Aion Open Beta Announcement Soon!

NC Soft will be making an announcement sometime this week about Aion moving into Open Beta before it's Sept 22nd release date. NC Soft recently wrapped up it's closed beta with their 6th Beta Event from August 14th - 17th.

Aion is an English port of the incredibly popular Korean MMO of the same name. The American developers have also done a lot to make the game more suited to a western audience, things like increased customization, turning "click to move" off by default and giving the keyboard layout the standard western treatment are just a few of the changes.

Aion also features a much lauded PvPvE setting where each player controlled faction (The Elyos and Asmodian) contest with each-other and a third computer controlled faction, the Balaur for control of the Tower of Eternity. Players enter arenas and do battle with other players and the npc's at the same time.

Aion looks to be shaping up to be a very exciting, and beautiful addition to the MMO scene. Stay tuned as we add more information and reviews to the site.
