Official Event Link
AION 2 is an action-focused MMORPG set two centuries after the events of the original game. Built using Unreal Engine 5, it expands upon the central conflict between the Elyos and Asmodian factions, featuring an open world with unrestricted flight mechanics alongside the returning Abyss zone for large-scale faction warfare. Gameplay shifts away from tab-targeting toward real-time action combat that emphasizes manual controls, active dodging, and chain abilities without auto-combat features. While light activities such as crafting and gathering can be accessed casually on mobile devices, complex end-game content and high-level encounters are built around full PC controls.
