AFK Journey is a free-to-play RPG with regular seasonal updates. Every few months, a new season introduces a fresh map, story content, and new heroes. Here's the release date for the upcoming AFK Journey season, "Chains of Eternity."

Chains of Eternity Season Release Date

The global version of AFK Journey will launch the Chains of Eternity season on January 17th.

Other regions and versions will receive the update if their server is at least 35 days old and players meet these prerequisites:

• Reach Resonance level 240.
• Complete all pre-season AFK stages.

Meeting these conditions and having a server older than 35 days ensures access to the new season on the official release date.

What's New in Chains of Eternity?

Beyond a new map and story, Chains of Eternity adds several heroes and bosses:

• Lorsan (Wilder)
• Elijah and Lailah (Celestial)
• Illucia (Dream Realm boss)

Significant seasonal changes include a daily AFK progress cap, Paragon level adjustments, and Exclusive Equipment enhancements. Paragon levels will have a much greater impact, and upgrading Exclusive Equipment from +15 to +20 receives a substantial boost. This means investing in existing Supreme+ units offers higher returns, though the investment cost increases significantly beyond that point.
