SUMMER FESTA and membership changes

On 17 June 2026, NCSOFT laid out Chapter 1 before shipping it — and made the change most players care about: "Membership offerings will be consolidated into a single tier with a reduced subscription price." The same announcement named the content coming with the update: the Brawler class, the regions Eltnen and Morheim, four dungeons, an Expedition: Ordeal mode, Chaotic Upper Reshanta, Spacetime Rift: Domination, Battlefield: Siege and Outlands. It has not been announced for the Western release.

This is the pre-announcement of Chapter 1, which NCSOFT scheduled here for 1 July 2026 — the delivery announcement is dated 6 July, five days later. Its dungeon list: "New Expedition dungeons, Citadel of the Fallen Daeva and Consumed Deus Research Base… along with an Expedition: Ordeal mode… The Transcendence dungeons, Noiran’s Hidden Legacy and Abyssal Horn Den, as well as the Sanctuary dungeon, Snowfield of Sorrow, will also be updated." It also promised "20 new Sealed Dungeons and six new Strongholds" across the two new regions.

The comparison between this announcement and the delivery of 6 July 2026 is the most instructive on the site. Announced here: four dungeons plus Ordeal mode. Named in the delivery: Citadel of the Fallen Daeva and Abyssal Horn Den, with entry requirements. Consumed Deus Research Base, Noiran’s Hidden Legacy and Snowfield of Sorrow do not appear in the delivery announcement. That is why every page on this site distinguishes announced from delivered. On the commercial side: membership consolidated into one cheaper tier, and special-grade costumes and pets made shareable server-wide.

Before anything else: this applies to the Korean service, and NCSOFT has published nothing about the Western launch of 30 September 2026. The mistake this page exists to prevent is treating a pre-announcement as a delivery note. Three of the dungeons named here have no delivery announcement, and the date given here — 1 July — was not the date it shipped. For anyone weighing the game’s monetisation, the membership consolidation into a single cheaper tier is a dated fact about the Korean service — and the global equivalent was confirmed eight days later, in the official video of 25 June 2026: a single membership at 15 US dollars a month.
