Aion Reforged Launches October 20: What You Need to Know

NCsoft is launching Aion Reforged, a new auto-hunt server, on October 20th. It might not be the only big Aion release next month, with Aion 2 also on the horizon.

Did you think Aion 2 was the only thing Aion fans had to look forward to next month? Surprise — NCsoft has another trick up its sleeve.

The company has revealed that it's preparing a brand-new server called Aion Reforged, and it's set to go live on October 20th. That's right, the same month that Aion 2 might be making its big debut. So if you're a longtime Aion player, October is looking pretty stacked.

But what exactly is Aion Reforged? According to NCsoft, it's being described as a "new auto-hunt server." If you're not familiar with the term, auto-hunt typically means your character can grind and fight monsters automatically — a feature that's become pretty common in certain MMO markets, especially in Korea. It's a different way to play, and it's clearly aimed at players who want a more relaxed or hands-off experience.

Of course, the Aion community on Reddit isn't just taking that description at face value. There's plenty of speculation swirling around about what Aion Reforged really is. Some players are wondering if it's a fresh start server, a classic-style experience, or something else entirely. The official word is just "auto-hunt server" for now, so we'll have to wait and see what NCsoft reveals in the coming weeks.

What we do know is the date: October 20th. That's when Aion Reforged goes live. And with Aion 2 also potentially launching next month, NCsoft is clearly making a big push for the franchise. Whether you're into the classic MMO grind or curious about the auto-hunt twist, there's going to be something new to check out.

For now, keep an eye on official channels for more details about Aion Reforged. The concept might raise some eyebrows, but it's definitely an interesting move from NCsoft. Will it bring back lapsed players or attract new ones? Only time will tell.
