On the eve of Aion's North American launch, NCsoft is promising that early adopters of the fantasy MMO will not be disappointed by its future support.

"There will be at least one major update a year," said NCsoft brand manager Christian-Peter Heimbach to VG247.

Added Heimbach: "We're currently adjusting on how we're going to make these available, but there will be free content updates for all players, and we're looking then at how big the major updates will be."

Aion launches tomorrow for North America and Friday in Europe.
