Lineage 2 And Aion Coming To Steam This Fall

In an unanticipated move Lineage 2 on Steam some time this Fall. Both game are free to play, but whether their presence on the digital distribution platform makes an impact is questionable. But NCSoft does continue to their titles, having recently released a major content update for Lineage 2 titled Underground on October 14, 2015, and Aion's Upheavel patch released in June, 2015—adding two new raids, two new zones, and abilities.

Jeff Pabst, vice president of Commerce NCSOFT West stated "Bringing Lineage II and Aion to Steam was a natural next step for both titles to further grow their prominence in the West," and "Both Lineage II and Aion have dedicated fan-bases, and we're excited to work with Steam to enable even more players to experience these heritage titles."

There will undoubtedly be an influx of players but will they stick around? Personally, I would be surprised if new players make a home in either Aion or Lineage 2. More than likely the move to Steam will attract former players of both titles, bringing a small influx.
