PANGYO, KOREA -- October 31, 2025 -- At NVIDIA’s GeForce Gamer Festival yesterday, NCSOFT partnered with the tech giant to celebrate GeForce’s 25th anniversary in Korea by bringing its two premiere titles, Aion 2 and Cinder City, for attendees to play. The festival featured NCSOFT as the only partner offering hands-on gameplay, giving local visitors the first opportunity to experience the latest playable builds and new trailers for both titles.
Watch the two new trailers here:
“NCSOFT has long collaborated with NVIDIA in pursuit of high-quality graphics and new technologies,” said NCSOFT's Chief Business Officer (CBO) and Vice President Sunggu Lee, while onstage. “We look forward to players’ continued support for Aion 2 and Cinder City, which is being developed using NVIDIA’s latest advancements.”
Aion 2 is NCSOFT's next-generation MMORPG, counting down to its official launch in Korea and Taiwan on Wednesday, November 19. Aion 2 will arrive in the US and Europe in 2026. Renowned for its stunning visuals and expansive PVE content, the title reimagines the essence of the Aion franchise for a new era. The newly revealed trailer showcases its dynamic class-driven combat system and the iconic flight and gliding mechanics that define the Aion universe.
Seunguk Baek, CBO and Executive Vice President leading the Aion 2’s development, added “We’re developing Aion 2 as the ultimate evolution of Aion experience—preserving the spirit and worldview of the original while pushing the boundaries of our technology.”
Cinder City, developed by NCSOFT’s studio BigFire Games (CEO Jaehyun “James” Bae), is an open-world tactical shooter set in a post-apocalyptic Seoul. Introduced as an RTX flagship title at NVIDIA’s Gamescom event in Cologne, Germany, last August, the latest trailer features urban battlefields inspired by Seoul districts such as Samseong-dong, strategic combat with advanced gear and weapons, and key narrative moments centered around the main character, Joi.
“Cinder City is being developed with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge technology to deliver large-scale co-op gameplay, letting players experience the excitement of teamwork in a vast open-world setting,” said Jaehyun Bae.
