In an open letter to fans, NCsoft Community Manager Lani "Liv" Blazier confirms the MMO 'Aion' is due for release in Europe and North America in the Autumn of 2009.

In a statement from the game's Executive Producer Lance Stites, the reason for the delay was also given:

"The localization effort is enormous, with a vast amount of content. Aion is not simply being translated, a team of dedicated content writers are re-creating the written dialogue and content to provide AAA quality and to ensure that it is culturally relevant for our audience. We are going to do this launch “right” rather than fast."

Aion, an MMORPG renouned for its cutting-edge graphics, invloves players in a fiecre battle between angels, demons and dragons. It also features music from top Asian musician Yang Bang Ean. Footage of the game can be seen in the video tour of the Altgard zone which was published earlier.
