Fields of Mistria Gets Japanese Support, Full Release on August 5
NPC Studio announced on June 7 that the farming simulation RPG 'Fields of Mistria' will leave Early Access and launch version 1.0 on August 5, 2026. The full release will include a Japanese language beta, as well as wedding events, children, new Saturday Market vendors, dungeon quests, and Steam achievements. The game, which entered Early Access on August 6, 2024, has received over 25,000 user reviews on Steam with a 97% positive rating, earning an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' status. The Japanese translation is being handled by localization studios 8-4 and Shloc, who are providing a 100% human-translated beta that is expected to cover most text. Players will be able to raise NPC heart levels to 10, unlocking marriage and family mechanics that were not available during Early Access. A non-content engine migration update is scheduled for July 7 to improve performance and stability ahead of the 1.0 launch.
