Aion 2 is not the same game as the original Aion—it’s a complete reimagining and prequel set hundreds of years earlier. While Aion (2008) was a PC MMORPG with fixed classes, tab-target combat, and limited flight zones, Aion 2 is built in Unreal Engine 5 for both PC and mobile, offering action-based combat, free weapon swapping instead of fixed classes, and full aerial freedom. It tells the origin story of Atreia with improved visuals, open-world PvPvE battles, and cross-platform play. Essentially, Aion 2 is a next-generation sequel that modernizes the world and gameplay of the original.
