In the April 19 announcement, we announced the beginning of another Studio Map Contest. It’s time to let your voices be heard and help us pick the winners! The winners will be selected based on 50% player votes and 50% on CSNS Team’s internal score.
The Black Market will open early for players who reach Rank 100.
Upon reaching Rank 100 on the current Season Pass, Season Missions will end while missions that offer Black Market Badges will refresh.

(For example, if you receive the Discount Coupon during Season 16, it will reduce the price of the Season 17 Pass.)
If you do not log in during the following season, however, the coupon will be automatically removed.
(For example, if you received the coupon in Season 16 but didn't log in during Season 17, the discount will not be applied if you returned during Season 18.)
Repurchasing Previous Season Passes
A page where previous season items can be purchased will become available to those who reach Rank 100 on the Season Pass!
The page begins with the player's progress from the past season, and they can purchase Season Pass Ranks from the page to obtain items.
