Dungeon Live Gameplay Showcase — reported details

JeuxOnLine published on 6 September 2026 a recap of the 4 September 2026 [AION 2] Dungeon Live Gameplay Showcase on the AION 2 Official YouTube channel. This page records the recap as REPORTED, not as an NCSOFT written statement; the article has not yet been independently reviewed by this site. It reports a level cap of 45 for the Western launch, a cap of 37 for the September Launch Scale Test, and no Heroic gear in Season 1. It also reports Expeditions opening through levelling around levels 20, 28 and 35, with Exploration and Conquest modes, three tiers and no timer in those modes; Urugugu Canyon and Fire Temple are named examples. The event video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_TjiOh33a4 and the written recap is https://www.jeuxonline.info/actualite/66435/il-faut-retenir-livestream-4-septembre-aion-2. This site does not turn untranscribed video images into established facts.

This is a new dated event, distinct from the earlier Gamescom appearance and the Launch Scale Test announcement. The Gamescom page had reported that a dungeon gameplay livestream was planned; the official channel now carries the showcase, and the JeuxOnLine recap reports what it presented. The recap also reports Bound Kina rewards of 200,000, 300,000 and 400,000 by tier, pets and mounts obtainable through dungeon farming, boss Stagger and resurrection mechanics, one-shot mechanics in Tier 3, and optional cross-faction dungeon matchmaking. These are useful reported leads, but no written NCSOFT notice opened in this passage confirms them. The official Steam date of 5 October 2026 and the official 17–18 September test dates remain separate established records.

For a reader preparing for the Western launch, use this page as reported planning context, not as a confirmed rules reference. The reported distinction between a level-37 test and a level-45 launch is worth checking against the next official launch notes. The report suggests separate preparation for Exploration, Conquest and Transcendence, and says that boss mechanics may matter more than raw gear in Tier 3; both points need a dated primary confirmation before they become advice. Do not publish the Kina values, Stagger behaviour, one-shot conditions or matchmaking scope as established facts while this independent review is pending. The recap gives no livestream timezone and no public downloadable build.

This page prevents three common mistakes. First, a recap of an official stream is not the same as a written publisher notice: the facts here remain REPORTED and independent review of the article is still pending. Second, the 37-level test cap must not be confused with the reported 45-level launch cap. Third, a showcase or a hands-off presentation is not a public demo or a downloadable build. The article and the official video are linked above for traceability; no publisher quotation is translated, and no Western availability beyond the dated official launch record is inferred.
