In 2018, developer NC announced it was working on AION 2, a free-to-play sequel that promised to expand on the foundation laid by its predecessor.

However, the passage of time means these regions have changed quite a bit. Time has also caused Aether to grow more and more rare, making it difficult for Daevas to survive. Aether is the essence that allowed humans to turn into more powerful Daevas, and you play as one of them. So even if you’re experienced with the world of AION, the world has changed enough that you’ll find it a new and dangerous place.</p><p></p><p><a href="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/06/03/wallpaper-h-02-20-1780511137184.png" target="_blank"><img src="https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2026/06/03/wallpaper-h-02-20-1780511137184.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a></p><p>Combat has expanded and evolved from the original game’s foundation.
