What NC announced
On October 5, 2026 — launch day, per the October 5 global launch date — the AION 2 team posted a "Graphics Card Giveaway" notice on the official notice board. One Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the single prize. The notice frames it as tied to "AION 2's Advanced Access and global launch."
The event runs October 5 through October 12 at 23:59 PDT, which NC lists as October 5 through October 13 at 8:59 CEST. Entry is handled on a Gleam giveaway page linked from the notice; we did not open that page, so the entry mechanics below are exactly as the notice describes them.
Who can enter and how entries work
Eligibility is limited to residents of the United States, Canada and Europe, with six European countries excluded: Belgium, the Netherlands, Serbia, Slovakia, Italy and Portugal. Residents elsewhere, including Asia and Oceania, are not eligible under the notice.
You need to complete at least one action, and more actions mean more entries: playing AION 2 for one hour on Steam (+10 entries); joining Discord, following on YouTube, or following on Twitch (+3 each); following on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok or Facebook (+1 each). The Steam action is by far the heaviest-weighted. The game itself needs no purchase to play — see whether AION 2 is free to play — and you can check your PC against the system requirements first.
As of October 7, 2026, NC has not published a winner-selection date or notification method in the notice; treat the October 12 cutoff as the only confirmed deadline.
