Gameforge quietly posted a clean AION + AION Classic EU roadmap for the first half of 2026—and it’s one of those “small” posts that actually tells you a lot about their priorities.
The roadmap comes with a clear warning: some dates aren’t definitive and may change.
Here’s the breakdown (month-by-month), plus the useful takeaways for players.

What this roadmap signals (the useful interpretation)
1) They’re pacing the year around “big beats” in both versions
You’ve got Classic 4.5 → Classic Anniversary → Classic 5.0 stacked across the half-year, while Live gets its big drop with Update 8.6.
That’s a pretty deliberate “don’t let either community go cold” cadence.
2) The “Change Events” are doing heavy lifting
Class Change and Faction Change being highlighted is a big hint: they’re treating player flexibility as a feature, not a one-off gimmick.
That’s especially relevant in periods where metas shift hard after major updates.
3) It’s a low-drama roadmap (and that’s not a bad thing)
No wild promises. No “ten new systems.” Just a steady drumbeat of updates and events—with the safety line that dates can move.
For AION, that kind of boring is often healthy.
What’s not here (and why that matters)
The roadmap doesn’t spell out:
-
exact release days (beyond the month blocks),
-
patch note details,
-
or anything about Aion 2/global (this is EU AION + Classic EU roadmap).
So treat this as a planning calendar, not a spec sheet.
