NCSoft pushed AION2 into a new phase on November 11, raising the level cap from 50 to 55 and opening Chapter 1’s second story, Chapter 1: The Boundary Between Light and Veil. The update also expanded the Eltenen and Morghaim Part 2 region, added 20 sealed dungeons, 20 main quests and introduced housing.
Moon Byeong-do outlined the changes at NCSoft’s AION2 1st Anniversary event at the Yangjae aT Center, where more than 10,000 users visited the venue. For players searching AION 2 patch notes today, the headline is simple: the game’s progression ceiling moved up, and the world around it got bigger with new quests, new regions and a housing system that can be bought permanently for 1 million Kinara.
The dungeon update is the part likely to matter longest. NCSoft said dungeons will move from Expedition to Sanctuary under a tiered system, with a point-based guaranteed reward system layered on top. That means the activity is being rebuilt around repeated runs rather than a single clear, but the company did not spell out the exact stat thresholds that separate tiers or how the rewards differ between them.
Housing adds another layer to the same update. Players can decorate territory, invite up to 40 guests and turn the feature into something more social than cosmetic. NCSoft also said one free server transfer per account will be supported on November 18, though it did not say whether any other limits or restrictions will apply beyond that single transfer.
The larger anniversary plan does not stop with November. NCSoft said the 10-player Sanctuary Fortress of Ascension, Erek, will arrive in January, while a commemorative coupon will stay usable until March 3 next year. The coupon’s contents were not specified, leaving one of the update’s most practical rewards still unlisted even as the rest of the patch moves quickly into place.
