AION 2 Timers: Spacetime Rift, Artifact Siege and Reset Countdowns

AION 2 event schedule (UTC)

The Shugo Festival has its own page with a countdown, all nine minigames and the Reward Keys: AION 2 Shugo Festival timer. For dated events such as Ludra's return on November 4, see AION 2 Ludra: date and rewards.

AION 2 Spacetime Rift timer: how the rift works

A Spacetime Rift opens every 3 hours on the hour. The portal lets players in for the first 10 minutes, so be at it on time; once you are through, you have about an hour on the other faction's map. NC names Spacetime Rifts as one of the ways the two factions meet, since Elyos and Asmodians otherwise live on their own servers.

It is one global rift timer: NA, Europe, Latin America and Asia servers all open their rifts at the same moment, every 3 hours from 00:00 UTC. On European and US clocks that is:

Each cell shows summer time / winter time. Europe moves its clocks back on October 25, 2026 and the US on November 1, 2026. The rift has followed UTC so far; we check the times again after each clock change.

• Pets from the other side. Some pets only live on the enemy map; the AION 2 pet farming guide says which ones to go for during your hour.
• Moving servers? NC says your Spacetime Rift time moves with your character on a server transfer, along with your Abyss time.

AION 2 world boss timers

Field bosses have no fixed global timetable. The game lists them on the map: each boss shows Spawned, or the time left until it appears, and opening it shows its details and a travel button.

To find it: open the map and go to Exploration > Field Boss. The Abyss has two fixed fights on top of that: the Artifact Siege on Monday, Thursday and Saturday, with its siege bosses about 30 minutes later.

Every field boss with its respawn time, a kill tracker and the Abyss boss countdowns are on the AION 2 world boss timer page.

AION 2 daily and weekly reset times

The daily reset is at 07:00 UTC and the weekly reset on Wednesday at 07:00 UTC, at the same moment on every global server. The countdowns above show both in your own time. Use up the day's entries before the daily reset, and weekly ones before Wednesday's.

AION 2 maintenance timer

NC's weekly maintenance has started on Tuesday at 23:30 Pacific time (Wednesday morning in Europe) every week since launch: October 6, 13 and 20. It has lasted 3.5 to 5.5 hours, and the game login is unavailable while it runs. NC posts each one, with its exact length, a day or two ahead; extra maintenances, such as the Europe one for the clock change on October 24, come with their own notice.

When the game is down for maintenance, nothing runs, resets included. Every maintenance NC announces, with its exact length, is on the AION 2 news and patch notes page; if you still cannot log in afterwards, see AION 2 “unable to connect to login server”.

How we checked these times

NC has not published the global event times. Events whose times are not confirmed yet, such as some Abyss bosses and the arena windows, are left out for now. Clocks change in Europe on October 25 and in North America on November 1; we check the schedule again after each change. Checked on October 22, 2026.
