I think the Digitization Update Blog of January 2021 was the last we've heard of this:

Online Guide Team Lead - JTT wrote:

The liked boons were brought back first, as a way of testing the system, and to give time for the respected boons to get a thorough going over. (If you recall several of those had needed review as they interacted oddly with rules in ways they were not supposed to.)

As a result the new Respected boons are much more solid and consistent in their function.

The intent is to bring back Admired boons, but only after they too have had the same thorough level of review. Unfortunately I am not on the team involved in that process. So I can't tell you anything more than that.

My 11th-level PC has 130 Reputation (120 w/ Grand Archive), and I regularly see other 10th+ level PCs online. So I'm sure plenty of them are similarly Revered.

I appreciate the Master Hireling Boon, but I already downloaded that some time ago. Just wondering if/when we might see Faction-specific Capstone Boons again.

Also hoping they'll be different than the previous Boons. Starting a new PC at Level 2 isn't as enticing of a reward, with so much Repeatable content available.

I will add that to my list of things to ask Alex about at the annual Guide review. But that may not be until January / February.

I've been curious about this as well since it feels kinda weird all revered boons were retired with reputation cap increased, but only pathfinder revered boon reward is master hireling(while starfinder still has tier 4 reputation reward boons)

(I think though that starting character on level 2 is nice though, because it means you don't need to grind repeatable to have character on level where they have bit higher chance to survive crits x'D)

4/5 ****

Clarification: What was retired was just the Fame versions of boons.

Anyway, bringing back the revered boons is officially on the todo list, and I will continue to update as I learn more.

I can update further: we're going to bring them back, but at least two of them no longer work with the current version of the program, so they're going to need some rewrites. We're strapped for time at the moment while we spin up some new developers, but I'm hopeful we'll have a chance to tackle them Soon (TM).
