AION 2 is opening its doors in the West, and the moment the servers go live there will be a stream running alongside them. On September 30, 2026 at 8 PM CEST (11 AM PDT / 3 PM BRT), Stella goes live on the official AION 2 Twitch channel to celebrate the start of Early Access – and she is not just talking about the game, she is playing it on the live servers with everyone else.
When and where to watch
The broadcast starts at exactly the same moment Early Access opens, so you can log in and watch at the same time. Everything runs on the official AION 2 Twitch channel.

Stella Chung is NC’s official Community Broadcaster for AION 2 Global. She hosted the PvP Gameplay Showcase on September 11 together with Senior Producer Gator, and during the Launch Scale Test on September 17 and 18 she jumped in game with the community under the “Let’s Play with Stella” banner. The September 30 stream follows the same idea – except this time the progress you make actually sticks.
Who gets into Early Access
Servers open on September 30 at 8 PM CEST (11 AM PDT / 3 PM BRT). That is when you can start playing, and the stream with Stella goes live at the same minute.
NC calls this phase Advance Access, and it is open to players who own a Founder’s Pack – Standard, Deluxe or Ultimate. It runs from September 30 through October 4, and everything you earn during those days carries over. The free-to-play global launch for everybody else follows on October 5, 2026. We also covered the Founder’s Pack giveaway in a separate article.
How to get ready
AION 2 launches on PC only, either through Steam or the PURPLE launcher. If you took part in the Launch Scale Test on Steam, there is one thing you need to handle before the servers open: uninstall the Playtest app and download AION 2 as a separate install. Doing that in advance saves you from watching a download bar while Stella is already out in the field. The game has its own store page on Steam.
Where to go next
If you want to walk into Early Access knowing what you are doing, we have written plenty about the game already – from the Krao Cave dungeon to the Arcana card system. Everything else lives in our AION 2 news hub.
