How is Aion 2 related to its predecessor? Aion 2 is set around 200 years after Aion 1, and this time the focus will also be on your stylish wings. The developers themselves refer to Aion 2 as the “full version of Aion” because they were finally able to implement everything back then that was impossible due to technical limits, about 10 years after the first part.

How much bigger will Aion 2 be? According to the developers, the game world will be about 36 times larger than its predecessor. That alone gives an impression of how much content to expect.

How is Aion 2 structured? Similar to Aion 1, you will again have to choose a faction in advance, which will determine several aspects of the game for you:

  • Faction choice
    • The old conflict between Elyos (Light) and Asmodians (Shadow) returns. You must firmly choose a side.
  • Separate servers
    • The opposing faction will be housed on a completely different server.
    • Coordination with friends is therefore important if you want to play together.
  • Targeted encounters
    • Encounters with the enemy side will only occur in instanced modes and in the Abyss, the PvP zone of Aion 2.
  • PvE focus
    • Despite the faction conflict, the gameplay focus of the MMORPG is clearly on PvE content and less on PvP.
