world of Albion Online. 

This richly faceted MMORPG is available on a wide range of desktop and mobile devices from the same account. If you have not tried Albion, what are you waiting for? You can buy an island and build a home that you can build and it can never by attacked. You can raise animals or farm. You can go into dungeons and fight mobs to win loot. You can go into dangerous zones on missions where you can be attacked Players choose whether to do PvP or PvE whenever they want.
