Announced in May 2006 (just prior to E3), Aion is an MMOG that gives players something that they have never experienced before: the ability to fly. While other games provide flying as a means of travel or as a gimmick, Aion allows players to use flying as a strategic advantage in combat, allowing them to take to the sky for certain maneuvers and tactics, making flight an extention of the combat system. Players will engage in PvPvE (Player vs Player vs Environment) as a dynamic war is raged against the opposing faction and and the Balaur, a non-playable race of creatures.

Players can control either the Elyos (angel-like beings) or the Asmodians (demon-like creatures), yet a third faction exists, the Balaur. The Balaur function as NPCs and are designed to be unpredictable when they appear, for example, during siege-like stages. They are described as Draconic-like beings.

Players can choose from one of four archetypes that then expand later into one of two final classes after they ascend, becoming a Daeva. Daevas are protectors created from Aether and bound to the protection of Atreia from the Balaur. As players level up, they will eventually be able to enter the battleground that pits the three races against each other known as the Abyss.
