Aion is launching patch 5.3 on March 8

Is Aion one of those games for you that you keep meaning to check out again but need a good reason to do so? If so, does a massive update count as “reason to do so”? Because the game is launching patch 5.3 on March 8th, and it should contain more than enough to keep your interest running for a while with a new arena style and the new Dredgion defense queue. Players in the latter will be tasked with stopping a massive invasion force, fighting against it as long as possible along with the first 383 other players to queue up and take the fight to the invaders.

There are also new item systems and simplified old systems, so you should be able to get new gear to upgrade and have an easier time with older gear. You can also create custom skill chains, if that’s your preference. And all of that is just the tip of the iceberg; you’ll just have to wait until March 8th to explore all of the changes yourself. It’s just a week, that’s not so bad.

We're taking a sneak peek at the new 5.3 update TOMORROW at 4:00pm PST on https://t.co/xzU4Mc9Upm! pic.twitter.com/YoENaEWC8L
