Revision 1

This page collects the five weekly update notes NCsoft published for AION 2 in December 2025, its first full month on the Korean and Taiwanese service. The month opened with PvE and PvP combat status modes and season caps on Abyss Points, then brought the cross-server World Market, Sync Stones, a Hard difficulty for Expedition Conquest, a new daily dungeon and several large rounds of class changes, alongside the Christmas and New Year events. These are changes to the Korean and Taiwanese service only; the global service launched separately on October 5, 2026 and is not described by these notes. See Update History for the wider timeline, Patch Notes: November 2025 for launch month and Patch Notes: January 2026 for what came next.
