Seasons Guide FAQ
When does AION 2 Season 1 end?
Guides put it at the December 15, 2026 maintenance (PT), which is December 16 in Europe and Asia. NC has only confirmed that the Daeva Pass sells until then.
Do I lose my gear when a new season starts?
No. Your character, gear and progress stay. Seasonal rankings are what reset.
Is Global on the same season as Korea?
No. Korea started Season 1 in November 2025 and is far ahead, so Korean season news does not apply to Global yet.
