NC has announced that its MMORPG AION 2 will launch this September globally for PC via Steam. AION 2 was originally released in November 2025 in Korea and Taiwan to critical and commercial success, and soon, global audiences will be able to play with servers in North and South America, Europe, and Asia with support for up to 10 languages.
Here’s an overview of the game, via Steam:
The sky is not the limit. It is the battlefield.
Built on Unreal Engine 5 across a world 36 times larger than the original AION, this is the only MMORPG built for aerial combat. Verticality is in the DNA of AION 2, and rewards players who can think, and fight, in 3 dimensions.
Flight & Freedom
Every region, every battlefield, every encounter was designed with verticality as its axis. As a Daeva, flight is not a travel mechanic, it is how you fight, how you explore, and how you impose your will on the world. Gain altitude to gain advantage, and experience a scale of aerial combat unlike any other MMORPG.
Accelerated Combat Tempo
Precision, timing, and positioning shape every battle. Chain skills seamlessly, customize your class to fit your playstyle, and adapt as encounters escalate. Every fight is a decision, not a rotation.
Dungeons, Raids and Beyond
From solo instances to large-scale raids, AION 2 PvE is built around scale and variety. Over 200 dungeons span multiple formats: solo challenges, 4-player party content, and 8-player group dungeons. Seasonal challenges, competitive rankings, and open-world events keep the excitement high, and the Abyss ensures that PvE and faction war are never far apart.
Deep Character Customization
Bring your vision to life with one of the most advanced character creation systems in an MMORPG. With over 200 customization options and countless outfits, mounts, and wings to collect, your character becomes a true expression of who you are.
