AION 2 is NC's free-to-play Unreal Engine 5 MMORPG on Steam for Windows, launching 5 October 2026. You play a Daeva in Atreia two hundred years after the Tower of Eternity fell. Flight is the combat axis, not a travel emote: every region is built with altitude in mind, from plateau roads to cavern floors. Character creation lists more than 200 customization options, plus outfits, mounts, and wings. Founder's Packs are optional paid SKUs. Advanced Access for pack owners starts 30 September, five days before the free launch on app 3393110.

A Windows Steam MMORPG on a 36-times-larger Atreia

NC lists the world as 36 times larger than original AION and sells three-dimensional fights as the sequel's identity. You still pick Elyos or Asmodians. The Abyss is where those factions clash. Dungeon copy on Steam names more than 200 instances as solo challenges, 5-player parties, and 10-player group dungeons. Korea and Taiwan already launched on PURPLE on 19 November 2025; the Steam product in front of you is the global PC path with servers in North America, South America, Europe, and Japan.

The English teaser names eight Daeva classes and ten starter valleys. Use Classes to match a role and range, then Flight to see why altitude is a fight tool. Pack owners compare SKUs on Founder's Packs before 30 September. Character creation lists more than 200 customization options. Shugo Festival is the named mini-game slate. Odyle Energy gates dungeon rewards. The still here is the official Shugo Festival platform.

What AION 2 is

The Steam title is AION 2, developed and published by NC, built in Unreal Engine 5, and marked free to play. Platforms.windows is true; macOS and Linux are not listed. Minimum store specs are Windows 10/11 64-bit, Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-10500, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB, DirectX 12, and 100 GB free. Recommended copy steps up to an RTX 2070-class GPU, 16 GB RAM, and an SSD. Steam required_age is 13, with General Mature Content and Gore descriptors. App 3393110 is the configured global product; Founder's Pack DLC hangs off 4972180 and the playtest app is 4972320.

Global in-game languages on the store are English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, and Russian. Full audio is marked for English, Japanese, and Korean. Servers are announced for North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. Combat is manual: chain skills, evade, and take position. Press copy does not describe an auto-battle design. Korean and Japanese storefronts also print 아이온2 / AION2 and アイオン2 beside the Steam title.

Customization, outfits, mounts, and wings

Steam about copy puts more than 200 sliders in character creation, then layers outfits, mounts, and wings on top of that base Daeva. NC has not published a per-slider list for the Steam build. Plan for a long creator session before you ever open a valley, then a wardrobe and a mount/wing pair that travel with you into flight. Deluxe adds the Ascended Daeva armor skin and Eternal Sun weapon skin on top of that creator; Ultimate adds Daeva's Styling Chest, Moonlit Aria, a Black Dragon pet, and Blazing Sun Wings. Those SKUs dress the Daeva you already made; they do not replace the 200-plus sliders.

Wings are not a cosmetic afterthought here. Flight is how you fight, so the wing you pick is part of the silhouette you present in the air and on cliffs. Outfits and mounts sit in the same creator loop. Open Flight after you leave the creator: altitude is a combat input, and the wing you chose is the one you take into that air.

Shugo Festival downtime

Shugo Festival is the named mini-game slate on Steam: defend Shugos, run pet races, and dodge lasers, with wings, skins, pets, and décor on the reward list. The still beside this heading is the official festival platform, not a generic town square. Treat it as the downtime loop between expeditions rather than a second combat system. The Gamescom trailer on this hub shows the same colorful elevated stage in motion. Festival rewards listed on Steam are cosmetics and pets, not dungeon loot tables, so they sit beside Odyle rather than replacing it.

Nothing in the global teaser turns those mini-games into a full economy. Shop, Quna, passes, memberships, marketplace, Quna exchange, and player trading stay off during Launch Scale Test, so Festival rewards you earn in the test do not carry into Advanced Access or the 5 October launch. Use the Festival on live servers as a cosmetics and pet sink once the shops are actually on.

Odyle Energy and dungeon gates

Odyle Energy is the dungeon-entry resource named in Special Quai Membership perks and in Korea/Taiwan expedition tables. Membership raises the cap and adds extra Odyle Energy Cube picks. Steam global copy does not print a per-dungeon Odyle price list. Take this pairing to launch: more than 200 dungeons on one side, a gated energy resource on the other. Launch Scale Test kept shops and Quna off, so you could not spend Odyle the way a live member will on 5 October. Hold the 30-day membership from a Founder's Pack if you want the extra Cube picks on day one of Advanced Access.

Without membership you still enter dungeons; you spend the base Odyle pool. Plan group size on Expedition first — solo, 5-player, or 10-player on Steam — then spend Odyle on the format that matches the people actually online. Korea press used 4-player and 8-player groups; those sizes stay on the expedition table as a live-build fork, not as the Steam queue you join on 5 October.

Servers, languages, and the PC box

Global servers are announced for North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. In-game languages on Steam are English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Japanese, Korean, and Russian, with full audio on English, Japanese, and Korean. Steam required_age is 13. Minimum box is Windows 10/11 64-bit, Ryzen 5 2600 or Core i5-10500, 8 GB RAM, GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB, DirectX 12, and 100 GB free. Recommended is RTX 2070 class, 16 GB, SSD.

Korea and Taiwan launched on PURPLE on 19 November 2025 with mobile stores as well. That live client is not the Steam global FAQ’s subject. Keep PURPLE installs beside app 3393110, do not merge them. Official Discord is discord.gg/aion2official. The Gamescom trailer on this hub is click-to-play. The Shugo Festival still is the official elevated platform, not a generic town square. Steam website field points at the NC English teaser. Founder's Pack DLC hangs off 4972180. Playtest app 4972320 must be uninstalled before Advanced Access on 30 September.
