AION Classic EU (PC)

Major Update “Dominance” Announced

Very soon, AION Classic EU players can expect the major “Dominance” update, introducing new dungeons, epic battles, and many valuable rewards. Daevas should gather their most powerful faction friends and prepare for an epic battle between Elyos and Asmodians.

Features of AION Classic EU 2.8.5 “Dominance”:

• Apheta Beluslan Fortress: Tiamat’s Fortress, now a dangerous battlefield, becomes an arena for Elyos and Asmodians on Sundays at 10 PM. Victory grants access to the new dungeons “Wall of Sorrow” and “Tartarus,” where valuable relics await players.
   
• Wall of Sorrow: A challenging 4-person dungeon for players level 58 and above. Teamwork is crucial to defeating the powerful enemy Samael and obtaining valuable PvE weapons.
   
• Tartarus: A dungeon for groups of 2 to 6 players. Only the faction controlling the Apheta Beluslan Fortress can access it for free. The opposing faction must purchase Time Fragments to gain entry.

The update offers new challenges and high-quality rewards for both PvP and PvE players. Watch the “Dominance” expansion trailer here.
