Is AION 2 coming?
Yes — AION 2 is on the way. Developed by NCsoft, this next‑generation MMORPG is the official successor to their earlier hit IP, Aion. The game is built using Unreal Engine 5, featuring a massive world (said to be 36 times larger than the original), with complete freedom of flight, land, and sea exploration.
According to official announcements, the Korean and Taiwanese releases will be on 19 November 2025.
Who will publish AION 2?
The game is developed and published by NCsoft. Their official newsroom states that NCsoft announced the launch date itself.
In the Taiwan region, the homepage lists “Licensed to NC Taiwan Co., Ltd.” — indicating NCsoft’s regional subsidiary is handling local operations.
Will AION 2 be free?
Yes — AION 2 will adopt a free‑to‑play model. According to sources, the game allows for free download and play, with monetization via optional subscriptions, seasonal passes, and cosmetic items.
For example, the business model includes membership and pass systems, as well as cosmetic items such as costumes, weapon skins, pets, and wings, along with currency exchanges between in-game gold and premium currency.
Can you play AION 2?
When and where you can play it:
- Launch dates for Korea and Taiwan: 19 November 2025.
