Before the event, producer Kim Nam-joon shared a video message thanking the community for the overwhelming enthusiasm during the first livestream. According to Kim, the feedback exceeded all expectations and further motivated the team to deliver a game worthy of the fans' trust.
One of the highlights was the confirmation that the previous trailer was not a pre-rendered cinematic, but actual in-game footage captured directly from the client. “Our goal is to make AION 2 one of the most visually impressive MMORPGs,” said Kim, emphasizing the detail in characters, environments, skies, and visual effects.
Regarding character design, Kim explained that the art team aimed to blend Eastern and Western styles, creating diverse and appealing looks for both male and female characters. “We didn’t know which style you’d prefer, so we made them all,” he joked.
The upcoming livestream will also feature the real-time character customization system, one of the most anticipated features, intended to eliminate any doubts about the game’s visual quality.
Finally, Kim nostalgically recalled memorable moments from the original AION, such as portal PvP battles, large-scale fights, and the thrill of traversing dimensions. He promised these feelings will return in AION 2, reimagined for a modern and accessible experience.
With each new reveal, AION 2 is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious releases in NCSOFT’s recent history. Don’t miss the August 8 livestream, where a brand-new side of this highly anticipated MMORPG will be unveiled.
