The Korean closed beta of
Aion has silently moved along to its second stage, and AionSource has been able to share
a great wealth of new screenshots with those of us on the outside. The game has always managed to impress with its visual style, and the new screens show off various locations in the sci-fi/fantasy MMO (which runs on Crytek's
CryEngine 1, the game engine from the
Far Cry series, for those that are interested in that sort of thing).
Looking at the pictures, we can't help but be reminded of the
previously discussed aerial aspect of the game, with player characters frequently shown well above ground level thanks to their trusty wings -- well, we hope that they're trusty, as we don't want to live in fear of deadly plummeting carcasses. Even still, we're anxious to find out when the rest of the world will get to give
Aion a try.
