Season 3 schedule and highlights

Season 3 will officially premiere on December 4, 2025, and the Gold Rush S3 in-game event will be activated on the same day for 10 days. According to Tempest Labs, the recent season introduces regions and economic mechanics that are intended to change resource dynamics and territorial control.
- Last season: over 20,000 vigorous players, $1.5 million in prizes and almost 1,000,000 online transactions, according to the data included in the announcement.
- Funding: The expansion includes a $2.0 million strategic round led by Bitkraft and Sky Mavis aimed at developing and improving the game’s economy.

Game economics and technical architecture
Season 3 reconfigures economics and digital ownership beyond the addition of content. The team envisions recent sources of resources, NPCs with economic functions, and mechanics aimed at intensifying the interplay between asset ownership and strategic advantages.
The note highlights that ownership of certain NFTs provides resource generation capabilities and territorial control, that will impact the competitiveness of the game and shape how players gain an advantage.
Technically, Cambria migrates to the abstract chain while maintaining cross-chain integration with Ronin and Blast, a change presented as improving scalability and operational efficiency. These decisions impact product performance and regulatory compliance, especially around transaction queue management, asset custody, and traceability of on-chain movements.
The next confirmed milestone will be the Early Access Test which will take place on November 28, 2025 at 11:00 AM ET. followed by a general opening on December 4. The season will test the feasibility of recent economic design and technical migration, with direct implications for liquidity, asset management and operational requirements for custodians and compliance teams. Next Verified Milestone: Docs Live November 26; Early Access Test November 28-30.
