AION Free-to-Play News

AION’s brand new update 7.0 is set to start on 10/7/2019 – bringing with it a wide variety of fresh content and all kinds of fun and action!

Alongside the many game improvements, AION 7.0 offers two additional instances as well as a new class specialisation for the Artist. In this news we’re providing the background to the three big additions coming with the update:



Colourful action with the new Artist specialisation

Irunin, the first Painter in Atreia, created the Aether Colours a long time ago with Siel’s help. Only the most gifted of students got to learn his arts. Once Siel sacrificed himself in the Cataclysm, Irunin disappeared under mysterious circumstances and the Painters were left behind, without no direction to follow. Finally, on the Day of the Storm, chaos broke out anew in Atreia and countless Painters gave their lives saving innocents. It is to the merit of these heroes that the specialisation of Painter is now officially recognised.



Thrilling combat in the Altar Siege Battle

Tiamat, who has taken Apsu’s place as Dragon Lord in Dumaha, has turned the once fruitful region to a barren waste. The Snuwa managed to resist being driven out of Dumaha and are protecting their Apsu Altars, which they have established across the land. The Stella Corporation is intent on developing Dumaha and returning it to its once fruitful glory, yet the Snuwa stand against this. Now it is up to the Daeva to bring peace back to the region.





Brand new PvE instance complete with exciting missions

The Stella Development Laboratory is a giant building, in which the main products of the Stella Corporation are made and processed. Reports came in to the Daeva that outlaws have forced their way into the laboratory. But the waste in the lab made the criminals lose their minds, making for untold chaos in the laboratory. The security system had been activated, yet the situation has been out of control for some time.

More information on this new game content in update 7.0 will be coming soon. So keep your eyes peeled for our next piece of news!

Greetings, Daeva!

As you will likely have already heard in our latest episode of The Daeva’s Tavern, we will be stopping the support of three of our game languages with update 7.0: Italian, Polish and Spanish.



If you currently play AION in Italian, Polish and Spanish, please select a different language once update 7.0 starts. The translations of old game content in these languages will be removed with the update. The news on our website will for now continue to be available in all languages. The same applies for the forum and our Support, who will respond to questions from players in all the usual languages as before.



The decision to halt three of our game languages is unfortunately necessary: AION is currently being played by fewer players than it was a few years ago. The translation of regular and extensive updates into six languages demands a lot of time as well as a lot of our resources and we have decided that these would be better placed elsewhere. We want to continually improve the quality and game experience in AION.

We believe that halting part of the translation will help us to reach our aim of getting updates and patches that are already available in Korea to our European players faster. Additionally this provides us with resources that we wish to use to test new game content from Korea. This gives us the chance to drastically reduce the amount of bugs and problems that arise in events and permanent features.

This change allowed us to complete the coming update much faster than usual. We are convinced that we can use this to provide you with some fantastic updates in the coming years.

Now we turn our attention to when AION 7.0 goes live: keep checking here as you’ll find more on the update published soon on our website. So keep your eyes peeled for our next news post!
