    Earlier this month we showed you some concept images of Aion's new gunslinger class. The Shooting Star, as it's known in Korea, is scheduled to debut in the game's 4.0 build along with two additional classes. MMO Culture has sussed out a gameplay video showing the class in action as well as some artwork featuring a few of the possible weapons. Apparently the Shooting Star will wield two weapon types: pistols featuring fast attacks and low damage and a cannon boasting high damage and comparatively lower speed. Check out the one-minute gameplay clip after the cut. [Update: NCsoft has issued a contest to encourage player artists to submit weapon designs for the new class!]

  • Aion gunslinger class concepts revealed

    There's badassery, and then there's the newly revealed class concept for Aion's forthcoming 4.0 update. You might recall that NCsoft teased three new archetypes via a trio of silhouette images a few weeks ago. Now MMO Culture has published a couple of concept drawings showing off one of the classes, a black-clad gunslinger complete with a fedora, a duster, and a pair of pistols. The images are taken from a Korean dev blog and as is typical with Aion, the updates will go live on the game's Korean servers first before slowly making their way west. If this new Gunner class (loosely translated as Shooting Star from the dev blog) is any indication, though, the updates will be well worth the wait. Head past the break for the images, then click through to the source for further details.
