Aion 2 is a free‑to‑play MMORPG developed by NCSoft using Unreal Engine 5, and it continues the story and gameplay tradition of the original Aion title. The game supports exploration, flight, vast open worlds, PvE and PvP content, deep progression and character customization, and a shared cross‑platform account progression between PC and mobile.
As of late 2025, Aion 2 has officially launched in Korea and Taiwan on:
PC (via the Purple launcher)
Mobile (Android and iOS)
However, global release (North America, Europe, etc.) is still planned for 2026 and has no confirmed exact date yet.
In case you’re interested in in‑game trading or economy, many players and marketplaces now offer Aion 2 kinah for sale online, as this in‑game currency plays a central role in player progress and the game’s ecosystem.
Here’s the step‑by‑step process to download and install the PC version of Aion 2:
Step 1. Install the Purple Launcher
Visit the official Purple launcher download page from NCSoft.
Download and install Purple like a standard PC application.
Step 2. Create an NCSoft/Purple Account
Sign up for an NCSoft account if you don’t already have one.
If the game isn’t showing up, set your account region to Taiwan or Korea — this can make Aion 2 available in the launcher before the global release.
Step 3. Log In and Find Aion 2
Launch Purple and log in with your account.
In the launcher’s game library or store, search for Aion 2.
Step 4. Download and Install
Click “Download” or “Preload” to install the Aion 2 client to your PC.
Note: A pre‑download/pre‑creation window was available before launch (Nov 16–18, 2025) to install the game ahead of time and create your character.
Step 5. Launch and Play
Once the download completes, click “Play” from Purple to enter the game.
You’ll choose your region/server and login method on first launch.
Tips
If the connection is slow or blocked, some players use network optimizers or boosters (e.g., tools that improve routing to KR/TW servers).
You can switch your Purple launcher language to English where available.
Although the mobile version is launched in Korea and Taiwan, you can still access it from other countries with some steps:
Open Google Play on your device.
Go to Settings > Account > Country and profiles.
Change your country to Taiwan or South Korea (may require local address or payment info).
Search for “AION 2” and install the game.
If you’re unable to change regions:
Download the APK and OBB files from reputable third‑party stores (e.g., APKPure) and install them manually, enabling “Install from Unknown Sources” first.
Sign out of your current Apple ID in the App Store.
Create a new Apple ID with the region set to Taiwan or Korea (via appleid.apple.com).
Sign in with the new Apple ID.
Search for “AION 2” and install.
Notes
You don’t usually need to enter a local phone number for Taiwan downloads, but some Korean services might ask depending on regional verification.
On launch, log in and select your region/server before creating your character.
Because Aion 2 is launched regionally first:
Many international players create accounts set to Korea or Taiwan to download and play immediately, even before global release.
This often involves registering with a regional email and choosing the appropriate region in the launcher.
Server Selection
Servers are currently regional (KR/TW).
Some players reported high ping from outside Asia; optimization tools can help reduce latency for players in the USA, Europe, etc.
If you’re planning ahead for a global launch:
Pre‑registration for Korea and Taiwan opened on September 11, 2025.
Character name reservation opened on October 16, 2025.
Pre‑download and character pre‑creation ran from November 16 through November 18, 2025.
These events allowed players who pre‑registered to claim bonuses like in‑game items and currency (including Kinah) before launch.
Once you’ve downloaded Aion 2 and logged in:
You’ll choose a server/region and create your character.
The world of Atreia awaits with quests, dungeons, PvP modes, professions, and exploration.
Progress and items are usually shared between PC and mobile if you log in with the same account.
Global Version
A global version will likely include more localized languages (English, etc.) once it officially launches in 2026.
Many players report connection issues or install problems due to regional traffic or launcher errors. Here’s how to troubleshoot:
If Purple’s download stalls or won’t connect, restart the launcher, clear cache, or switch your internet connection.
Slow or stuck installs on mobile can often be resolved by clearing app store cache or re‑signing into your regional account.
Network boosters or VPNs geared toward gaming traffic sometimes help with smoother downloads and lower ping.
Here’s a quick breakdown of steps for downloading Aion 2:
PC
Download the Purple launcher.
Create an NCSoft account set to a supported region.
Install Aion 2 through Purple and launch.
Mobile
Change your app store region to Taiwan or Korea, or install APK manually.
Log in and start playing.
Tips for Global Players
Create a regional NCSoft account.
Use optimization tools if you're outside Asia.
Watch for the official global release in 2026.
