AION 2 launched globally on October 5, 2026, according to the game’s official global teaser. Korea and Taiwan had an earlier regional launch on November 19, 2025. This FAQ covers what the game is, what players can do, where to check platform and PC details, and what is known about access and monetization.
What is AION 2?
AION 2 is NCSoft’s MMORPG sequel and continuation of the AION franchise. Its official descriptions feature the Elyos and Asmodians, eight classes, customizable characters, manual combat, exploration-focused PvE, and Unreal Engine 5 graphics. Those are developer feature descriptions, not independent assessments of performance or quality. The current global site also highlights chained skills, flight, and exploration.
