NC Japan K.K. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Jong-su Kang), which operates and services Lineage M, the mobile version of the PC online RPG "Lineage," announces the launch of two new pieces of limited-time content on September 16, 2026 (Wednesday): the popular mini-game "Twilight Mountain Defense" and the battle-royale PVP content "Ziggurat."
Twilight Mountain Defense
Event Period
September 16, 2026 (Wednesday) after regular maintenance to October 7, 2026 (Wednesday) before regular maintenance
Overview
During the event period, the limited-time mini-game "Twilight Mountain Defense" appears under Menu > Dungeon > Season Dungeon.
"Twilight Mountain Defense" is a defense game in which players must keep defeating monsters that continue to spawn at set intervals so that the number of monsters on the field never reaches its limit.
Players can use "Monster Crystals" earned by defeating monsters to summon allied heroes, and "Treasures" to help their progress.
Allied heroes can be merged or combined to summon even more powerful allied heroes.
This run adds two new allied heroes and a favorites feature on the combination screen for allied heroes, among other updates.
The game is played in matches of four players. When multiple players clear the dungeon, rankings are decided based on factors such as the number of monsters defeated, and the top three players receive additional rewards.
The "Proof of an Aden Hero" earned as a dungeon-clear reward can also be used to craft a variety of items, including the "Fragment Box of the Dominion Stone (Event)."
Place your allied heroes strategically and defend all 25 waves to earn rewards.

Ziggurat is solo content in which heroes from all servers gather to fight without server restrictions.
Levels, stats, skills, and transformations are all unified, and the only items players carry are supplies used within Ziggurat, creating fair conditions where the last player standing wins.
