Update from September 29, 2026: There were still some old infos in our overview, which we have replaced with current findings.

How is Aion 2 connected to its predecessor?

Aion 2 is said to take place around 200 years after Aion 1, and once again, your elegant wings will be the focus. The developers themselves refer to Aion 2 as the “full version of Aion” because they were finally able to implement all that they could not 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 also determine many things for you in the game:

  • Faction choice
    • The old conflict between Elyos (Light) and Asmodians (Shadow) returns. You must firmly decide for one side.
  • Separate servers
    • The opposing faction will be accommodated on a completely different server.
    • Coordination with friends is therefore important if you want to play together.
  • Targeted encounters
    • Encounters with the enemy side only occur in instanced modes as well as 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.
