The sky is not the limit — it is the battlefield. NC America has officially launched AION 2 in Early Access today, giving Founder’s Pack holders five full days with the complete game before the worldwide free-to-play release on Monday, October 5. Available now on Steam and NC’s own PURPLE platform, this is your chance to soar ahead of the crowd.
Full Experience — Not Just a Preview
Unlike earlier limited tests, this Early Access unlocks the entire AION 2 adventure:
- Flight combat — verticality is the core mechanic, not just fast travel; fight in 3D across a world 36 times larger than the original AION
- PvP & PvE — battlegrounds, Dimensional Rifts, over 200 dungeons from solo to 10-player raids, and the contested Abyss
- Full customisation — wardrobe, transmog, and over 200 character creation options
- Economy & Marketplace — trading, crafting, and the full in-game shop are all active
- Progress carries over — everything you earn and keep stays with you through launch and beyond
Three Tiers, One Early Start
Every Founder’s Pack grants instant Early Access plus 30 days of Special Quai Membership:
Table
| Tier | Price | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | £24.99 / $24.99 | 5-day Early Access, Vanguard of Atreia title, Supply Chest, 30-day Membership |

Built to Soar
Powered by Unreal Engine 5, AION 2 reimagines the classic MMORPG with aerial combat at its heart. As a Daeva, your wings are your weapons — gain altitude to outmanoeuvre foes, chain skills mid-flight, and experience faction warfare on a scale unlike anything before.
Preload is live now — take to the skies today, and claim your place in Atreia’s history.
