Snow has fallen and deer have appeared in Albion Online

Winter has arrived not only in the real world, but also in the fairy-tale universe of MMORPG Albion Online from Sandbox Interactive. On this occasion, the developers have prepared the largest update since the November release of «Rift of Worlds». Gamers can expect adventures in snowy locations, Yuletide adventurer trials, competition for New Year's prizes, admiring a decorated Christmas tree, and another referral season that will allow you to saddle the most noble mount. Let's talk in more detail about what else fans of «Albion» can do on the eve of 2026.

Creating a festive atmosphere in a game — quite a difficult task. It's not enough to hang garlands and place Christmas trees with burning stars on top. You also need to think about gifts and special quests for users so that everyone is interested. Until December 24, every hero is entitled to daily login rewards — to receive them, it's enough to visit the web store once a day at noon. In addition, throughout the entire month, «Races for Glory» will be held — an excellent opportunity to achieve set goals in missions and level up your characters. Those who complete adventurer trials these days will be able to earn an avatar frame and a mount in the form of a Snow Husky — the «Hunter's Instinct» ability temporarily makes the dog faster.

As for the referral season, its conditions remain the same: a friend you invite must create an account and activate a month of premium for you to receive a reward. This time it's about a skin for the «Festive Deer» mount — on the animal's back is a saddle with white fur trim, and its horns are decorated with burning candles, leaves, and berries. For a larger number of clicks on the referral link, you can get hundreds of thousands of fame points and a decent sum of gold coins.
