AION is a multi-faceted story set within a mythical world, involving the oppositional Angelic and Demonic races and the growing common threat posed by the emerging Draconic race. In the AION universe, the actions of individual characters shape and advance the game's storylines with the potential to alter the dynamics of the game's environment as well as character alliances.

NCsoft and Shanda also announced a strategic alliance pursuant to which Shanda will become a strategic investor of NCsoft's Chinese subsidiary, NCsoft China, to enhance their collaboration in China.
