Greetings to all Splinterlands players and members of the Hive gaming community! There are two updates coming to the Splinterlands: The Reckoning and Dragon’s Feast 2026. Both updates bring new activities for players in the Splinterlands game. These announcements are worth checking out for players who want to get more involved in the game.
The first announcement is Dragon’s Feast 2026. It's a seasonal celebration beginning on November 17 until November 30. This year's event introduces 30 new skins featuring 15 characters, divided into two collections: Bountiful and Wyrm touched.
There is also a new battle modifier called Everyone Feasts, which gives every unit the Life Leech and Scavenger abilities. This creates interesting possibilities for team compositions and should make battles more exciting. But this is an interesting contrast to the also new modifier called Plague Rot.
Plague Rot reverses the effects of Life Leech and Scavenger skills.
Back to skins, players can obtain skins through the Rewards Shop, reward chests, Sparks Shop and Frontier Jackpot Chests. Special Dragon’s Feast stickers will also be available for collectors. All Bountiful and Wyrm touched skins are tradable. Remember to wait until the November 17 maintenance is complete before opening reward chests if you want a chance at the new skins.
The second update is The Reckoning. It's a new 15 card mini set featuring five Common, five Rare, three Epic and two Legendary cards. It also introduces three new abilities: Reckoning, Necrosis, and Unbaited. These abilities offer new strategies against high health opponents and teams relying on Taunt.
The update also introduces a weekly Fortune Draw program with three participation tiers. Players can spend DEC weekly to receive Reckoning packs and qualify for special draws. Another update is the Longshot Brothers, Leo and Leeroy, who bring a Second Chance Draw for players who miss out on the main rewards.
Pre-payment starts November 24 while general distribution starts December 8. The first Fortune Draw takes place December 18.
Overall, both updates bring something exciting to the game. Dragon’s Feast offers new collectibles and festive activities, while Reckoning provides a new cards that will shake the meta. I'm looking forward for these new additions.
