Pixels has introduced Chapter 3, titled Bountyfall, adding a new competitive system built around player Unions. Participants can join Wildgrove, Seedwright, or Reaper, each representing a different philosophy in the effort to restore balance to Terra Villa.
Gameplay now centers on the Hearth, a shared structure that reflects each Union’s collective progress. Players contribute by crafting and placing Yieldstones to increase Hearth health. The first Union to reach full health concludes the season and earns the largest share of the prize pool, which expands as more players take part.
Strategic elements include Offerings, which can boost Hearth efficiency or shield it from attacks, and the ability to sabotage rival Unions by sending mismatched Yieldstones. Players may change allegiance once freely, while later switches require a cooldown and specific items.
The update also introduces Hearth Hall, replacing the former headquarters in Terra Villa and serving as the new center for Union activity. Chapter 3 broadens cooperative play, resource management, and competition within the Pixels universe.
