Aion Update 8.2
Update Available: May 4, 2022
Aion’s update 8.2 is finally arriving with an array of quality of life, features, bug fixes, and more that Daevas have been clamoring for quite a while—From the wardrobe system finally making an appearance to allow for easier access to daily styles, to brand new challenges in Heart of Apsaranta (Normal), a new Empyrean Lord Season for even greater rewards to achieve, and so much more! Not only does this update bring the game up to the October 27th update in Korea, but we've also included an update to the Black Cloud Market with brand new packages, too!
PLEASE NOTE: For additional information on known issues and other updates related to 8.2, events, and the BCM store, please visit the announcement section of the forums.
