Aion 2’s imminent worldwide release could be huge as early access founders’ packs outsell major games, and player numbers soar
Aion 2 is preparing for its imminent worldwide release following its launch in Korea and Taiwan approximately one year ago. The fantasy MMORPG has already demonstrated significant commercial success, with its founder’s packs claiming the top position on Steam’s Top Sellers list.
While Aion 2 operates on a free-to-play model, early access currently requires purchasing one of several founder’s packs, with the most affordable option priced at £18.49 and offering in-game cosmetics and consumables. The strong sales of these packs have generated revenue comparable to major recent game releases on the platform, showcasing substantial player interest in the title.
The game has also risen high on Steam’s most-played games chart, reflecting both the scale of its current player base and anticipation surrounding the global launch. This combined performance—strong sales figures alongside impressive concurrent player numbers—suggests the worldwide release could represent a significant moment for the free-to-play MMORPG market.
