Magic Chess: Go Go is officially stepping beyond the chessboard. With the launch of Season 5 on February 10, MOONTON Games is redefining how players experience the auto chess phenomenon—introducing new game modes, social spaces, and limited-time events that transform Magic Chess: Go Go into a living, connected universe.
Season 5 marks one of the game’s most ambitious updates yet, delivering GOGO MOBA, Go Go Plaza, a festive Golden Month mini-game, fresh synergies, and continued esports momentum following the historic GO1 World Championship.
Magic Chess: Go Go Season 5 Brings a New Way to Play
Season 5 pushes Magic Chess: Go Go beyond traditional auto battler gameplay by offering players new ways to interact, explore, and compete. Whether you’re battling in fast-paced modes or socializing with fellow commanders, the update is designed to deepen engagement and expand the MCGG experience.
Developed by MOONTON Games, the new season focuses on community-driven gameplay while keeping strategy at its core.
GOGO MOBA Mode Lets Commanders Take Center Stage
One of the biggest additions in Magic Chess: Go Go Season 5 is GOGO MOBA, a limited-time Multiplayer Online Battle Arena mode that brings commanders directly into the action.
Players can select from multiple commanders and navigate a redesigned map built specifically for this mode. Unique jump mechanics introduce vertical mobility, allowing commanders to leap over walls and terrain—adding speed, surprise, and tactical depth to every encounter.
GOGO MOBA offers a fresh take on familiar environments, encouraging players to rethink positioning and movement in ways never seen before in Magic Chess: Go Go.
Go Go Plaza Creates a Social Hub for Chess Masters
Season 5 also introduces Go Go Plaza, a vibrant social space where players can step away from competitive play and connect with the community.
In Go Go Plaza, players control their favorite commanders and explore a shared hub filled with interactive features. Chess masters can greet one another using Battle Emotes, take photos together, or ride a team train to explore as a group.
MOONTON Games has confirmed that future updates will bring seasonal decorations, interactive elements, and team-based mini-games, positioning Go Go Plaza as the social heart of Magic Chess: Go Go.
Golden Month Kitchen Mini-Game Arrives on February 17

During the limited-time event, players will collect ingredients to complete the Golden Month menu. Those who finish the challenge can unlock Zilong’s new Special skin for free, making it one of the most rewarding seasonal events to date.
This mini-game adds a lighter, festive layer to the season while giving players meaningful cosmetic rewards for participation.
