In the financial report for the first quarter of 2025, NCSOFT revealed many unexpected details about MMORPG Aion 2. Answering the questions of investors, PAK BEN MU, General Director, and Hon Won June, financial director, talked about the approximate time periods of testing, the release date and financial expectations from the project.
To begin with, on May 29 a special broadcast will be held, on which the first details about the game will be told. Its announcement took place on May 13, and this event will be the first step in the game advertising campaign.
In June, it is planned to carry out several stages of closed testing for several focus groups-initially it will be the employees of NCSoft itself, and subsequently invite third-party players. This will help to finalize the final elements based on the reviews of the players. It is interesting-the monetization model will not be demonstrated at these stages, so the filling of the store will most likely learn only closer to the release.
The release of the game in South Korea and Taiwan is scheduled for November 2025, and they plan to launch the global version by mid -2026. Even according to modest forecasts within the Aion 2 company, it will bring about 300 billion won ($ 214.2 million) in the 2026 fourth year.
As for the content, the game has many PVE raids, a variety of mini-games, the confrontation of two fractions and other activity that can keep the players for a long time. Compared to MMORPG Throne and Liberty, it will be better and more diverse events, since more effort and time to create them.
