Aion 2 reaches 400,000 players

According to Seoul Economic Daily on October 7, 2026, Aion 2 reached more than 400,000 peak concurrent players after its October 5 release on Steam and NCSoft's Purple platform. The title runs across North America, South America, Europe and Japan, with support for eight languages.

The launch also gives NCSoft a wider geographic test for a new revenue source. During the five-day early-access period that began on September 30, Aion 2 ranked first on Steam's global Top Sellers chart and reached the top position in 15 countries, according to the same report.

Q2 revenue rises 101.5 percent

The latest quarterly figures give the launch a stronger financial starting point than a product story alone. Q1 2026 revenue was KRW 557.4 billion, so Q2 revenue increased by KRW 213.1 billion, while operating profit rose from KRW 113.3 billion to KRW 174 billion between the two quarters.
