Soundtrack

0:00 The soundtrack of Aion 2 is The Echoes of Eternity, a 70-track album released on Nov 19, 2025, the day the game launched in Korea and Taiwan. Directed by NCSOUND for NC, it is arranged in three chapters, Legacy of Light, Atreia Chronicle and Invasion, and mixes new music with themes from the original Aion. Its title track, The Tower of Eternity: Into the New World, was co-composed by Simon Franglen and Ryo Kunihiko (Yang Bang Ean), recorded at AIR Studios in London and performed by the Chamber Orchestra of London; NCSOUND published its music video on YouTube the same day (NC).

Quick facts

Composers and performers

NC's launch announcement credits a large international cast. Beside Franglen and Kunihiko, the composers it names include Kevin Penkin, Piotr Musial and Fran Soto. The Hound + The Fox and Amanda Kayrae sing, guitarist Chun Sang Hyeok plays, and three orchestras recorded parts of the album: the Chamber Orchestra of London, the Synchron Stage Orchestra and Korea's DITTO Orchestra (NC).

The full track credits on Qobuz, which lists the album under Simon Franglen, Ryo Kunihiko and NCSOUND, add many more writers, among them Rei Kondoh, Or Kribos, Michal Cielecki, Mattia Turzo, Apollon de Moura, Jean-Gabriel Raynaud and Cedric Baravaglio, together with NC composers such as Kyeom Lee, Inro Joo, Jinock Kim, Minsoo Kim, Hokeun Song, Hyunjun Cho and Woorim An. Kunihiko shares credit on many of the first chapter's tracks.

NC's announcement describes the album as blending nostalgia from the original Aion with Aion 2's own musical story. Three themes of the 2008 game return in new versions: Tower of Eternity, Forgotten Sorrow and Darkness in Your Heart. The Tower of Eternity, whose collapse sets up the sequel (Story and Lore), names both the old main theme and the new title track.

Chapter 1: Legacy of Light

0:00 Part 1 of 6 of Legacy of Light, released by NCSOUND as a pre-release, opens with the title track, The Tower of Eternity: Into the New World.

4:35 Its second track is Eternal Dream.

8:20 Its third is Song of Moonlight: Garden of the Gods.

NCSOUND uploaded that part on Nov 12, 2025, a week before launch.

It also holds the theme of Kromede, the boss of the Fire Temple.

Music in the game and the trailers

42:29 The music has admirers inside NC's own publishing team. On the first global livestream in August 2026, one of NC America's hosts said the music was something he really loved about Aion 2, and that the character creator's theme was so good he spent about three hours there with his headphones on (Character Creation).

The global client reached its first wide western audience in the open Launch Scale Test of Sep 17 and 18, 2026. Reviewing the test for MassivelyOP, Tyler F.M. Edwards gave the soundtrack some of his strongest praise, alongside the world design he called the game's greatest strength (MassivelyOP; Reception and Revenue).

42:10 TheLazyPeon, summing up what he liked about the test, counted the music and sound effects as quite good.
