Aion 2 relies on PvE and a business model like Throne and Liberty

If there is too much PvP in Throne and Liberty, the successor to Aion could be something for you. Aion 2 is scheduled to launch worldwide in the second half of 2025. MeinMMO tells you what is known so far.

How is Aion 2 supposed to be similar to Throne and Liberty? There has been no new information about Aion 2 for a long time. In a conference call on the occasion of the third quarter financial report, NCSoft announced that the MMORPG is expected to be released in the second half of 2025. Meanwhile, it should follow a similar business model to Throne and Liberty, but the focus should be on PvE, as mmorpg.org.pl reports.

Throne and Liberty is a new MMORPG that has many PvP elements. It also has a real money currency called Luzent, which you can use to trade in the auction house. Players farm items, extract their powerful properties, and can then sell them for luzent on the auction house. We have some tips for you on this.

Aion 2 probably wants to use this model as a model. MeinMMO tells you what else is known.

NCSoft is particularly focused on PvE in Aion 2

Unlike Throne and Liberty, Aion 2 will focus on PvE because international audiences “prefer such content.” The MMORPG is intended to “set a new standard”. PvP is also offered, but only plays a minor role here.

Since Throne and Liberty has some PvP elements and players with a lot of real money can buy up the auction house to strengthen their character, the game is currently being criticized by players. The Pay2Win factor is a thorn in the side of the majority of players.

This is where Aion 2 could help, as although NCSoft is considering the same business model for the MMORPG, this approach is likely to have less impact due to the clear preference for PvE-based gameplay. With this strategy, the company wants to specifically respond to the wishes of the global gaming community, according to mmorpg.org.pl.

Furthermore, the following information is known about Aion 2 so far:

  • Unreal Engine 5
  • 300 people are working on the game
  • The game world is said to be larger than that of Aion 1
  • Aion 2 will have more than a dozen language versions
  • It has been confirmed that Aion 2 is expected to release in 2025, specifically the second half of 2025
  • Aion 2 will be released worldwide immediately
  • A large-scale marketing campaign is expected to launch early this year.
  • The game is being developed “with a global audience in mind.”
  • The combat system and marketing strategy are significantly different from what the company has done before
  • The PvP system will exist, but supposedly won’t play a major role
  • Aion 2 is intended to “set a new standard”.
  • The company has high hopes for Aion 2, the game is expected to make huge profits (especially since NCSoft is currently in trouble)

    • However, fans still have to wait for new images. It’s conceivable that NCSoft will show off some impressions of Aion 2 at G-Star 2024, where the company will showcase several of its titles. It is still uncertain whether Aion 2 has the necessary potential to prevail against the competition. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a game with a lot of PvP, Throne and Liberty is the right place to go: Throne and Liberty: All guides for starting the new MMORPG.
