The island of Great Britain has undergone invasion and occupations from armies and empires throughout its storied history, from the Romans when it became Britannia, to the French in 1066 following the Battle of Hastings. Great Britain's oldest name is Albion, meaning "upper world," and that name is a testament to the land’s endurance, a stark contrast to the underworld.
Now the upper-world of Albion has become a battleground again, but this time the threat comes from the sky.
The time has come to defend or seize the Skies of Albion, and secure air supremacy for your chosen faction. Fly for either Allied or Axis forces in the skies of Britain every day to win prizes from Gold and Premium Account time to a series of brand new warplanes.
A new Skies of Albion themed Hangar, introduced in the latest update, will greet pilots as they start the game, and it will have two states: peacetime and wartime. When a player logs in, the hangar will be in the peacetime state, with a countdown to wartime appearing in the hangar, leading to a confrontation between factions after the player aligns with either the Allies or Axis.
When you play standard battles (tier IV minimum), every victory accomplished will add to a counter for your faction. At the end of confrontations, players on both sides will receive loot boxes, though the winning team will be rewarded with bigger prizes. These loot crates can also be purchased during the event.
Fly in confrontations and rack up victories to win loot boxes packed with fantastic prizes, including:
Complete Special Missions earned throughout the Skies of Albion event to earn new warplanes from a new branch of British multirole fighters, and a new branch of German bombers:
The following aircraft can also be obtained through loot box spoils throughout the Skies of Albion event:
