The Beacon has launched Season 1: Goblin’s Gambit, the game’s first live seasonal experience. The season runs from May 25 to June 14, 2026 and allocates over 7,700,000 $BCN in rewards. It introduces Kraken Klash, a new prediction-based board game layered on top of the core dungeon loop, and supports co-op play for the first time.
New players entering the season can also read our The Beacon beginner guide, which explains how to start, where to find dungeons, how stamina works, and how Umbra Shards, Gobloonz, chests, and Premium access connect.
What Changed
- Season 1 introduces Kraken Klash, a prediction-based board game layered on top of the core dungeon loop.
- Players can follow two reward paths: run dungeons for steady Umbra Chest rewards or convert Umbra Shards into Gobloonz to play Kraken Klash for higher-risk, higher-reward gameplay.
- The full gameplay loop is free to play. Premium Access unlocks NFT cosmetics, a larger share of the $BCN reward pool, and expanded stamina options.
- A new set of exclusive cosmetics, including some of the rarest items released so far, are available only during Season 1.
- Dungeon difficulty starts lower for the first few days before increasing. Zone 2 with longer and harder dungeons arrives mid-week.
Dates and Rollout
- Season 1 launched on May 25 at 16:00 UTC.
- Season 1 ends on June 14, 2026 at 7:00 PM.
- Zone 2 and additional content (Official Marketplace and House Builder) are scheduled to arrive during the week of launch.
Numbers and Rules
- Over 7,700,000 $BCN is allocated for Season 1 rewards across the Base Pool and Bonus Pool systems.
- Three chest types are available: Umbra Chests (Umbra Shards), Kraken Chests (Gobloonz), and Glint Chests (Glint).
- Cosmetics earned by free players are account-bound. Premium players receive fully owned NFTs.
- Gobloonz can be obtained by converting Umbra Shards or by purchasing them with Glint.
