Evaluation

AION 2 entered full commercial launch on October 5, 2026, after its Advanced Access period ran from September 30 to October 4, 2026. The developer confirmed the global launch went ahead on schedule. The game is free to play and sells items through an in-game shop, and a Season 1 item is on sale until December 15, 2026. Since launch, the developer has posted a temporary maintenance notice and a resolved EU cloud outage on October 8, 2026, and the October 7, 2026 patch notes added shop items, fixes, and Founder's Pack changes. Server transfers are scheduled to open on October 14, 2026, and the developer has said Founder's Pack cosmetics will be available on all characters, with the final implementation to be completed after the Early Access period ends. Because this is an ongoing online world built around seasonal content and shop items, it is expected to keep receiving new content rather than reaching a fixed final state.

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.

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.

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.

From solo instances to large-scale raids, AION 2 PvE is built around scale and variety. Over 200 dungeons span multiple formats: solo challenges, 5-player party content, and 10-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.

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. 

The Shugo Festival brings a variety of mini-games to Atreia. Protect the Shugos from waves of enemies, race pets against other players, dodge lasers, and more. Earn unique rewards including wings, skins, pets, and décor!
