Game systems
14entriesHow AION 2 actually works underneath — flight, factions, the Abyss, progression. The parts most sites summarise instead of explaining.
8 of these 14 game systems are on the Korean service only
They are live in Korea and Taiwan and are not in the Western release, which opens on 30 September 2026. NCSOFT has not stated which of them will be present at that launch, so no page here predicts it. Use the filter below to see only what applies to you.

All 14 entries are in this page whether the filter shows them or not. No recommended level, group size, clear time or difficulty rating appears anywhere on this site: NCSOFT publishes none of them, and a figure without a source is someone's guess wearing a table. © NC Corporation.
