Aion 2, which officially launched on the 9th, only ranked 37th on the Google Play top-grossing chart on its debut day — an unusually low performance for a new title backed by a primary IP.

NCsoft, however, clarified that app store rankings do not fully reflect actual revenue scale. A company representative stated: “Since its official launch, Aion 2 has maintained a daily active user (DAU) count of over 1.5 million.”

Analysts attribute the low mobile top-grossing ranking to users heavily favouring the PC platform. Aion 2 launched with a dedicated PC payment system alongside its release. According to official figures, over 90% of payment revenue currently comes from PC, which is not included in Google Play or Apple App Store sales statistics.

Notably, on the 18th — one day before the official server launch — Aion 2 topped the popularity charts on both major app markets and set record-high download figures.

As the first title released under the co-CEO leadership of Kim Ze-jin and Park Byung-moo, Aion 2 retains the original game's core heaven clan vs. demon race confrontation setting. Leveraging Unreal Engine 5 for stunning visuals and a manual combat system with post-hit judgment, the game is aggressively targeting the Southeast Asia market and the Korean market.
