From the Designers[]

Magic Chess new season, To Be Hero, has arrived! In this season, we're revamping the Superhero synergy and some of the less popular Evolution effects. Keeping the gameplay balance has been increasingly challenging since the release of the Evolution mechanism, so in this season, we're setting that as our primary target.

Magic Chess Season 9[]

Season Finale Rewards[]

Magic Chess S8, Evolution, will end on 04/30/2022 at 00:00:00, after which you'll receive season finale rewards including Bersi "Shadow Reaper"; Premium Skin Fragments, and Magic Coins.

1. The matching system will be closed for two hours for the reward settlement, and after that, on 04/30/2022 at 02:00:00, a new season - S9 To Be Hero will officially begin.

2. Magic Chess Pass will be updated on 04/30 with the new MC Pass skin Rya "Springtime Blush" and new chessboard "Astral Library".
