NCSoft Partners With Gameforge To Launch Aion Classic In Europe In Early 2023
early 2023 and will be based on a more balanced and polished version of the original game’s 1.9 release.
“With AION Classic, players will return to the game’s foundations and relive the war between the Elyos and Asmodians, while also dealing with the ever-present threat of the Balaur lurking at the threshold to the Abyss Gate.”
“In time, Gameforge expects people across Europe to experience the same original adventures and exactly why AION is beloved by millions of players around the world. AION Classic is a permanent server that offers all MMORPG lovers a fresh start in the world of Atreia, along with additional balancing and quality-of-life improvements,” said NCSoft. “Players new and old will explore the vast and unique realm of Atreia, discover and enjoy iconic dungeons, alongside taking part in the battle between Elyos and Asmodians.”
The dev team will be holding a livestream on Friday to talk about the European release. Hopefully, Gameforge’s version won’t run into the same pay-to-win and monetization issues, exploits, and queues that plagued the game’s western launch in 2021. In the meantime, you can check out the new trailer below and the launch FAQ on the Gameforge’s Aion Classic website.
