NCSoft said on Tuesday that its massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) Aion2, released on Nov. 19 last year, surpassed 100 billion won in cumulative revenue as of Jan. 3, its 46th day of service. The cumulative number of characters with membership purchases over the same period also exceeded 1 million.
NCSoft is preparing a Season 2 update based on these solid sales and user metrics.
Season 2 of Aion2 begins on Jan. 21. In Season 2, new dungeons are added to Aion2's main PvE content: expeditions, raid battles, awakening battles and nightmares. Its PvP content, the Abyss, is also partially overhauled.
On Jan. 21, it will introduce a new expedition, Nest of the Dead Dramata. Raid battles Heart of the Dead Orcus and Fafnite Refinery, and new awakening battles Trajectory Repository and Tyrant's Hideout, will also be updated. On Jan. 28, a new expedition, Cradle of Nothingness, will be added.
A new transcendence dungeon, Sunken Temple of the Living God, will be available from Feb. 4 with difficulty levels 1 to 10. On Feb. 18, a Hard difficulty will be added for 2 dungeons: Nest of the Dead Dramata and Cradle of Nothingness. On Feb. 25, it will introduce the sanctuary content Purification Site of Erosion, which is expected to stimulate users' desire to take on challenges.
It will also roll out various convenience updates. During Season 2, Aion2 will 추진 changes to the expedition and transcendence ticket-deduction system, add new slots for Arcana, introduce a class-by-class ranking system for awakening battles and daily dungeons, add armor tuning options, and ease boss patterns for melee targets.
It will also improve PvP content in the Abyss. A high-end content tier, Abyss Middle Layer, will be added with item-level entry restrictions. Convenience for the Resonance Battle content will be improved, and it will also change limits on acquiring Abyss gear and points.
In Tuesday's regular update, it will improve the pet system, which had been highly requested by users. Species understanding and pet ownership, previously applied per character, will be changed to be shared across characters on the server. Species understanding will be applied based on the character with the highest value on the server, and it reduced users' gameplay burden by aggregating all characters' pet levels.
Kim Namjun, development PD for Aion2, said, "Thanks to users' love, Aion2 revenue has surpassed 100 billion won in just a month and a half, and the strong performance is continuing." He added, "Please look forward to Season 2, and we will do our best in 2026 as well to communicate actively and deliver the promised updates and convenience improvements."
