AION 2 Flying Guide
Flying is the heart of AION 2's identity — the official Global material centers on free flight and aerial combat. This guide tracks what is confirmed and refuses to copy old-AION assumptions.
What is confirmed about flying
- Free flight is core: the official Global promotion showcases flying as a central feature.
- Aerial combat: the official material explicitly shows combat in the air.
- Exploration: flight is tied to open-world exploration in the promotion.
What is not assumed from AION 1
Old AION mechanics like flight-time meters, flight potions or stamina-driven gliding are not assumed for AION 2 Global. If and when the official pages describe these systems, they are documented here — until then they are unannounced.
Flying & the world
The official 36× world and open-world framing make flight the natural way to move and discover — but exact flight rules, zones where flying is allowed or restricted, and mounted vs wings-based flight are unannounced. See locations for the world questions.
Aerial combat & classes
Aerial combat is showcased officially; how it interacts with the 8 Global classes, skills and Stigma is verified in the live Global build from Advance Access (September 30) onward.
Launch Scale Test note
Whether flying is available in the September 17/19 Launch Scale Test is verified at the test and added here with version stamps.
