\o/

I can't even begin to say how excited I am to be able to deliver this news to everyone. For me personally, this has been 3 years in the making. Even though the news was let out early, it still doesn't overshadow the fact that Aion's most important announcement yet has arrived.

Aion has official release dates for North America and Europe!

NA
09/22/2009

EU
09/25/2009

Now, before you go all "OMG non-simultaneous release dates! NCsoft lied!" on me you have to realize that game retailers in NA and game retailers in EU put product on their shelves different days of the week.

However, I was told that early access service for Aion NA and EU should still launch on the same day,but know that with all dates and statements are subject to change. Once we have official word, we'll let you know!

From www.AionOnline.com

Your adventures in Aion begin this September! NCsoft is proud to announce that Aion launches in North America on September 22, 2009 and makes its official debut in Europe starting September 25, 2009.

There is no 25th month. Silly date format. ;)

Are those EU or US editions of the game, or will that be decided depending on the winner's region?
