NCSoft announced on the 2nd that it held the "Game of G-Star" trophy award ceremony at the NCSoft R&D Center in Pangyo the previous day.

The "Game of G-Star," hosted by the Korea Game Media Association and the Korea Game Journalists Club, is awarded annually to the game with the highest overall quality-including gameplay, graphics, and story-among the titles showcased at G-Star. The award was established in 2018 and marks its eighth year in 2025.

"Aion 2" launched in Korea and Taiwan on November 19 and surpassed 1.5 million daily active users (DAU) just two days after release. One week later, the cumulative number of created characters exceeded 2.53 million.

Namjoon Kim, Development PD of NCSoft Aion 2, said, "It is thanks to the support and interest from so many users that 'Aion 2' was selected as the Game of G-Star. We will continue to listen to our users' feedback and strive to further develop the game to live up to this award."

Taeksu Lee, Chairman of the Korea Game Media Association, commented, "I hope NCSoft, starting with 'Aion 2,' will once again reclaim its reputation as a leading MMORPG developer and be recognized by gamers as a top-tier studio."
