Look, let's be honest, the global version of AION2 has casually strolled onto Steam for early play on September 30, only to immediately snatch the number one spot on the global top sellers chart. The proper, full-fat launch is scheduled for October 5.

NC is rolling out the global service of AION2 across PC via Steam and Purple. The service spans four major regions—North America, South America, Europe, and Asia (Japan)—and supports eight languages including English, Japanese, French, German, and Spanish. This early play period was thoughtfully arranged for those who splashed out on the Founder's Pack to get a cheeky head start before the official release.

AION2 didn't just top the global Steam charts; it also claimed the number one grossing spot in 12 countries, including the US, France, Germany, Spain, and Brazil. Prior to the early play kicking off, the game already amassed over 1.3 million wishlists on Steam.

Meanwhile, NC marked the early play launch by dropping a brand-new trailer. The footage highlights what the developer calls the core pillars of AION2: unhindered free flight, aerial combat, and the eternal squabble between the Elyos and Asmodians across both PvE and PvP content.
