SEOUL, November 18 (AJP) - South Korea's leading game company NCSoft said Tuesday it will launch Aion 2, its new flagship multiplayer online role-playing game, in South Korea and Taiwan at midnight on Nov. 19, positioning the title as a major addition to its 2024–25 pipeline.
Players can pre-install the game through NCSoft’s cross-platform service, Purple, ahead of the release.
Aion 2 follows the company’s long-running PC franchise Aion, which built a strong global fan base with its fantasy setting and aerial combat system. The sequel seeks to expand the original universe, retaining its core features — a rivalry between two factions and eight combat classes — while updating the overall design for modern platforms.
Built on Unreal Engine 5, the game offers enhanced graphics and supports exploration across land, air and underwater environments. It also introduces action-focused combat, a broader range of hunting and adventure content and more detailed character customization, reflecting NCSoft’s efforts to sharpen its competitiveness in the global MMORPG market.
“Aion 2 embodies the ideal world envisioned by the original, where players can walk, fly and swim endlessly,” said Baek Seung-wook, the game’s executive producer.
