What is Mistfall Hunter?
Mistfall Hunter is a dark fantasy third-person PvPvE extraction ARPG. You enter the Gyldenmist, fight PvE enemies and rival players, loot, and try to extract before death costs the run's spoils.
When does Mistfall Hunter release?
Current Steam and Xbox Wire source checks point to July 29, 2026. Some regional storefront displays may differ because of time zones, so exact local unlock timing is Needs verification.
Is the Open Beta wiped?
Yes. The Open Beta is described as a data-wipe test, meaning normal beta progress does not carry into launch.
Is Mistfall Hunter on Game Pass?
Xbox Wire says Mistfall Hunter is planned day one with Xbox Game Pass for Xbox and Xbox on PC. Subscription wording should be rechecked near launch.
Can I play solo?
Yes, solo play is possible. Team play supports up to three players total. Solo class strength is still Needs verification.
Is PvP forced?
Mistfall Hunter is positioned as PvPvE, not pure PvE. That means rival players are part of the core risk, even if your current goal is mostly PvE or extraction.
What happens when I die?
Public store/source wording describes death as costing your run spoils. Exact edge cases around carried gear, protected items, or launch-version systems are Needs verification.
How do I extract?
Public source wording points to finding and defeating Returner Woodling to obtain Soul of Return. Exact spawn locations, routes, and timing are not verified here.
What class should beginners try?
Mercenary is the safest beginner-watch answer because it is broadly positioned as a frontline / beginner-friendly melee class. This is not a final launch tier claim.
Is Withered Knight the strongest class?
No strength claim is made here. Withered Knight is highlighted as an Open Beta focus class, but launch balance, final builds, solo strength, PvP strength, and PvE strength are still Needs verification. For the full class context, read the Mistfall Hunter classes overview.
Is there a final Mistfall Hunter tier list?
No. The Mistfall Hunter class watchlist is an Open Beta Class Watchlist, not a final tier list. This site does not publish S/A/B tiers, best-class certainties, or locked pick advice before launch-version evidence exists.
Does Mistfall Hunter use kernel-level anti-cheat?
The Steam storefront lists kernel-level anti-cheat and names Bellring Anti-Cheat. Details beyond that storefront label should be treated as Needs verification.
Does Mistfall Hunter support Chinese?
Steam lists Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese interface support. Full audio/subtitle coverage and launch-version language behavior should be checked on storefronts before launch.
