AION 2's defining feature is full 3D aerial combat. As a Daeva, flight is not just travel — it is how you fight, explore, and gain altitude for an advantage.

Aerial combat
The Steam description says verticality is in the DNA of AION 2, and rewards players who think and fight in three dimensions. Every region and encounter is designed around that vertical axis.
Dungeons and PvE
AION 2 advertises over 200 dungeons across solo challenges, 5-player parties, and 10-player group dungeons. Seasonal challenges, competitive rankings, and open-world events sit alongside the Abyss faction war.
Character creation
The character creator offers over 200 customization options, plus outfits, mounts, and wings to collect. Steam also lists accessibility features and in-app purchases.
Combat style
Combat can be played as traditional tab-target or a softer action mode. A press preview called the action mode closer to an "Elder Scrolls Online style" feel. Questing is described as a linear theme-park main story. Players who prefer the classic tab-target feel can keep that option. The exact launch content count is not yet confirmed.
