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.

| October 23 | Rune Shard × 60, Small Spherical Fruit × 3, Orelium × 50,000 |

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.

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.
