Key facts

• AION 2 Global launches on Steam on October 5, 2026. It is free to play — you do not need to buy the game.
• Early access opens 5 days before launch, on September 30. It comes with any Founder's Pack.
• NCSoft has not announced the exact server opening time yet — only rumours are going around. We will add the time here as soon as it is official.
• There are three packs: Standard for $24.99, Deluxe for $49.99 and Ultimate for $99.99. Each one includes everything from the previous tier.
• Steam lists the packs as a limited-time offer.

Why get early access

Five days of head start give you time to pick a class, level up before the starting zones get crowded and claim your character name. If that does not matter to you, just wait for October 5: it is the same game, and the packs do not make your character stronger — they hold cosmetics, a title, a membership and a starter supply chest.
