Here are some of the insights posted on Albion Online’s official site.

Developing the Mobile Version
Creating Albion's mobile version presented several unique challenges:
- Making complex features accessible with the limited space available on mobile screens
- Adapting controls from mouse to touch controls to ensure mobile players can compete with PC players
- Optimizing memory usage and performance to run in the significantly more limited hardware environment of mobile devices
They also posted the launch details of the game for tomorrow including the rewards players will get once they logged in with their account in the game.
