Season passes are gone.
Inkbound is killing off all of its in-game monetization later this month. In a post on the official website and Steam page, the folks at Shiny Shoe revealed that the leveling pass, previously a seasonal battle pass, is going away as is the cosmetic shop. Instead some of those cosmetics will be sold as a blanket supporter pack as DLC. The rest will be obtainable in game.
However, it’s clear that industry and player sentiment is trending against the presence of these features. For that reason we are removing in-game monetization completely. Content from the existing Leveling Passes will be turned into cosmetic-only optional “supporter pack” DLCs sold on Steam. The rest of the cosmetic content will continue to be available in-game and earned via playing.
Players who already bought either of the premium passes will automatically be gifted all unredeemed rewards for that pass. The free track rewards will become obtainable in-game by simply playing it. In other words, no more FOMO.
At the end of each Season all seasonal free rewards will move into the Cosmetic Vault and can be earned from there. There is no FOMO. If you miss the rewards during the Season you can unlock them via Cosmetic Dust (earned by leveling up) or in the random drops after defeating a Guardian as described above.
It’s nice to see devs doing nice things.
