Dimensional Invasion (차원 침공) is an open-world event in AION 2. It breaks out at random in each faction's own territory, and many players join to defeat waves of incoming enemies and a boss. The game's own mission text calls it Dimensional Invasion. A system message announces each invasion to everyone, and its location appears as an icon on the world map, with a panel giving details of the selected invasion.
Rule | On the Korean and Taiwanese service |
|---|---|
Schedule | At half past every hour (since April 8, 2026; before that it started on the hour) |
Joining | No limit on how often you take part. Since July 1, 2026 each invasion plays out in its own separate map rather than in the open field; the entry window is three minutes (since December 3, 2025) |
Rewards | A clear reward for everyone, plus extra rewards by contribution rank. The guidebook gives a cap of 2 reward claims a day and 14 a week |
Minimum contribution | Since April 8, 2026 a contribution score under 100 earns no reward, and 100 or more grants three reward picks regardless of rank |
Reward keys | The number of invasion reward keys counts per server since April 22, 2026 |
Restrictions | Cannot be entered while taking part in a Spacetime Rift (since July 29, 2026) |
Monster cubes earned from Dimensional Invasion and the Shugo Festival can be set to extract equipment automatically (since March 25, 2026), and since September 9, 2026 selecting the entry icon shows the invasion's title and rewards before you commit.
The Korean update notes name three invasion scenarios. None has a published English name yet, so they are given here in descriptive English with the Korean.

Korean seasonal events have also used invasions as a mission step, paying event coins for one participation. Player guides note participation achievements that award titles, but NCsoft has not published their thresholds.
NCsoft has not published Dimensional Invasion rules for the global service as of October 7, 2026, so the schedule and caps above describe the Korean and Taiwanese service.
Shugo Festival for the other recurring field event. Field Bosses for the open-world bosses. Abyss Points for one of the rewards.
