All Sky: Children of the Light Seasons In Order

Published September 2026 · Updated as new seasons launch

Sky: Children of the Light has run 30 seasonal events since its global launch on July 19, 2019, through Dear Van Gogh — thatgamecompany's own announcement for Dear Van Gogh explicitly numbers it the thirtieth season. This list covers every one of them in order. It's current as of Dear Van Gogh (started July 17, 2026) — a 31st season isn't confirmed yet as of this writing, so it isn't in the table below, and this page will be updated once one is.

The Full List

A couple of earlier, less consistently documented entries from spring 2019 are sometimes listed as pre-launch or regional test content — they aren't included in the official count above, which follows thatgamecompany's own numbering starting from Season of Gratitude.

How Often Do New Seasons Launch?

From Season of Rhythm (January 2020) onward, Sky has run on a remarkably consistent quarterly cadence — a new season roughly every 91 days, landing in mid-to-late January, April, July and October each year, corroborated by independent coverage of recent launches. That pattern has held for 27 straight seasons. The first three seasons back in 2019 were spaced a bit closer together (56–66 days apart) before settling into that rhythm. It's a reliable pattern for guessing roughly when the next season is coming, but not a confirmed schedule — thatgamecompany hasn't announced season dates in advance beyond its own release windows.

Where Each Season Fits

Early seasons mostly added content inside the game's five main realms — Enchantment's Forgotten Ark in Golden Wasteland, AURORA's coliseum in Valley of Triumph. From around Season of Revival (late 2023) onward, most new seasons have instead opened their own dedicated hub areas — Aviary Village, Moominvalley, the Blue Bird Theater — rather than building directly into one of the original realms, though this shift isn't confirmed realm-by-realm for every season on the list.

Each season brings its own rotating cast of cosmetic-selling Spirits and its own Season Candle economy — see how Elder and Seasonal Spirit pricing actually works for how that differs from the game's permanent currencies, and the Traveling Spirit guide for how past seasons' items can come back later.
