What is your personal balance of 2025 in Gods Unchained?

Here we are one more year to do "soul searching" and evaluate the events of Gods Unchained during the year that has just expired. I'm JFA, from GU Masters, and I'm confident that this little guy Analysis exercise you find relevant and encourage you to do your own 2025 review.

I don't know about you, but I dedicate hundreds of hours a year to this hobby And I therefore think it is worth doing this exercise, as it is the best way to measure objectives achieved, detect deviations from the proposed objectives and identify areas for improvement .

Shall we get into the matter? Come with me .

Sports results

As far as e-Sports It refers to two outstanding initiatives:

1. On the one hand, the implementation of a New competition : GU League (GUL), by the hand of Team HAT . This is a competition that has its own direct duel format, which has specific restrictions to reduce the power level of Combo decks. If you are interested in participating in this tournament, do not hesitate to contact Team HAT as preparations for its second edition are already underway.
2. On the other hand, a new edition of Superb Owl , an initiative by Fakemews that we will never be grateful for enough.

Otherwise, it has been a year with little "sporting" activity and no trace of the game's API reprogramming , so competitive integrity continues to be conspicuous by its absence due to the fact that the confidentiality of player activity is not guaranteed.

In terms of ratio Wins/Losses (data extracted on January 1, 2025).

JFA win-loss ratio

Year-end status :

The incentive system has remained unchanged throughout 2025 and the Weekend Ranked rewards have fallen into irrelevance as they are still packs from the Dread Awakening expansion (which was released in April 2024), meaning that players are no longer as motivated to stay in Mythic as in other stages .

At the same time, we must also take into account the importance of:

• The different Formats rotating game multipliers, by the multiplier they apply to the Daily Play and Earn .
• The Battle Passes , which are pushing down the value of the cards of the Core set .

My win rate remains constant . "Without sorrow, nor glory", we could say.

Economic results

As has been the case since the launch of Gods Unchained, our starting point is that one of its essential characteristics is its web3 nature, which also includes a Play&Earn with a few years of experience. What does this mean? It implies that it has a Economic dimension which must always be kept in mind.

Although changes were introduced in 2024 in the Play&Earn to increase the importance of high-quality letters, The gambling incentive system continues to be deficient . The absence of incentives for collecting, added to a card rental market that reduces card ownership to a minimum, are noticeable; and, in addition, the number of active players remains low.

What has been stated in the previous paragraph is an explosive cocktail for the value of the game's assets, from the cards to their $GODS token, and the consequence is that Gods Unchained's appeal from a web3 perspective is eroding with each passing year .

Card Collection

As you know Each player has different goals . As far as your access to Gods Unchained cards is concerned, perhaps your goal is to expand your collection without investing money, perhaps it is to have three or four competitive decks to try to maximize rewards, or perhaps it is to bet on a certain domain. In my case, I aspire to make my collection as complete as possible.

Collection (NFT cards from all expansions, with the exception of the Welcome set ):

JFA Collection at the end of 2025

Gods Unchained Community and "Ecosystem"

If there is one thing that has marked the year 2025, it is the migration from the Immutable X network to the zkEVM Immutable network , a process that was announced in March and undertaken at the end of June. It was something that happened, which the Gods Unchained team had not planned for this year, and that, although it was successfully undertaken, it was accompanied by not a few challenges and has left some consequences (in the form of unsolved incidents) that still remain: specifically, problems with the metadata of the cards and the impossibility of claiming rewards from strike . This Network Migration it has had positive effects, such as the full functionality of Immutable Passport, but it has also left scars and delayed improvements that we have been waiting for a long time.

As I mentioned previously, this year has been accompanied by Notable launches . In addition to an expansion in collaboration with Guild of Guardians ( Guardians of Elderym ) and several mini-expansions ( Fallen Age and Age of Ascent), 2025 has left us:

1. The Battle Passes .
2. Multiple Formats of play, which introduce variety by rotating in an orderly manner.
3. The Imporium , a new store that takes over from the old Star Store (which it replaces). The first expansion released through the Imporium is Revival, with a new direct purchase card every week.

