Bellring Games announced on June 7 that the dark fantasy escape action RPG Mistfall Hunter will officially release on July 30, 2026, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The game is a third-person PvPvE action RPG set in a world where gods lost a war against outer gods, and players take the role of Gold Hunters, resurrected warriors who venture into mist-covered battlefields to collect treasure and survive against monsters and other players. The release date was revealed at the Future Games Show in Los Angeles. Alongside the date, the developer announced an open beta test running from June 15 to June 22 on all platforms. The test will feature the newly revealed class Wizarknight, a two-handed greatsword-wielding warrior with a decay-buff detonation combat loop, alongside five previously available classes. The open beta supports solo play and teams of up to three, offering a game experience comparable to the full version. Previous playtests peaked at around 10,000 concurrent players.
The Wizarknight class has a backstory tied to the fallen Ganaria Kingdom. These warriors were once "Rose Knights" who swore loyalty to the kingdom, but are now exiled and branded. Their combat loop relies on applying a "Mark of Decay" to enemies and detonating it at the optimal timing for multi-hit damage. Key skills include "Parry," a defensive move that requires precise timing to instantly turn the tables, and "Thorn Guidance," which uses a hook to pull enemies to a designated position and supports focused attacks from allies.
In a three-person party, the Wizarknight functions as a battlefield controller and initiator, sealing enemy actions and starting combat. The open beta test runs from June 15 at 10:00 to June 22 at 19:00 Japan time across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. It includes five previously available classes: Mercenary, Mage, Black Arrow, Shadow Owl, and Prophet.
Skystone Games is co-publishing the title alongside Bellring Games. The game's story involves a mysterious girl named Tia who resurrects former heroes as Gold Hunters to collect gold sand and repair the web of fate. Players face enemies called Corruptors and rival players in mind games. The open beta offers a game experience comparable to the full version, supporting solo play and teams of up to three.
