What is Mistfall Hunter?
Mistfall Hunter is a dark fantasy PvPvE extraction action RPG by Bellring Games published by Skystone Games. You play a Gyldhunter descending into corrupted ruins to loot Gyldenblod and gear, defeat the Returner Woodling, obtain a Soul of Return, and extract to bank progress in Windrest camp. Death before extract risks your haul — see How to Extract and First Extraction.
What is the core extraction loop?
Every successful run follows the same spine:
- Prepare at Windrest — Camp Upgrades and Builds.
- Enter ruins from the hub queue.
- Loot Gyldenblod, gear, and materials — Items.
- Fight Corroded PvE and optional rival Gyldhunters — Multiplayer.
- Defeat the Returner Woodling — Returner Woodling.
- Summon an extraction portal — Soul Tree routes vary by map.
- Bank loot in the Warehouse at Windrest.
Seasonal layers like Soul Hunt rituals add objectives without replacing extract discipline — Soul Hunt guide.
How many classes are there?
Six classes at launch, each with two weapon stances swappable mid-fight:
- Mercenary
- Sorcerer
- Blackarrow — new weapon archetype delayed to a future season per DevNote #7
- Shadowstrix
- Seer
- Withered Knight — Polearm & Shield added at launch
Use Class Picker and Launch Tier List for day-one picks.
Is Mistfall Hunter on Xbox Game Pass?
Yes — day one. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass include access at launch per official Xbox press materials summarized on Game Pass. Game Pass players earn the same free Battle Pass after seven cumulative login days — no paid stat boosts on the track.
Standard Edition ($24.99) and Deluxe Edition ($39.99 with Fate Coins and cosmetics) remain on storefronts — Deluxe Edition.
Cross-play versus cross-save
Cross-play: yes across PC, PS5, and Xbox at launch — squads can mix platforms in the same extract lobby per official messaging.
Cross-save: limited. Progression syncs within the Xbox ecosystem (Xbox console ↔ Xbox PC / Microsoft Store) but does not cross between PlayStation, Steam, and Xbox accounts. Plan your primary platform before investing Gyldenblod into Camp Upgrades and Auction House economy.
Are there promo codes at launch?
No confirmed active public promo codes at launch. Open Beta rewards arrive via in-game mail on the same linked account — Avatar Frame Bell of Return, Pose Finger Heart, and the “No, it’s a bug!” emote — not third-party code strings. Read Codes hub and How to Redeem.
Twitch Drops run July 30 01:00 UTC through August 5 12:59 UTC 2026 — rewards claim through official Twitch linkage, not random Discord codes — Twitch Drops.
Battle Pass: is it free?
Yes. Season 1 Slumbering Contract Battle Pass unlocks completely free after seven cumulative login days (non-consecutive OK) per DevNote #7. Rewards include Slumbering Servant outfit and cosmetic tokens — zero pay-to-win per official store copy. Full breakdown: Battle Pass.
What is Season 1 Soul Hunt?
Season 1 Soul Hunt ships at launch with:
- Soul Hunt in-match rituals — Soul Hunt guide
- Holy Weapons boss drops — Holy Weapons
- Brandrgarde Cataclysm endgame — Cataclysm
- Path of Glory ranked ladder at Level 6 — Path of Glory
- Soul Harvest progressive themed content — event emphasis August 14, 2026 per seasonal roadmap on Season 1
- Ancestor Tree mid-season on Hallowgrove — Ancestor Tree
When is the Soul Harvest event?
Soul Harvest receives progressive rollout at launch with a highlighted August 14, 2026 event beat on the seasonal calendar — verify exact UTC windows in-client and on Steam news when Bellring posts timed announcements. Track updates on Season 1 and Updates hub.
Ranked mode basics
Path of Glory unlocks at Level 6, is opt-in, spans seven tiers from Duskborn to Zenith, and deducts points on failed extracts. After Fateweaver I, Normal difficulty stops awarding Rank Points — climbers need Cataclysm and higher difficulties. Details: Path of Glory.
Performance and launch issues
PC stutter? Start with PC Settings and System Requirements. Jul 17 Steam documented UE5 shader precompilation fixes; DevNote #7 added camp FPS improvements.
The July 30 stability patch sent Gyldenblod x5,000 compensation mail and addressed crashes — Patch Notes. Twelve tracked launch bugs including Soul Tree double Soul of Return consumption live on Known Issues.
