The time has come! With the big Bounty Hunt game mode rework, we're also launching the first of the "Season 2" event reruns, Bounty Hunters!

Bounty Hunters

The Bounty Hunters rerun is live until August 31! It also comes with new rewards at all milestones, for those who have previously completed the event! Follow Ellie and Lulu's adventures as you take down the bounties in the event written by Hono and illustrated by Ogipote! This is the 2nd and final time the event gets run normally; after rerunning them, the season 2 events will all be retired!

Bounty Hunt Rework!

The rework follows 2 beta phases and countless development hours, and brings with it a massive amount of changes! We'll only list the big ones here, please see the full patch notes on Steam forums!

Mirages!

Addressing one of the game mode's biggest pain points, the bounty locations and shops no longer use the Location Shuffle event to reset. Instead, they stay around until certain conditions are met. A new Mirage effect is always marked on a random panel. Once a location or shop is used up, a new one will instantly spawn on this panel marked with Mirage, and a new Mirage will spawn.

PvP Bounties!

A new PvP bounty system has been added, enabling an alternative fame-gathering path. This adds public PvP bounties, which can be seen on the new Bounty Board by hovering over the top edge of the screen, and private PvP bounties, which can be acquired from Homes if you hold the Assassins Badge (which also gives the player an extra turn of battle against other players).

Norma Board Perks!

A new Norma Board system lets you choose a permanent bonuses on achieving your Norma. These are presented at random for the player to pick, and will not appear again once picked. These bonuses vary from stat boosts to discounts and unique abilities.

Improved Inventory!

The inventory graphics have been improved! In addition, each players' inventory can now be viewed at any time by clicking on the new icon on their character plate. Some items can now be used from this menu during your turn. This change removes the earlier Inventory button during Standby.

Two New Invaders!

Two new invaders, Lost Rogue and Dark Chocolate Mousse, have been added and can be chosen from lobby options. Invaders now also have the ability to apply Curse to contracts, in addition to their main ability. The curse puts completing that contract on a timer before it is removed. Each invader now drops a special inventory item with a passive effect upon defeat.

Shady Merchant!

A new traveling shopkeeper appears - the Shady Merchant runs the Black Market, hosting a plethora of powerful but expensive items; however, you may only buy one Black Market item in a game.

Several Mechanics Adjusted!

There are several other specific mechanical issues that have been addressed in various ways: Fish-a-Fish event now grants fame; Wins give stars upon landing on homes, a new catch-up mechanic has been added that gives extra contracts for lower Norma players, Bounties can be re-challenged after a defeat... the list is too long for the announcement, so please make sure to read the patch notes! We hope you'll enjoy the new and shiny Bounty Hunt mode!
