AION 2 Global Launch Release Date and Times—Founder’s Pack Explained
AION 2, the free-to-play MMORPG, is set for its global launch on October 5, 2026, exclusively on PC. The game has been operating successfully in South Korea and Taiwan since November 2025, building significant player engagement before its worldwide expansion.
The global launch will occur simultaneously across all regions at 6 AM PDT / 9 AM EDT / 1 PM UTC / 2 PM BST / 3 PM CEST. As a free-to-play title, AION 2 requires no purchase to access the base game. However, the publisher is offering a Founder’s Pack for players willing to pay for early access before the official global launch, providing paying customers an advance window before the game opens to the general free-to-play audience.
The game’s massive open-world design and MMORPG mechanics have generated considerable anticipation during its months in Asia-Pacific markets. The transition from regional service to global release marks a significant milestone, bringing the experience to millions of new potential players worldwide.
