ABOUT AION 2
The Only MMORPG Where the Sky Itself is the Battlefield
Rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5, AION 2 is the definitive evolution of AION, set in a world more than 36 times larger than the original. In AION 2, flight is more than a means of travel. It is the foundation of combat itself. Claim the high ground, seize tactical advantages, and dominate the battlefield in exhilarating three-dimensional aerial battles. Break free from rigid skill rotations and experience combat where positioning, timing, and precise control determine victory.
AION 2 delivers an immense scale of PvE content. With more than 200 dungeons, massive raids, and the Abyss, where Elyos and Asmodians clash in an endless conflict, every encounter presents new challenges and unforgettable experiences. Alongside these adventures, AION 2 features the most advanced character customization system ever seen in an MMORPG, giving you hundreds of options to create a hero that is truly your own.
Take to the skies of Atreia and discover a world filled with endless adventures and experiences waiting to unfold.
