What is the connection between Aion 2 and its predecessor? Aion 2 is set around 200 years after Aion 1, and again the focus will 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 that was not possible due to technical limitations about 10 years after the first part.
How much larger will Aion 2 be? According to the developers, the game world will be about 36 times larger than that of its predecessor. This alone gives an impression of how much content to expect.

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

- 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 opposing side will only occur in instanced modes and in the Abyss, the PvP zone of Aion 2.
- PvE focus
