Fantasy MMORPG AION Classic Europe Adds Killer New Class in “Rise of the Revenant” 2.7 Update

A new year brings new adventures, as Gameforge welcomes 2024 with an announcement for a brand new update to fantasy MMORPGAION Classic Europe: Update 2.7, Rise of the Revenant, coming soon.

This update introduces the killer new “Revenant” class, which is exclusive to AION Classic, giving fans an additional reason to jump into this nostalgic server. These are Daeva soldiers who had been taken prisoner by Tiamat’s Legion and subsequently brainwashed and experimented on. Eventually breaking free, they regain their memories and return safely back to Atreia to be reborn again. However, these survivors are bitter towards their superiors, who they feel have forgotten about the sacrifice of their comrades. Instead, they rebel, electing to forge a different path for themselves.

“I will become a Daeva who decides and executes my own destiny.”

Update 2.7 brings with it a newly added starting region, Telos, accessible exclusively by Soldiers (starting class) and Revenants (Soldiers who’ve become Revenants by completing special missions). Created by Siel’s Relic, Telos is a space where the memories of Tiamat and Daeva Subject 707 have coalesced, creating an unstable spacetime flux. However, the trade-off is that the Revenant class cannot complete certain campaigns in Ishalgen, Altgard, Poeta, and Verteron.

Overview of the new instances in Update 2.7, Rise of the Revenant:

• A new instance: Sunken Telos has been added
  • Can be entered through Silentera Canyon 
  • Playable by two to six players, level 51 or higher
  • Accessible once per week (resets Wednesday 09:00 CET)
• The Red Throne: Telos has been added
  • Can be entered through Silentera Canyon 
  • Playable by two to six players, level 55 only
  • Accessible once per week (resets Wednesday 09:00 CET)
• Abyssal Splinter can now be entered by the faction not occupying the Divine Fortress

Additionally, new systems such as the Book of Legends and Moreth, Chronicle of Time have been added. The Book of Legends system is completed by collecting items through adventures in Atreia, with special rewards obtained after completion. This can be done on a character-by-character basis. The Moreth, Chronicle of Time system is for characters above level 50. Points for leveling up the system are obtained by recording items, with 50 being the maximum level the system can reach. A PvE skill can be received in reward which deals more damage against Balaur, with the damage increasing the higher the Moreth level.
