Is There an AION 2?
One of the most common questions in the AION community: Is there a sequel? As of March 2026, there is no officially announced AION 2 for PC. There have been rumours about mobile projects, but no confirmed full PC sequel from NCSoft.
The good news: AION Classic EU is actively operated by Gameforge 4D GmbH and receives regular major updates. It delivers the classic AION experience that many players miss — with flight combat, the Abyss, fortress sieges, and the unique PvPvE system that defined the original game.
What Makes AION Classic Special?
Flight Combat
AION is the only MMORPG with true 3D aerial combat. Players earn wings and fight in the sky — a feature no other MMO offers. Aerial PvP in the Abyss is an experience unique to AION.
The Abyss
A PvPvE zone where Elyos and Asmodians battle each other and NPC factions simultaneously. Fortresses can be captured and defended in massive battles involving hundreds of players.
Fortress Sieges
Large-scale PvPvE battles for control of strategic fortresses. Requires coordination between legions (guilds) with tanks, healers, DPS, and siege weapons. Among the most epic content in any MMORPG.
Classic Experience
AION Classic recreates the gameplay of early AION versions — harder difficulty, less automation, focused PvPvE. It's designed for players who remember and love the original AION experience.
