Sign in to your TheGamer account Since its full release yesterday, Aion 2 has drawn a lot of attention. The game used a ton of generative AI tools during its development, but despite this, it still had the fourth-biggest game launch on Steam in 2026. As more people come to play the game, though, another of its... features is drawing attention. In the hours since its release, and a short while before, Aion 2's breast slider has been an eye-opening experience. Aion 2's Boob Slider Is All The Rage Following The Game's Launch Aion 2's boob slider is excessive. It lets you adjust your female character's boobs to sizes that put games like Dead or Alive, or more recently, The First Descendant, to shame. Naturally, the gooners are having a field day. Videos of the customization have taken off on social media, with one alone receiving 15.5 million views in under 24 hours. It exclaims that "Aion 2 is a goddamn masterpiece!!!" This tweet served as a kind of call to action for gooners who weren't aware of Aion 2, with many expressing a desire to play the game after watching the video. The slider escaped social media too, making its way to YouTube, and it's likely to be part of studies for years to come. Aion 2's breast customization was juxtaposed with that in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, which offered players the complete opposite. While Aion players can get giant honkers, The Veilguard players were reduced to much smaller breasts, which caused a controversy of its own at the time. However, while those creating female characters were clearly ecstatic with their options, those using men weren't too pleased. There was no similar slider for the male genitals, and some took issue with this. "Aion 2 men are castrated mannequins. No dick. No balls. A flat, sexless crotch under the briefs, like the devs were scared of a penis. Women get the tits, the ass, the whole pinup mesh. One sex is a product. The other got neutered in the character creator. That’s not design. That’s contempt," said one unhappy player.
