The new year is here, and the road to Seeds of Unity is officially open! We’ve got fresh news to share and a roadmap for the upcoming weeks to keep you ahead of the game until release day.

Seeds of Unity is currently in full production, with delivery scheduled for February. It will be carried out in two stages: first to retail stores, allowing them to host their pre-release events and prepare their own shipments, followed by all backers starting the following week.

• Retail → Starting February 9
• Backers → Starting February 16

In-store events will begin on February 13, 2026, the date from which retailers can start hosting their pre-releases. To streamline the launch of Seeds of Unity for both stores and players, February 13 marks both the pre-release events and the official set release. This allows everyone to participate in pre-releases and pick up their in-store orders on the same day.

Seeds of Unity will therefore be tournament-legal starting February 13 and will also be available on Board Game Arena on that same date.

• Official Release Date → February 13
• Pre-releases → Starting February 13
• Board Game Arena availability → February 13

Several official events and tournaments are scheduled leading up to the release of Seeds of Unity!

January 31-February 1st: Winter Season Finals

Secure your spot for the Winter Season Finals by signing up for an in-store Qualifier Event or by joining an online qualifying event through our partner Community Leagues! The Winter Season Finals is an official online event hosted on Board Game Arena, offering you a chance to qualify for the 2026 World Championship Finals!

Sunday February 8: Seeds of Unity Demo Deck Tournament

To celebrate the Seeds of Unity Reveal Season, Equinox is organizing an online Demo Deck Tournament! The decklists and details will be revealed a few days before the event, and the decks will remain available throughout Season 5—perfect for discovering the new set and for new players.

As always, the tournament is free and open to everyone, with current season rewards up for grabs!

February 12: End of Season 4

Thursday, February 12 will mark the final day of Season 4: Skybound Odyssey. You will have until 11:59 PM to complete your Adventure Pass, and stores will have one week to validate their events. Season 4 rewards will be distributed on February 20, 2026.

Season 5: Seeds of Unity begins on February 13. Any event organized from this date onwards will count toward the Season 5 Adventure Pass. We’ll also deploy an overhaul of the Adventure Pass on this same day, more to come on this matter in the following weeks.

The second half of the Seeds of Unity Reveal Season resumes on January 29! You can expect the reveal of all remaining cards in the set, the Season 5 Organized Play program, design deep-dive articles, community events, and new lore entries!

The final wave of Digital Pledge deliveries containing the Unique Packs was launched in early January. You should have received an email notifying you that your cards have been assigned to your account.

The winners of our Launch Offer have been drawn! At the very beginning of the Seeds of Unity campaign, we offered the chance to win 2 Collector Boosters for those who validated their pledge within the first 24 hours.

50 backers have been randomly selected and contacted by email to confirm the addition of these 2 Collector Boosters to their order. Congratulations to all the winners!

We are still missing shipping information for some of you! Without a validated Pledge Manager and your shipping details, we will be unable to deliver your orders. If you have received our email reminders but have not yet validated your pledge, you can do so here:
