Set 200 years after the collapse of the Tower of Aion, players choose between the Elyos and Asmodian races and explore a ruined world dominated by Dragon Lords. The seamless open world allows free flight to almost any visible location, with exploration elements scattered across high cliffs and ravines. Content includes solo and multiplayer options, mini-games, and dungeons where both races can be matched together.
