  • Black Beacon Version 1.3 Officially Delayed Again — Developers Confirm Postponement on Release Day

    Black Beacon Version 1.3 Officially Delayed Again — Developers Confirm Postponement on Release Day

    EZRetro News | October 14, 2025

    The developers of Black Beacon have officially confirmed that Version 1.3 will not release as planned, despite earlier announcements setting its launch for October 14, 2025.

    The news came directly from the game’s official X (Twitter) account, @BB_BlackBeacon, where the team cited ongoing technical difficulties and a need for further optimization before proceeding with the update.

    “Due to persistent technical difficulties and a range of other complex issues, we are currently unable to confirm a definite schedule for the v1.3 update,” the statement read.
    “We deeply apologize for this indefinite postponement and for our inability to deliver the new content as originally planned.”

    The announcement confirmed that Version 1.2 will remain active longer than expected, with rerun banners and events serving as a placeholder until 1.3’s release.

    With Version 1.3 postponed, Black Beacon’s current cycle will focus entirely on rerun content instead of new story chapters or features.

    Character: Yuli (Limited-Time Retrieval Pool)
    Weapon: Graceful Cloudplay (Limited-Time Retrieval Pool)
    Duration: October 14 – November 4, 2025 (UTC + 0)

    Pure Energy Bonus – New Season
    Duration: October 14 – November 27, 2025 (UTC + 0)

    No new gameplay or story content was introduced alongside these reruns.

    As an apology for the indefinite delay, the development team announced a small compensation package for all players who log in during the rerun period:
    Time-Seeking Key × 10
    Large Spherical Fruit × 3
    Claim Period: October 14 – November 5, 2025 (UTC + 0)

    Compensation will be delivered automatically via in-game mail.

    Players will also receive additional login rewards through a limited event running from October 23 to October 29, 2025 (UTC + 0).
    Each reward will be sent via in-game mail and must be claimed within 48 hours after delivery.

    The “Touring Gift” event remains active until October 31, 2025 (UTC + 0) for players still progressing through its objectives.

    Player reaction to the announcement was mixed. Many fans expressed disappointment, as the developers had reaffirmed the October 14 release in earlier communications. Others, however, supported the decision, citing the importance of stability and polish over rushing an unfinished build.

    The Black Beacon team has not shared a new release window for Version 1.3 but confirmed that all future updates will be posted through their official X account (@BB_BlackBeacon) and community channels.

    Next UpdateTo Be Announced

    Personally, this is a huge disappointment. I really had high hopes for Black Beacon, especially after seeing its early promise. It’s becoming an even harder pill to swallow since a lot of games that held so much promise also had similar patterns before shutting down.

    Now, with yet another delay and no clear release window, Black Beacon feels stuck in limbo. Each announcement without new content just chips away at the excitement that once surrounded it.

    That said, I’m still hopeful that the developers can push through and deliver something worthy of the wait. But to be honest, things aren’t looking good for this game’s long-term survivability. That’s just my opinion.

  • Black Beacon’s Uncertain Future: Silence, Delays, and “Doom Posting”

    Black Beacon’s Uncertain Future: Silence, Delays, and “Doom Posting”

    When Black Beacon launched globally in April 2025, it felt like the start of something special. The visuals were striking, the premise had depth, and the early updates showed a team that genuinely cared about quality. Six months later, that early excitement has faded into uncertainty and frustration.

    Version 1.3 was originally set to launch on October 14, 2025. Players had been waiting for it, hoping it would mark the next big step for the game. Instead, the developers announced that the update would be delayed indefinitely. There is no confirmed timeline for its release. For a live service game, that kind of silence usually means trouble.

    A Slowdown in Updates

    In its early months, Black Beacon maintained a consistent schedule. Patch notes were posted on April 24 and April 30, followed by updates on May 14 and May 30. Version 1.1 brought new story content and events. July brought Version 1.2 and some balance changes.

    After August 7, everything stopped. No new updates appeared on the official site, and developer communication went quiet. For a live service title that depends on regular engagement, the sudden lack of information stood out immediately.

    The Indefinite Delay

    The developers said the delay was due to team relocation and internal restructuring. Version 1.2 was extended to run until October 14 to give more time for the next update. When that date arrived, the team shifted to saying Version 1.3 had no fixed release window.

    Fan sites confirmed the tone change. The message now is that the update will arrive when it is ready. That phrasing may sound professional, but it often means internal uncertainty. In live service development, vague messaging of this kind usually indicates production slowdowns or shifting priorities.

    The Community Divide

    On Discord and subreddit channels, conversations have turned tense. Some players remain hopeful while others question the future. Those voicing concern are frequently labeled as doom posters. That label is a common shorthand in gaming circles for perceived negativity.

    “Doom posting” grows out of patterns players recognize, such as long delays, inconsistent communication, and absent roadmaps. The growing tension between optimism and concern shows how uneasy the player base has become. Even dedicated supporters are starting to lose confidence.

    Where Things Stand

    There has been no new patch since August and no update on when Version 1.3 will release. The official Discord server remains online but much quieter than before. Social media activity has slowed, and community engagement continues to decline. The developers issued a small in game reward to acknowledge the delay, which suggests they are monitoring the project, but the overall silence is concerning.

    Timeline of Black Beacon updates and communication milestones from April to October 2025

    The servers remain active and the game is still playable, but the lack of visible progress makes the project feel directionless. Without a clear roadmap or transparent communication, the energy that surrounded Black Beacon at launch is fading.

    My Take

    I have followed Black Beacon closely since launch and this feels like a turning point. The fans who express concern are not doom posting for the sake of negativity. They are reacting to real warning signs. A game that once moved with confidence now feels uncertain and adrift.

    There is still hope. The developers can regain trust through honest communication, a realistic roadmap, and meaningful engagement with the community. Communication is the lifeline of any live service title and players are still willing to listen. But if the silence continues much longer, Black Beacon may become a title remembered more for its potential than for its success.

    Final Thought

    In gaming, silence is never just silence. When developers stop speaking, players begin to fill in the blanks themselves. Most of the time, those assumptions are not wrong.
