In a live broadcast on May 26 (Tue), NC introduced upcoming Aion 2 updates, including a new Sanctuary, new 'Brooch' equipment, and a wing enhancement system.

The broadcast, featuring PD Kim Namjoon and Director So In-seop, introduced the new Sanctuary raid content, 'Muspel's Holy Grail.' Players can obtain materials for new 'Dragon-forged/Dragon-slaying' gear and the new 'Brooch' accessory here. To encourage active participation, the entry limit for the new Sanctuary has been removed, and the first force to clear it will receive exclusive pets and titles.

The new 'Brooch' accessory is also being added, with two new slots available for equipping them separately from existing gear. Fabled-grade brooches can be crafted, while Unique-grade ones can be obtained in the new Sanctuary. Equipping two Fabled-grade brooches increases item level by 200, and content to upgrade Unique brooches to Hero-grade is planned for Season 4.

Regarding rumors from the Taiwan conference circulating among users, the team stated that many details remain unconfirmed and will be revealed at the June 14 showcase. They also issued a stern warning regarding unauthorized DPS meters, stating they take the sharing of private data without consent very seriously and are considering legal action if the issue is not resolved by the weekend.
