Albion Online characters stand before a sign reading “Dragonslayers Wanted” for the Royal Hunt beginning 31 August.

Albion Online is recruiting dragonslayers for its upcoming Royal Hunt, with the initiative beginning on August 31. The playful recruitment notice appeared in the game’s official Steam announcement and asks content creators to help defend the open world from a new wave of dragons.

The Royal Cities are partnering with Dragonwing Solutions, a security company that claims to operate across five biomes. Its pitch borrows heavily from office jargon, including a tongue-in-cheek “Slaying as a Service” approach to dragon protection. No previous dragonslaying experience is required, which is comforting news for anyone whose résumé currently contains more gathering than heroics.

What the Royal Hunt asks of players

Successful applicants will be expected to create and manage their own guilds, organize hunts from the planning stage through execution, work toward weekly KPIs, and document both their victories and failures during regular review sessions.

The initiative is aimed at fearless content creators with a minimum of 50 CCV. The announcement also calls for players who can handle high-pressure situations and maintain professional conduct. In other words, the dragons can do the flaming; the hunters should probably keep things civil.

Loot, giveaways, and a silver reward

Those who take part can earn loot and the respect of Albion’s citizens. Dragonwing Solutions is also offering a benefits package built around giveaways for participating communities, along with the chance to earn an exclusive coin made from 100% physical silver.

The Royal Hunt begins on the same August 31 date as the scheduled Dragonfire update, which will open the Ancient Lands and introduce more dragon-focused content. Players interested in applying can submit their details through the application form.

Albion Online is a free-to-play sandbox MMORPG set in a medieval fantasy world inspired by Arthurian legends. The game uses a classless system where a player's equipped gear determines their abilities and playstyle. Items span eight tiers and are entirely player-crafted, forming a fully player-driven economy. The open world features zones with varying levels of PvP risk, from safe areas to full-loot zones where defeated players lose their equipment. Players can join guilds of up to 300 members to fight over territories and castles in large-scale battles. The game also offers PvE combat and various gathering and crafting activities.
