Rogue Company has just kicked off its third season, named the Kyoto Job. With the start of each new season, there’s always some particular theme that goes alongside it. Last season’s theme revolved around this ongoing “Rogues versus Justicar” plot, introducing Mack, one of the new characters in the game. Ronin ended up being arrested by Mack, thus leading to her Battle Pass-exclusive skin in the game.
This season— the Kyoto Job— has much more of a theme than a narrative this time around. Everything is much more culturally inspired by Japan, given the inclusion of the new map. The new battle pass is also live, sporting 50 new rewards like character skins, weapon wraps, emotes, Rogue Bucks, account boosters, profile titles, and profile icons. You can opt to buy the standard edition for 1,000 Rogue Bucks or the boosted Elite Bundle for 2,000. The Elite Bundle starts you off with 15 instantly unlocked tiers in the pass.
Here are the patch notes below:

Rogue Bios
This is a feature that was mostly never expanded upon in-game despite there being a greyed-out option for it. It’s just a small blurb about each character for now, so hopefully more will be added in the future.

If you’re on PlayStation or Xbox, be on the look out for the console-exclusive Season 3 perk packs. The packs include Lancer, a blue or green skin depending on what console you’re on, and 20,000 Season Pass XP.
