Fableborne Season 5 is live: iOS approved, guild competition August 24

Pixion Games opened Fableborne Season 5 on August 17, 2026 after Apple approved the iOS App Store listing. The season is live on both iOS and Android through September 21. Guild competition will wait until August 24, so you have a recruitment week to lock a seat before ranked play starts.

Background

Fableborne is a free-to-play mobile ARPG from Pixion on Ronin. Optional Web3 layers use the POWER token plus Kingdom and Primordial NFTs. RON is the gas token on Ronin when you move POWER or NFTs.

This piece follows the August 11 delay, when Google Play was already approved and the App Store listing was still in review. It also follows the earlier August 12 target. The client stayed closed between seasons after Season 4 (opens in new tab) ran from December 2, 2025 through January 5, 2026.

Guild create and join stayed open at fableborne.com/guilds (opens in new tab) through that wait.

What happened

iOS approval and both-store open

Ahead of the August 17 open, Pixion posted in the official Fableborne Discord (opens in new tab) that Apple had approved the iOS listing and that Season 5 would open Monday August 17. A second Discord post published the Season 5 docs. It restated the Monday start and set Guild Competition for August 24. Discord also linked an official X post (opens in new tab).

Season dates and published events

Pixion's S5 event schedule (opens in new tab) sets Fableborne Season 5 from August 17 to September 21. The Guild Season inside that window will run August 24 to September 17.

Standard events pay Hero XP Potions and Guild Valor (used to buy Guild Glory Chests). In-game Chests are also on that list. Among scheduled events, POWER is exclusive to Premium Events.

Premium events

Premium events (opens in new tab) take an entry fee in gems (hard currency). You can preview the leaderboard and rewards before you pay. Once in, you get 12 raid tickets to post a best time. Payouts can include POWER and lootboxes. Guild Energy is also on that reward list.

Guilds 2.0

Guilds 2.0 (opens in new tab) starts Season 5 in a recruitment phase. The competitive phase will begin seven days in, which lines up with August 24.

Max members dropped from 50 to 20. Founders are off the player leaderboard. You get no rewards if you sit below both the guild rank cutoff and the player leaderboard cutoff. Both boards pay POWER.

Join from the in-game Guilds button. Open the leaderboard and find a free seat, then propose a fee split. Buying your own seat is optional. Founders buy the founder offer in the Webshop, then add seats up to 20.

Diamonds are hard currency inside Fableborne. Founders can purchase them for members.

You must join a Guild to earn Valor or Glory. You must still be in a Guild at the end of the Guild Season to be eligible for POWER. After the first Guild Season in S5, Guild and Player progress will reset. Diamonds carry over.

Pixion's August 3 Medium Guilds 2.0 guide (opens in new tab) says 95% of webshop spend goes into the prize pool during the season, up from 70% in Season 4. GitBook Guilds 2.0 does not restate that share; treat 95% as the Medium figure.

Hero Equipment

Hero Equipment (opens in new tab) is new in Season 5. Four slots (Weapon, Head, Chest, Boots) plus Ability Tomes. You can earn pieces from quests and leaderboard rewards. Chests and bundles are the other published sources.

Rarity sets how many stats land and whether a passive exists:

Items level up to 15 by spending Blueprints. Four worker classes produce different blueprint types. Worker health affects that production.

Who it affects

Players

Download on iOS or Android today and treat August 17 as day one of the season. Hero's Gauntlet will run August 18–21. Use the week until August 24 to join or found a guild of at most 20. If you want Valor and Glory, you need a seat before competitive play starts. POWER from the Guild Season uses the same seat rule.

Founders should finish seat buys and fee splits during recruitment. Check the guild portal (opens in new tab) if you set up during the August 12 wait.

Collectors

Kingdom and Primordial holders should watch how Season 5 events and Guilds 2.0 actually pay POWER, not the cancelled August 12 clock. Premium events are the documented path for POWER from live play. Both guild boards also pay POWER if you clear the rank cutoffs. Check live marketplace listings before pricing NFT utility from social posts.

What to watch next

• Guild competitive phase August 24 through September 17, and whether you still hold a seat at that close
• Hero's Gauntlet August 18–21, then Siege Survival overlapping from August 20
• Progress reset after the first Guild Season (Diamonds carry over)
• Next studio posts in Discord (opens in new tab) and on X (opens in new tab)

Bottom line: If you want Guild Season POWER, lock a seat in a 20-player guild before August 24 and stay in that guild through September 17. Use Hero's Gauntlet (August 18–21) to test loadouts before ranked weeks. Follow the S5 schedule (opens in new tab) for each event window rather than the old August 12 calendar.
