On February 6, 2026, the BOUNTYKINDS team shared the latest updates on off-season events and the project’s future roadmap during an official YouTube livestream.
The broadcast outlined key actions from Season 7, upcoming community events, and major system updates planned for Season 8 and beyond.

1. Actions Taken Against Rule Violations in Season 7

During Season 7, the team confirmed cases where players transferred high-rarity NFT characters between multiple accounts to manipulate PvP rankings.

• Actions Taken
  The accounts involved had their rewards revoked and were removed from the rankings.
• Future Policy
  The operations team continuously monitors on-chain data. If similar violations are detected again, strict measures including account suspension will be enforced.

2. Off-Season Social Media Events

To keep the community engaged during the off-season before the next season begins, three social media events will be held sequentially:

• Zealy Event: Scheduled to start around February 10
• Discord Sticker Contest: Planned for mid-February
• X (formerly Twitter) Giveaway: Late February to early March

These events are designed to keep players active and entertained during the extended off-season caused by server upgrades and maintenance.

3. Updated Roadmap and Future Development

To ensure long-term sustainability and expand the user base, the project roadmap has been significantly updated.

Stage 1

• Daily Missions
  Players will be able to earn rewards such as BWP and lottery tickets by completing activities in the Bounty Hall, Maps, Arena, and more.
• Game Balancing and Adjustments
  In addition to bug fixes, balance adjustments will be made to maps and in-game shop prices (including yellow character fragments and jump cards).

Stage 2

This is the most important update, bringing a fundamental overhaul of the game system.

• Combat System Revamp (3D to 2D)
  This change aims to reduce PC performance requirements and improve battle pacing.
• Enhanced Strategic Depth
  • Formation System
    Front-line units will receive attack bonuses, while back-line units gain magic bonuses. Additional buffs will be granted for adjacent unit placements.
  • Strategy (Tactics) System
    Players will be able to assign auto-battle behaviors to each character, such as aggressive or defensive strategies.
• Significant Increase in Character Count
  Thanks to the lower development cost of 2D assets, the total number of characters—including existing ones—is expected to exceed 100.

4. Vision and Technical Background

• Why Move to 2D
  Developing 3D characters is costly and limits scalability. Switching to 2D allows the team to introduce a larger variety of characters, which is essential for expanding strategic gameplay.
• Why Auto-Battle
  To minimize the impact of server latency across different regions, the game adopts an auto-battle system rather than real-time action combat.
• Ecosystem Sustainability
  Maintaining and increasing token value requires growth in the paying player base. This major update is positioned as the top priority to achieve that goal.