In addition to all of the above, there is another event that has left its mark: the Immutable kills . Specifically, the departure of Cloudy, first, and Jammy, later, from the Gods Unchained team. Bryn's departure is particularly sensitive, as he occupied a dual role: responsible for the direction of the game and, at the same time, its design. This outflow of human capital entails the loss of intellectual capital, in the form of "institutional memory", which is very important (reflections on this in This live broadcast ).

At the end of the year, the team has the pending issue of explain who is in charge and what the plans are for Gods Unchained in the medium and long term . Worryingly, Immutable seems to be allocating fewer and fewer resources to the development of Gods Unchained... but we also have good news: Vesper is your (our) official Community Manager since the migration to zkEVM.

As for the Player volume , has been reduced: it has gone from about 3,700 active players per day at the end of 2024 to about 2,300 at the time of writing (I calculate, at a glance, around 8,000 monthly active players). There is a very loyal base of players, but the trend is not positive and some of the most important shortcomings remain unresolved (as I said last year, new progression system for players, as well as promotion and decommissioning of rank, among others).

As for my activity as a promoter of GU Masters , a couple of highlights:

• As a Content Creator , I remain faithful to my live broadcasts every Tuesday and Thursday at 7:15 p.m. (peninsular Spain time), reaching 354 followers on Twitch and 241 in You Tube . In addition, I have published 14 articles on this website (highlighted: "Essential Questions for Designing a Gods Unchained card " ) and conducted a small experiment in the form of podcast created using generative AI .
• When it comes to Building Community , the GU Masters server on Discord is kept active thanks to a handful of stalwarts who give it life. A great pleasure, since there is a good atmosphere and a desire to always build in a positive way. In addition, and thanks to the support of the community, The Conclave seems to be consolidating: two editions this year, March and November, which contribute to strengthening the GU Masters community, bringing together a small group of fans of this game who are beginning to become true friends. Finally, mention should be made of the announcement of The Grand Forum , which should see its first session in 2026.

This year I had the opportunity to See some of my ideas and proposals embodied in the game , which is always exciting (even more so when, in addition, they are well received):

1. On the one hand, the creation, in collaboration with Agrante, of the Power-Surge game format .
2. On the other hand, I have had the privilege of being the first member of the community selected to "curate" a pool of cards for Sealed, within the framework of the so-called "Signature Edition" .

Finally, it should be mentioned that the Council of Mortals it is still in limbo. The reality is that, as they say, "he is not there, nor is he expected". A real shame, since I think it is a unique initiative and coherent with the pioneering spirit that has characterized Gods Unchained from the first moment.

What are your goals in Gods Unchained for 2026?

As I say every year, in order to improve it is essential to set goals and measure their degree of compliance (my recommendation is that they are goals SMART ). Consequently... What are your goals for 2026?

In my case , and taking as a starting point that I play Gods Unchained for fun, I aspire to the following.

Sports results

On a sporting level, I hope to be able to find time to Participate in the most important official and unofficial tournaments , with the main objective of improving my level as a player.

Economic results

At the moment I'm prioritizing daily Play & Earn , but maintaining the variety of formats and domains to minimize the risk of "saturation". After all, I've been playing Gods Unchained non-stop since 2019 and the risk of burn-out It should never be looked down upon.

Card Collection

My goal is still Get a full collection of each new expansion (By "complete collection" I mean one copy of each Legendary card and two copies of cards with other rarities.) If it can be with some cards shiny , better than better.

Gods Unchained Community and "Ecosystem"

Nothing has changed in this area: I still aspire to to do my bit to develop a healthy community, in which we all feel welcome and that it fosters our growth as players (and, for that matter, as people). Everything points to new editions of El Cónclave, continuity in the creation of content and the opening session for El Gran Foro.

Thank you all for being there , building community, and special mention for Spanish-speaking players, with whom I have an obvious bond.

Ready for 2026?

At the end of 2026 I will try to carry out a new analysis like this . If you have any suggestions to improve this type of analysis, please share them with me (it will be well received).

Last I invite you to set your goals for 2026 (and monitor how well you're complying with them, of course.)

Thank you very much for joining me here, I trust that this article has piqued your interest. I want to take this opportunity to remind you that you can support GU Masters by purchasing your cards through the TokenTrove referral link (which has no cost for you) and invite you to join all the players who already receive the GU Masters newsletter to stay on top of what's new in the Gods Unchained universe: The Herald .
