AION 2
Wiki
AION 2 is NC's open-world MMORPG where the world is 36 times bigger than the original and flight is not travel - it is how you fight. Pick Elyos or Asmodian, become a Daeva, and take the faction war into the Abyss. This wiki checks every claim against official pages and marks what is still only a creator report.

AION 2 FAQ
Release, platforms, classes, dungeons, monetization and PC specs - every answer traces back to an official page.

October 5, 2026 worldwide, on PC only - Steam and PURPLE. A Founder's Pack gets you in five days earlier, from September 30.
See the full timelineCan I play it on PS5 or mobile?
Launch is PC only. NC's development PD confirmed a PS5 version is in development but gave no date. Mobile exists only in Korea and Taiwan; the global version officially has none.
See platform statusHow many classes are there?
The official Korean class guide says eight. Global launch is expected to be those eight. The ninth, Brawler, shipped only in Korea and Taiwan.
See the class listWill Brawler be in the global launch?
NC has published no global roster as of September 18, 2026. Creators who play the Korea/Taiwan service believe global launches with eight and no Brawler - but that is a creator report, not an official announcement.

Minimum is Ryzen 5 2600 / i5-10500, 8 GB RAM and GTX 1050 Ti (4GB). Recommended is Ryzen 7 3700X / i7-11700, 16 GB and RTX 2070 (8GB). Both tiers need 100 GB and both recommend an SSD.

See the full breakdownAre the Founder's Packs worth it?
All three include five days of early access, a supply chest, a unique title and 30 days of membership. The extra tiers are entirely cosmetics - no power. Worth it only if you want those looks or the day-one head start.
Compare the three tiersIs there another beta I can join?
No. The only test was the Launch Scale Test on September 17-18, six hours a day, no keys, progress wiped. The only way to play earlier now is Founder's Pack early access.
