Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games announced the dark fantasy PvPvE action RPG Mistfall Hunter on June 7, 2026, revealing a July 30 release date for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The announcement came at the Future Games Show in Los Angeles, alongside an open beta test running from June 15 to June 22 on all platforms. The beta introduced the Wizarknight class, a two-handed greatsword-wielding warrior with a decay-buff detonation combat loop, joining five previously available classes. The open beta supported 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.
On June 16, Bellring Games and Skystone Games released a demo on Steam, giving players access to the game's high-risk, permadeath-lite loop ahead of the launch. The full game is set in forbidden lands where gods have fallen and are swallowed by golden mist. Players take the role of a hunter revived by a mysterious girl named Tia, collecting gold dust to repair the web of fate while competing against other players and AI-controlled enemies. The game features a third-person perspective with a non-targeting combat system, allowing players to aim for enemy weak points while executing combos. Six classes are available, each able to switch between two weapon types or schools, with some changes possible in real time during combat. A talent system, equipment customization via dozens of gems, and over 10 active skills enable varied build options. The game supports solo play and team formation of up to three players. Seasonal updates will introduce new classes, arcane arts, maps, equipment, and treasures. The developers have stated there are no pay-to-win elements.
In the week of July 27 to August 2, 2026, Mistfall Hunter was listed among notable releases in weekly roundups from Game Spark and Inside, confirming its July 30 launch across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
