NCSoft's Aion, their next big Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game is due to launch here on September 25th 2009. QV Software will be handling local retail distro in Australia and while AusGamers was off in Los Angeles for E3 2009 expo, they were kind enough to hook us up with a detailed presentation by NCSoft off-site at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

Since then, we've also participated in the most recent closed-beta weekend for some quality hands-on time. Yesterday we shared some video footage of the presentation and today, as promised you can find out even more about the game in our hands-on preview write-up.

v pretty.

Aion does undoubtedly combine the style and flair of Eastern RPGs with many of the successful gameplay mainstays of popular Western MMOs.

So it plays awesome AND looks awesome?

With 6 months of translations you'd expect there wouldn't be any horrible engrish.

I'm hella interested in this, but we have SOOOOO much work to do post E3 and leading into holiday season, I doubt I'll get a chance :(

looks good

hashy will love this mmo
