We have just learned of a production delay that will impact our ability to deliver Seeds of Unity on the originally announced dates, for both players and retailers. While we have since worked with our manufacturing partner to resolve this setback, we’re still deeply disappointed to have to share this news. We are now working closely together to accelerate the upcoming shipping stages and make up for the delay.

This production setback also requires us to postpone the launch of the Roots of Corruption campaign. To provide you with a clear view of the weeks ahead, here is the updated schedule of upcoming dates.

• Retailers (Europe & North America) → Starting February 23 (formerly February 9)

• Retailers (Rest of World) → Starting March 9

• Backers (Europe & North America) → Starting March 2 (formerly February 16)

• Backers (Rest of World) → Starting March 16

• Official Release Date → February 27 (formerly February 13)
• Prerelease Events → Starting February 27
• Set Availability on Board Game Arena → February 27

• Seeds of Unity Demo Decks available on BGA → February 12
• Official BGA Demo Deck Tournament → February 22 (formerly February 8)

To celebrate the Seeds of Unity Reveal Season, Equinox is organizing an online Demo Deck Tournament! The decklists and details will be revealed next week, 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!

Thursday, February 26 will mark the final day of Season 4: Skybound Odyssey. You will have until 11:59 PM (UTC+1) to complete your Adventure Pass, and stores will have one week to validate their events. Season 4 rewards will be distributed on March 6, 2026.

Season 5: Seeds of Unity begins on February 27. 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.

However, to ensure you are not disadvantaged by the production delay of Seeds of Unity, all players will be granted two Adventure Pass levels. These will be deployed at the start of Season 5 to compensate for the set's two-week delay.

The Roots of Corruption campaign, which you can already preview on Gamefound, is being postponed accordingly to ensure all backers have enough time to receive their Seeds of Unity orders.

• Retailer Pledge Opening (Shop Orders) → Tuesday, March 3
• Gamefound Campaign Launch (Individual Orders) → Tuesday, March 10
• Gamefound Campaign End → Friday, March 20 at 5:59 PM (UTC+1)

The Winter, Spring and Summer Season Finals are not affected by these changes and remain scheduled for their previously announced periods. As the Winter Finals took place this past Sunday, February 1, players can already begin qualifying for the Spring Finals as of Monday, February 2, without waiting for the official release of Seeds of Unity.

Our most ambitious Patch Note to date is scheduled to accompany Seeds of Unity. To help you familiarize yourself with the many updates, it will be published shortly before the set's release, on February 10. It will then take effect on February 12. With this Patch Note, our goal is to refresh the current meta and allow you to experiment with your cards from Year 2.

We thank you infinitely for your patience and support, and we cannot wait to see you opening your Seeds of Unity booster packs!
