Phase 3 - Expansion of the Aion Universe

Once the core features and content of Phase 2 have been implemented and the economy balanced and solidified, Warsong Studios will look to begin expanding into new games that will widen the scope of the Aion Universe. An existing team will remain permanently on Aion Rising to constantly create new gameplay content, progression systems, and to make balance changes as required.

Our first expansion of the Aion Universe will be Aion Kingdoms - a land management game that will connect to Aion Rising through the greater Aion ecosystem. Our vision is to, step-by-step, build out the Aion Universe through a variety of games and modules which complement each other, and through shared tokenization and in-game resources, combine to form a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. We have no dates set for Aion Kingdoms or any of our other expansion ideas - our current focus remains shipping Aion Rising and finding its audience and the right economy balance before looking to expand.
