NCSOFT (NC) said on the 12th that it will begin "pre-download" for the new massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "Aion 2" starting on the 16th.
All users can pre-install Aion 2 via NC's game platform "PURPLE" from 12 p.m. on the 16th to 11:59 p.m. on the 18th. Users who finish installation can use pre-character customization on PC from 2 p.m. on the 16th to 12 p.m. on the 18th. Aion 2 supports more than 200 customization items.
Aion 2 is a new MMORPG that formally succeeds NC's flagship intellectual property (IP), the "Aion" series. A company official said, "Aiming for the 'complete edition of Aion,' we advanced various systems by a step, including a world 36 times larger than the original, free movement through flight and swimming, and manual combat based on late hit judgment."
Users can get an early look at Aion 2 at "G-STAR 2025," the nation's largest game show, to be held on the 13th at the Busan Exhibition & Convention Center (BEXCO) in Busan. NC will participate in this G-STAR B2C (business-to-consumer) hall with about 300 booths, preparing demonstrations of character customization and "Urugugu Gorge," one of Aion 2's signature dungeons.
NC plans to launch Aion 2 at midnight on the 19th.
