Aion® 2.5 Empyrean Calling™ PTS Live Date Announced

We are excited to announce that the Aion® 2.5 update, Empyrean Calling™, will go live on our North American and European Union servers on May 25, 2011! We'll be hosting several mini-events on our live servers to celebrate this long-anticipated update, and we'll be sharing the information about those on the official Aion website.

You can learn more about the details of this exciting new update in our 2.5 Patch Notes or by viewing the Aion: Empyrean Calling highlight video, which includes a sneak peek of Aion 3.0!

The Empyrean Calling player test game client for use on the player test server (PTS) is available for download starting today, May 5, 2011 at noon PDT for players who want to try out the upcoming Empyrean Calling update before it goes live. On May 12, 2011, you will be able to log in to the PTS and experience Aion 2.5 Empyrean Calling yourself when the PTS goes live.

If you play Aion and you already have the PTS game client, your launcher can incrementally download the 2.5 client. If you do not already have the PTS client, you can instead download the full Aion PTS 2.5 client through FTP. Visit our Aion 2.5 PTS FAQ for details on downloading the full 2.5 PTS client.
