addedWe’re excited to announce as that as a part of our ongoing Update 2.7, we will be introducing a new type of Story Challenges for you to enjoy from May 13th. Known as Legacy Chronicles, these new sets of Challenges will feature the return of some of our most requested legends! The rewards laid out for you from Legacy Chronicles include new, updated, and recolored versions of past Mythic Hunters and Legendary Skins.

addedSigils are a new type of currency (outside of Blood Bonds and Hunt Dollars) which can be earned only by completing the Challenges inherent to Legacy Chronicles.

Introducing Legacy Chronicle A brand-new way to get more highly requested rewards!

Hunters

We’re excited to announce as that as a part of our ongoing Update 2.7, we will be introducing a new type of Story Challenges for you to enjoy from May 13th. Known as Legacy Chronicles, these new sets of Challenges will feature the return of some of our most requested legends! The rewards laid out for you from Legacy Chronicles include new, updated, and recolored versions of past Mythic Hunters and Legendary Skins. To earn these rewards, we have some new Challenges for you to take on and progress through, as well as gripping lore to unlock and a new point system called Sigils.

So, What Are Sigils?

Sigils are a new type of currency (outside of Blood Bonds and Hunt Dollars) which can be earned only by completing the Challenges inherent to Legacy Chronicles. The rewards within Legacy Chronicles are still organized into sets like Story Challenges are, but you’re now free to spend Sigils on whichever rewards you want from your unlocked pages, giving you more control over what you want to unlock first.

Each unlocked page will have a vast array of rewards such as Hunters, Legendary Skins, Charms, Player Profile items, and more! You can unlock more pages by spending Sigils too. If you complete every Challenge, you can unlock every reward in the Legacy Chronicle with this method.

To clarify, Sigils may only be spent on the rewards inherent to Legacy Chronicles, while Blood Bonds still remain the currency used to pay for all other premium in-game items as well as premium Story Challenges.

Why are we bringing this new addition to the game?

Over the years, we have seen so many of you asking for previous Battle Pass content to return, and we wanted to bring some much-loved content back. However, we also needed to make sure that we honored the previous efforts players had put into acquiring these exclusive rewards. Legacy Chronicles is a brand-new format allowing new players to experience the echoes of previous Events with recolored fan favorites as well as retaining veteran players exclusive rights to the historic, original designs. Beware the Shadow Reward Overview

To kick Legacy Chronicles off, we have Beware the Shadow, which features beloved content released as part of the “Light the Shadow” Battle Pass. The rewards available include the reskinned Hunters The Banished, The Waymaker, and The Third Brother, eight Legendary Skins including Watch Me Soar (Hunting Bow), Severed Ties (Throwing Axes), Spirit’s Grasp (First Aid Kit), three Charms, and seven Player Profile items! Whether you missed out on that legendary Event or you're looking to unlock the Hunters in a stunning new style, this is your chance to get your hands on them!

Beware the Shadow will be a premium option costing 1250 Blood Bonds. Once purchased, you will have as long as you want to complete it. There are a vast array of rewards that come with this Legacy Chronicle, and we have made sure to incorporate feedback from the community to ensure this delicious set of acquisitions carries the value, quality, and vibe you want to see.

The Future of Story Challenges

As for Story Challenges, we have noticed that some among you possess an insatiable appetite for these unique offerings, and as a result, we wanted to expand upon them. Hence our Legacy Chronicles, giving you more ways to engage with unique Challenges and rewards in the world of Hunt.

We will still continue with our popular free and premium Story Challenges as well, but with Legacy Chronicle entering the arena, we also have more plans to bring back beloved content using this system, so watch this space!

We hope you enjoy the legacy content and racking up those Sigils.
