Just as we finished our hands-on and a review of Aion, NCsoft just dropped us a huge bomb.

This trailer was called “Visions of the Future”, and when we heard about the title we thought it was gonna be another update hints.

Oh MAN we were wrong.

We still haven’t received the official press release, but so far we can tell few things that’s coming for Aion players in the future:

• Graphical upgrade: As of now, Aion is being called one of the prettiest MMO. Looks like NCsoft is going to be raising their bar. We also witnessed a real-time snowing effect for the cities which was nice.
• Underwater cities + swimming: The players will be able to swim and have battles under, above and between the waters.
• Taming monsters to mount: You can ride them for transportation purpose, or you can attack monsters with your own tamed pet monster.
• Huge, HUGE PvP system: At the end of the video, we witnessed a HUGE summoned machine that crashes everything in the town. There’s rumor that it’s the new town siege system, where players (or triggered NPCs) can make their own cities for the PvP.

It’s an epic update, indeed.
Once we get more information out of it, we’ll let you know.
