AION 2 Launch Gift Mounts: Official Claim Deadlines and Steps
✓ Last verified 2026-10-22 · How we check facts
Quick answer
The AION 2 launch gift is two free mounts sent to in-game mail after you log in, for players who create an account by the official deadline. NC's page gives Dec 2, 2026 for account creation and Dec 9, 2026 for claiming, and the Steam page lists times one hour later.
AION 2 launch gift mounts are two free mounts that NC's official contents page offers to players who create an account by the launch deadline. The reward is sent to the in-game mail box after you log in, and it is granted once per region. The saved official text does not name the two mounts, so this page does not name them either. Use the deadline table below, pick the earlier hour when sources disagree, and claim before the mail window closes. The rest of this page covers the claim steps, the common mistakes and what the official text leaves open.

AION 2 Launch Gift Mounts at a Glance
The table gives the official details for the launch gift. Every line comes from the NC contents page, which is the official source for the gift.
| Item | Official detail | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Reward | Two free mounts, sent to the in-game mail box | NC contents page |
| Who | Everyone who creates an AION 2 account by the deadline | NC contents page |
| Limit | Granted once per region | NC contents page |
| Claim window | Claim by Dec 9, 2026, 3:30 PM JST | NC contents page |
The official PET section of the NC contents page is the page to check if any detail changes before your deadline. The gift is described as a login reward, so you do not need a coupon code to receive it.
Deadlines by Source
The NC page and the Steam store page give the same launch window in different time zones, and the hours do not match. The table puts both side by side, so you can plan from the one that is earlier.
| Source | Create account by | Claim by |
|---|---|---|
| NC contents page | Dec 2, 2026, 3:30 PM JST | Dec 9, 2026, 3:30 PM JST |
| Steam store page | Dec 1, 2026, 11:30 PM PT, before maintenance (Dec 2, 8:30 AM CET) | Dec 8, 2026, 11:30 PM PT, before the mail expires (Dec 9, 8:30 AM CET) |
The two sources differ by one hour once you convert them to JST. The Steam times land at 4:30 PM JST on the same dates, one hour after the NC page. The safe choice is the earlier time, 3:30 PM JST on each date. The Steam page describes the reward as Pre-Registration and Steam Wishlist reward items, so check the official pages if you need the exact item list.
How to Claim the Gift Step by Step
- Create your AION 2 account before the account deadline. The NC page's deadline is Dec 2, 2026, 3:30 PM JST, and the earlier time is the one to use.
- Log in to the game. The official text describes the mounts as a reward for logging in, so the login is the step that triggers the gift.
- Open the in-game mail box and look for the launch gift message. The official text says the mounts are sent there.
- Claim the mounts before the claim window closes. Use Dec 9, 2026, 3:30 PM JST as the latest time on the NC page, and the earlier of the two if you check the Steam page as well.
- Remember that the reward is granted once per region. Plan which character and account you use before you claim.
Each step depends only on the official wording. If the mail or the in-game menu looks different in your client, use the official page as the reference rather than a guide's screenshot.
Common Mistakes
- Planning from the Steam hour instead of the NC hour. The Steam times are one hour later in JST, so the earlier time is safer.
- Waiting until the last day to log in. The gift depends on logging in, so sign in well before the claim window closes.
- Looking for a coupon code. The official text describes this as a login reward, and the gift does not need one.
- Expecting a second copy in the same region. The official text says the reward is granted once per region.
What the Official Text Leaves Open
The saved official text does not name the two mounts. It also does not give their stats, glide or transform details, or any mount list. Those details come from the AION 2 pet mounts hub, which explains how pet mounts work in general, and from the AION 2 all mounts page for the wider categories.
| Detail | Status in the sources | Where to look |
|---|---|---|
| Mount names | Not in the saved official text | NC contents page |
| Mount stats | Not in the saved official text | AION 2 pet mounts hub |
| Glide and transform rules | Covered by guides, with conflicts | AION 2 pet mounts hub |
Check the NC page before you plan around the gift, because the official deadline controls your claim. If the page changes, the deadlines in this table may change with it, and the table will need an update.
