Crowdfunded indie PvP sandbox Albion Online technically launched last summer, finding so much initial success that its servers were hammered and it even suffered a round of extortion-centered DDOS attacks before settling into a scaled-down MMO live team and playerbase. So it may surprise you to realize it never came to Steam, in spite of the fact that it was Greenlit on the platform four years ago.
But that’s about to change. Sandbox Interactive announced this morning that the game is ready to head to Valve land.
“Albion has been coming along nicely in the past months,” the studio writes. “The Lancelot update has been especially well-received by our community, and we feel the game is now in a great place to open it up to the broader Steam audience in order to build on the steady growth we’ve seen since the Kay update in December. Bringing in new players will not only make the world feel more alive and populated, but also allow for plenty of new economic opportunities, PvP matches, and social connections to be made.”
No launch date yet, but we’ll keep you posted.
