What does the new trailer reveal? In the new trailer for AION 2, the developers announced the release date of the MMORPG: The game is set to be released in September 2026 in the West. The MMORPG from NCSoft was already launched in November 2025 in South Korea and Taiwan.

NC Soft did not specify an exact date for when AION 2 will be released.

Otherwise, the trailer is a typical hype video: It features some action sequences and various combat scenes that give an impression of the game’s combat system with colorful effects.
