Complete Guide to Sky Seasons

Everything you need to know about Seasons in Sky: Children of the Light — from schedule and duration to smart tips and preparation.

What Is a Season in Sky?

In Sky: Children of the Light, a Season is a limited-time content cycle that introduces new spirits, cosmetics, expressions, and story elements.

Each Season focuses on a specific theme — such as memory, growth, companionship, or self-discovery — which is reflected in its quests and spirit designs.

When Do Seasons Usually Start?

Seasons usually begin shortly after the previous Season ends. Sky rarely leaves long gaps between Seasons, allowing the world to feel continuously alive.

New Seasons are announced ahead of time through in-game notices and official Sky channels.

How Long Does a Season Last?

Most Seasons in Sky run for approximately:

10–11 weeks (around 2.5 months)

This duration is intentionally forgiving, allowing players to progress at a calm and enjoyable pace.

What Happens During a Season?

  • Seasonal Spirits appear in a special area
  • New quests unlock gradually over time
  • Seasonal cosmetics and expressions become available
  • Players earn Seasonal Candles

Season Pass vs Free Path

Free Players

  • Can complete all seasonal quests
  • Unlock selected cosmetics and expressions
  • Experience the full story

Season Pass Holders

  • Access exclusive cosmetics
  • Receive bonus Seasonal Candles
  • Progress faster with less daily grinding
The Season Pass enhances convenience, not access. Sky seasons are designed so free players never miss the story.

What Happens After a Season Ends?

When a Season ends:

  • Seasonal Spirits disappear
  • Seasonal Candles convert into regular candles
  • Season Pass rewards can no longer be claimed

Most Seasonal Spirits will eventually return as Traveling Spirits, giving players another chance to unlock items.

Preparation Tips Before a Season Starts

Tip 1: Save regular candles before a Season begins.
Tip 2: Do not rush on Day 1. Season quests unlock gradually.
Tip 3: Decide early whether you want the Season Pass.

Smart Tips During the Season

  • Do daily quests consistently, not excessively
  • Play with friends to reduce burnout
  • Focus on cosmetics you truly like
  • Enjoy the environment and story pacing
Avoid grinding anxiety. Sky seasons are meant to feel calm, not stressful.

Do You Need to Play Every Season?

No. Sky is designed around presence, not completion. Missing a Season does not lock you out of the core experience.

Seasons come and go — but the sky always welcomes you back.
