About AION 2

✦ AI summary

AION 2 is an MMORPG built on Unreal Engine 5 where aerial combat defines every aspect of gameplay, from exploration to large-scale raids across a world 36 times larger than the original. Fight in true three dimensions with precision-based combat, customize your Daeva class to match your playstyle, and engage in everything from solo dungeons to faction wars in the Abyss.

The sky is not the limit. It is the battlefield.Built on Unreal Engine 5 across a world 36 times larger than the original AION, this is the only MMORPG built for aerial combat. Verticality is in the DNA of AION 2, and rewards players who can think, and fight, in 3 dimensions.

Every region, every battlefield, every encounter was designed with verticality as its axis. As a Daeva, flight is not a travel mechanic, it is how you fight, how you explore, and how you impose your will on the world. Gain altitude to gain advantage, and experience a scale of aerial combat unlike any other MMORPG.

Precision, timing, and positioning shape every battle. Chain skills seamlessly, customize your class to fit your playstyle, and adapt as encounters escalate. Every fight is a decision, not a rotation.

From solo instances to large-scale raids, AION 2 PvE is built around scale and variety. Over 200 dungeons span multiple formats: solo challenges, 4-player party content, and 8-player group dungeons. Seasonal challenges, competitive rankings, and open-world events keep the excitement high, and the Abyss ensures that PvE and faction war are never far apart. Bring your vision to life with one of the most advanced character creation systems in an MMORPG. With over 200 customization options and countless outfits, mounts, and wings to collect, your character becomes a true expression of who you are. The Shugo Festival brings a variety of mini-games to Atreia. Protect the Shugos from waves of enemies, race pets against other players, dodge lasers, and more. Earn unique rewards including wings, skins, pets, and décor!

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

AION 2 has a solid foundation with beautiful visuals and nostalgic gameplay that appeals to franchise veterans, but players are frustrated by severe bot infestations destroying the economy, aggressive monetization and pay-to-win mechanics that gatekeep endgame content, restrictive technical limitations like remote play blocking, and poor server coverage for certain regions.

Not recommended Oct 12, 2026
I've honestly never seen a game with a worse bot problem than this. The econ is absolutely fried, every node is camped by bots. NC isn't doing enough to prevent this from happening. It's a solid game and looks beautiful but a large part of the game is based around gathering and crafting. My guess is the games player count is going to plummet significantly if they cant get this under control asap.

either you swipe your cards or gatekeep by whales, the crafting interface suck, BOTS multi boxes farm all nodes, not friendly for solo player, multi alts require for endgame grind, hard gatekeep by whale on endgame contents. it such a shame that in 6-8 months people will be gone.

Recommended Oct 12, 2026
Fun game but near unplayable at max level due to lack of OCE/SEA servers. server lag is too high to make end game gameplay practical.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
