How to Download AION 2
Get AION 2 on your PC the official way: Steam or PURPLE, with preload windows, account and region notes — no third-party mirrors, ever.

Region
The Global service is separate from the existing KR/TW services; install availability follows the official channels. This page states nothing beyond them.
Storage & system requirements
Official Global specs and storage are not published yet — see the system requirements page. Do not rely on the KR client size as a Global guide.
Common problems
Troubleshooting content is expanded after launch when real issues exist to document. Until then, the official Steam discussion and NC support channels are the authoritative sources.
Stay safe
- Only the official Steam page (app 3393110) and PURPLE are legitimate sources.
- No key generators, cracked installers or third-party downloaders — they are scams and are never linked here.
