In Brief:
- Grand Arena Season 2 arrives in October on Ronin, swapping Season 1’s daily fantasy-manager lineups for a portfolio of tokenized Moki shares paid out from weekly reward pools.
- Moki Ball, a 3v3 soccer game, is played entirely by AI Mokis, with each Moki’s trained stats determining its performance.
- The season lasts roughly four weeks, trims some fees and directs a share of Grand Arena revenue toward Schiffy purchases.
When Grand Arena Season 2 opens in October, players will hold shares in Champion Mokis and draw from weekly reward pools instead of managing lineups every day, according to a post from Ronin on X.
No player input is needed for the matches. AI Mokis face off in Moki Ball, a 3v3 soccer game, and each Moki’s trained stats determine how it performs on the pitch.
Grand Arena S2 is becoming more passive and portfolio-focused.
Open packs, collect shares of Champion Mokis, build your portfolio, and earn from weekly reward pools based on performance.

How Season 2 differs from Season 1
The first season ran on a card-collecting fantasy model. Packs came from the Grand Arena Shop, single cards could be bought on Ronin Market, and players built lineups from what they owned to enter daily and weekly contests. A bigger collection meant more mXP and a wider choice of lineups.
The daily grind disappears in Season 2. Instead, players put together a portfolio of Moki shares and receive a slice of the weekly pools according to how those Mokis perform in matches. In effect, Grand Arena shifts from a fantasy manager toward an asset-management game.
The design revolves around Champion Mokis. These are special Moki NFTs that appear on Grand Arena cards, and Ronin has said that holding one brings additional earnings through royalties.
Returning players won’t be starting from scratch, since most of the Season 1 champions carry over.
Length, fees and the Schiffy link
Moku disclosed the new mechanics on Sept. 9. The season is set to run about four weeks, with weekly payouts and some fees reduced.
Part of Grand Arena’s revenue will be used to buy Schiffy, the partner token Moku had previously committed to integrating across its ecosystem. Because Moku hasn’t disclosed Grand Arena’s revenue figures, the scale of that buying remains unknown. One of the studio’s five upcoming games is being built for Schiffy.
Season 2 packs go on presale before launch, giving players time to build positions before the first weekly pool opens.
One of five games on the schedule
Season 2 is the second release in a five-game Moku slate spread across roughly six months. Nomgar launched on Sept. 14. Super Battle Moki is due in November, followed by Break, a Beyblade-inspired battle-top title pencilled in for late 2026 or early 2027, and an Action RPG planned for 2027.
Moku set out the complete roadmap in a thread after a Mokiside Chat community call, running through Nomgar, Grand Arena S2, Super Battle Moki, Break and the Schiffy game and alpha.
In April 2026 the studio introduced bRON, a bonded RON token pegged 1:1 to RON that remains within the Moku ecosystem instead of trading freely.
Background
Before Season 1 went live, Grand Arena ran a four-week preseason, and Ronin operated a Moku Guild Boost program alongside the opening season.
Ronin had been promoting Champion Mokis on its marketplace well before Season 2 was announced. “If you’re looking to buy Moki NFTs, make sure to keep an eye out for these Champion Mokis,” the network’s account said in an earlier post.
Ronin ended its teaser for the new season with one question: “Have you been training your Moki?”
