Indeed, the Starbound 1.4 Bounty Hunter update is here, and it has added a new Peacekeeper faction and looks to turn players into intergalactic bounty hunters. Since then, the company has offered intermittent updates on Starbound bounty hunting, and now, nearly two years after the announcement, this Starbound update has finally arrived. In September 2017, developer Chucklefish announced that a forthcoming update to Starbound would bring bounty hunting to the procedurally generated sci-fi game.
