Immediate deadlines (final hours)
Twitch Drops — ends August 5, 12:59 UTC
Mistfall Hunter Twitch Drops run July 30, 2026 01:00 UTC through August 5, 2026 12:59 UTC per official campaign materials summarized on Twitch Drops. As of August 4, the campaign is in its final hours — finish partner watch time and claim Twitch inventory before the window closes.
Rewards include Hunter Supply Chest, Goddess of Fate avatar, partner-locked weapon and material chests, and Gesture: Decipher — all via account linkage, not promo code strings. Hub: mistfallhunter.com/twitchdrops.
10% launch discount — ends August 12, 17:00 UTC
Steam FAQ and Games Press confirm 10% off from July 30, 2026 01:00 UTC through August 12, 2026 17:00 UTC on all platforms. US approximate prices during the window: ~$22.49 Standard and ~$35.99 Deluxe before tax per Release Date and TechTimes reporting.
After August 12, list prices return to $24.99 Standard and $39.99 Deluxe unless storefronts run separate promotions. Standard buyers can still upgrade to Deluxe for $15 anytime per press materials — Deluxe Edition.

Weekly client (Steam Second Wave) — pending dated notes
Bellring’s Second Wave of Launch Rewards Steam post teases one client update next week (relative to that post’s launch week) to improve stability, with detailed patch notes to follow. Player-facing systems named in that tease:
- Dried Flower Knot starts dropping — item page: Dried Flower Knot
- Mist Lord in Einherjar Mode officially opens for challenge — Einherjar Mode
- Higher chance of Holy Weapons or Holy Forging Materials from that challenge
As of August 4, 2026, Patch Notes still lists this weekly build as awaiting dated Steam notes. Do not treat Knot farming or Einherjar Mist Lord loops as fully documented until Bellring publishes quoted bullets — we update the moment official text lands.
Soul Harvest event — August 14, 2026
Games Press launch copy schedules Soul Harvest themed mode live August 14 — a season-spanning event across every map and difficulty tier with new tasks, seasonal events, and exclusive grand rewards.
Soul Harvest is Season 1 themed gameplay distinct from the Soul Hunt season umbrella. DevNote #7 describes progressive rollout after launch plus ritual elites including Soul-Gnawer. Event prep guide: Soul Harvest. Season framing: Season 1 and Soul Hunt.
Exact UTC start/end clocks for August 14 will appear in Steam news and in-client banners closer to the date — watch Patch Notes the week of the event.
Mid-season — Ancestor Tree on Hallowgrove
Bellring’s Jul 17 roadmap schedules Ancestor Tree gameplay exclusively on Hallowgrove for Season 1 mid-season — not launch day. The tree spawns over time; Gyldhunters contest treasure or extract safely. Guide: Ancestor Tree and Maps.
No fixed August calendar date is published in Steam bullets at writing time. Treat mid-season as after launch-week stabilization and the August 14 Soul Harvest beat unless official posts add a precise clock.
Future season — Blackarrow new weapon delayed
Steam’s July 17 Official Launch Announcement confirms the Blackarrow bow class ships day one but states the Blackarrow new weapon archetype launches in a future season due to development timelines. Launch players use dual bow stances only until that drop.
Track announcements on Season 1, Blackarrow class page, and Patch Notes — we do not invent weapon names or season numbers early.
July 30 hotfix — already live context
The July 30, 2026 stability patch addressed crash and stutter issues, auction house bugs, Einherjar wording versus Second Wave timing, Withered Knight Polearm & Shield buffs, and the Public Training Room controller settings fix. Full summary: Patch Notes.
Open 12 known issues still tracked on Known Issues as of launch week — check before assuming a bug is account-specific.
Player count and review context
Community coverage notes Mistfall Hunter crossed 500,000+ players during launch week with Steam review sentiment recovering as hotfixes landed. Open Beta drew roughly 430,000 players per Games Press — launch exceeded beta scale in aggregator reporting. Moving targets live on Review.
