Brighton, England - 17 August, 2009. Today, NCsoft, the world's premier publisher and developer of MMOs, confirmed that Aion has been released to manufacturing. Aion is the highly anticipated game that has already taken Asia by storm and has quickly become one of the world’s largest MMO franchises ahead of its release in Europe on 25th September.Actually, if Blizzard doesn't shock the world and announce that the next WoW expansion will go live in September or October, Aion has fit into a nice slot for release. While I don't believe WoW expansions kill off new games (actually the opposite, it probably helps some), any success is measured against an awfully big stick. Especially for a game like Aion that is so close in terms of potential players with WoW.
Oh, and Aion is available via Steam!
Bring on the GW2 announcement imo.

ReplyDeleteAion is one of the most anticipated MMORPG's of this year. I don't think this WoW expansion will ever steal the thunder, well, primarily because of Aion's hardcore gameplay and fantastic graphics.

I agree that its the game of the year and WoW would not steal its thunder. However, I do not believe Aion will reach WoW-like sales figures and if it had to immediately be compared to a new WoW expansion's sales figures, Aion would look the loser.
I look forward to Aion, but I just don't have the motivation to buy or start a new game currently.
