How the schedule is documented
Steam’s Standard Founder’s Pack lists October 5, 2026 as its release date. The main Aion 2 Steam page says advance access starts September 30, and NCSOFT Japan’s July 23 announcement independently confirms that five-day start date.
NCSOFT’s main global landing page still says the game launches in September 2026. Aion2Base therefore reports the exact Steam storefront schedule and preserves the broader NCSOFT wording so readers can see the current discrepancy rather than treating either page as missing.
How to prepare
Pre-register through the official site, wishlist the game on Steam, review the PC platform page and avoid downloading clients from unofficial mirrors before pre-install begins.
