AION 2 FAQ
The questions new players ask first — answered from official sources only.
When does AION 2 launch globally?
October 5, 2026, as a free-to-play PC MMORPG on Steam and the NCSOFT PURPLE launcher. Founder's Pack owners start five days earlier, on September 30, in Advance Access.
How many classes does AION 2 have at launch?
Eight: Templar, Gladiator, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Cleric and Chanter. A ninth, Brawler, exists in the Korea/Taiwan service but has not been confirmed for the global launch build.
Is the global version the same as the Korea and Taiwan version?
No. They are separate services with separate progression, and global does not inherit any KR/TW progress. Content schedules and class balance also differ, so guides written from Korean or Taiwanese footage do not always apply.
Is there a verified AION 2 tier list yet?
No. Nobody outside Korea and Taiwan has played the global retail build, so any tier list published before October 5 is inferred rather than tested. This site holds its class rankings open until real global data exists.
Do I need to buy a Founder's Pack to play at launch?
No. October 5 is a free-to-play opening and requires no purchase. A Founder's Pack only buys the five-day Advance Access window plus cosmetic and bonus items.
Does AION 2 have redeem codes?
Yes — codes are redeemed inside the PURPLE launcher rather than on a website. Availability at global launch is limited, and Korea/Taiwan codes do not work on the global service.
