NCSoft revealed plans to release Aion 2 globally during the latter half of 2026, following its initial launch in South Korea and Taiwan for PC and mobile platforms. The MMORPG sequel takes place approximately 200 years following the original 2009 title and features a vast 1,200 square kilometer world with eight character classes, over 200 dungeons, and various player versus player combat modes including large-scale faction battles and smaller arena matches. The developer indicated the game would employ less aggressive monetization strategies than Throne and Liberty to attract a larger player base, and confirmed support for NVIDIA DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation through its Unreal Engine 5 foundation.
NCSoft also outlined its broader 2026 portfolio including Cinder City, an open-world shooter with MMO elements for PC and consoles, Limit Zero Breakers, a free cooperative action RPG for PC and mobile, and Time Takers, a team-based shooter utilizing time energy mechanics. Speculation suggests the publisher may announce a Horizon-themed MMO at G-Star 2025.
