11 The Abyss Rift Zone is a scheduled event inside the Abyss on the Korean service, added on June 17, 2026. Bosses appear in phases over the session, and the two sides score points by killing them. It is entered through the Abyss window when the event is active. The English name matches the game client's English label for the zone's map; NCsoft has not used it in an English announcement as of October 7, 2026. As of October 7, 2026, NCsoft has not said whether it runs on the global servers.
