NC America has announced that its upcoming free-to-play MMORPG Aion 2 has reached #1 on Steam’s global top-sellers chart less than a week before the game is set to fully launch. In addition, the title has achieved a #1 position on the charts in 8 individual countries, including Brazil, Canada, France, Italy, Poland, Singapore, Spain, and Thailand, with it reaching #2 in Germany, Austria, Finland, and Turkey, #3 in Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, and the United States, #4 in the Czech Republic, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and #6 in Denmark and Norway.
The Steam top sellers chart ranks games based on revenue. While Aion 2 will be free to play at launch, several bundles are available for purchase now. While these include several cosmetics, the big draw here is the inclusion of 5 days of early access before the game is available to everybody. These bundles are as follows:
- STANDARD: The Standard Edition is available for $24.99 and includes five days of Early Access, one Daeva’s Campaign Supply Chest, and the “Vanguard of Atreia” unique grade title.
- DELUXE: The Deluxe Edition is available for $49.99 and includes all content from the Standard Edition and features the “Ascended Daeva” armor skin and the “Eternal Sun” weapon skin.
- ULTIMATE: The Ultimate Edition is available for $99.99 and includes all content from the Deluxe Edition and features the “Daeva’s Styling Chest,” the “Moonlit Aria” armor skin, a “Black Dragon” pet, and the “Blazing Sun” wings.
Early access will run alongside “War for Atreia”, a two-week creator event hosted by NC America. During which, streamers from all across North America, Europe, and South America will compete for their faction, being host from September 30, to October 14. During this time, Twitch drops will also be available while rostered creators are live.
Merv Lee Kwai, Co-CEO of NC America and Executive Publishing Producer for AION 2, stated:
Reaching #1 on Steam ahead of launch is a strong start, but a launch is only part of how we measure success. NC has been making MMOs for more than 30 years. What matters is doing right by the AION franchise and its players while building a game that holds up over time, with steady content and earning trust with players. That work hits a big milestone today, September 30, and I can’t wait for you to be a part of this journey.
Aion 2 is available in early access now on PC via Steam and NC’s PURPLE platform. The game will be available fully on October 4, 2026.
