The MMORPG market experiences ups and downs, so the success of even major projects is not guaranteed. Recently, players' attention has been drawn to World of Warcraft Forever, a new game in the Lineage universe, and updates to The Elder Scrolls Online, and now AION 2, a sequel to the cult MMORPG, has joined them.
During the several-day pre-release access, over 171 thousand players were simultaneously on the servers. At the time of publication, the online count remains at 100,000 people. For a kind of pre-order access to an MMORPG, this is an impressive result.
The full release of the NCSoft game will take place on October 5th. AION 2 may prove more successful than another MMORPG from the studio, Throne & Liberty. The rating based on 5587 opinions is 75% positive reviews.
