Merge Tactics appears to have returned to a seasonal, regularly updated state in late 2025, with ongoing content updates, resets, and balance adjustments. Here’s the current understanding based on recent reports and official notes: What happened to Merge Tactics
- Merge Tactics has not been retired; it’s been operating as a seasonal mode with periodic resets and new content. Reports from industry news and community sources in late 2025 indicate seasons with scheduled resets and new content each cycle. This aligns with official update notes describing seasonal starts and progression resets.
- There have been temporary outages or glitches affecting Merge Tactics on occasion, but these are typically resolved quickly and do not indicate the mode’s permanent removal. Community discussions and patch notices confirm occasional service disruptions followed by rapid restoration.
What’s new in the October 2025 update (and related seasonality)
- Seasonal structure: Merge Tactics now resets progress at the start of each season, including Starsteel progress and Merge Road, with seasonal rewards, badges, and fresh content. This means a recurring fresh start rather than a permanent carryover from previous seasons.
- New content: Each season introduces new content such as rulers, troops, modifiers, and skins, plus updated rewards and badges reflecting peak achievements in the prior season.
- Balance and meta changes: Patch notes describe ongoing balance changes across multiple waves and patches within the season to tune traits, modifiers, and troop identities.
Typical gameplay implications
- Progression is reset each season, so players resume from a fresh start but with a new season-specific objective and rewards. This encourages ongoing participation and experimentation with new strategies.
- The meta evolves with each season due to new rulers, troops, and balance changes, so flexible play and adaptation remain important.
What players are experiencing now
- Some users report Merge Tactics appearing and then disappearing temporarily due to glitches, but the mode is generally present again after fixes. If you don’t see it, a temporary outage or client issue may be at play.
- Official update notes and community patches emphasize continued support for Merge Tactics through seasonal resets and content drops.
