European AION 2 players should prepare for AION 2 EU maintenance that will temporarily take game login offline. The downtime starts on October 25, 2026 at 2:30 CEST (October 24 at 17:30 PDT), and servers will be unavailable for 2 hours 30 minutes.
When Does the AION 2 EU Maintenance Start?
The scheduled start is October 24, 2026 at 17:30 PDT, which corresponds to October 25, 2026 at 2:30 CEST. Players in other regions should convert these times to their local time zone before planning their sessions.
How Long Will the Servers Be Down?
The maintenance is expected to last 2 hours 30 minutes. The notice affects the game servers, so game login will be temporarily unavailable for the full window. No end time is listed separately, so the 2.5-hour duration is the figure to plan around.
What Is Being Changed? The CEST to CET Adjustment
The main update tied to this AION 2 server maintenance is an adjustment for the switch from Central European Summer Time (CEST) to Central European Time (CET). The notice does not list any other changes, so this should be treated as a timing and service update rather than a content patch. For the most recent content changes, see the AION 2 patch notes from October 20-21.
What Players Should Know Before Maintenance Begins
- Once maintenance begins, you will be disconnected from the game.
- Save your progress and finish any activities in progress before the start time.
- Expect no login access until the maintenance window closes.
Schedule Changes and Where to Find Updates
The maintenance schedule and details are subject to change at any time. Any changes will be posted as an update to the original notice, so players checking AION 2 downtime information should refer back to the official announcement for the latest timing.

The publisher thanks players for their patience and apologizes for any inconvenience.
