Question 1

Is it 'Mistfall Hunter' or 'Mistfall Hunters'?

Accepted Answer

The official title is Mistfall Hunter (singular). Many players search for 'Mistfall Hunters' — it's the same game.

Question 2

What kind of game is Mistfall Hunter?

Accepted Answer

A dark-fantasy PvPvE extraction action-RPG with Souls-like combat — reviewers compare it to Elden Ring meets Escape from Tarkov. You drop into a corrupted ruin, fight monsters and rival hunters for loot, and try to extract alive.

Question 3

Is Mistfall Hunter first-person or third-person?

Accepted Answer

Beta players describe it as a third-person, over-the-shoulder game, unlike Dark and Darker's first-person view. A few have described it differently, so treat the exact default camera as community-reported until the studio specifies it.

Question 4

How is Mistfall Hunter different from Dark and Darker?

Accepted Answer

Both are extraction games, but beta players describe Mistfall Hunter as third-person with faster, more fluid combat and a higher skill ceiling, versus Dark and Darker's slower first-person dungeon crawl. It's a community comparison, not an official one — see our full side-by-side breakdown.

Question 5

When does Mistfall Hunter release?

Accepted Answer

July 30, 2026 at 01:00 UTC — the evening of July 29 in the Americas (6 PM PT / 9 PM ET) — on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. One global unlock, no preload.

Question 6

Is there a beta, and how do I get in?

Question 7

What platforms is Mistfall Hunter on?

Accepted Answer

PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S — all confirmed. A Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 version has not been announced.

Question 8

Does Mistfall Hunter have controller support?

Accepted Answer

Reports conflict in the current beta — some players use a controller while others say it isn't fully supported yet. No official input-support details have been published; we'll update when they are.

Question 9

How many players per squad — and is there a duo mode?

Accepted Answer

You can play solo or in squads of three (officially confirmed). There is no 2-player duo mode right now; the team has signaled they're approaching one cautiously, but it isn't available yet.

Question 10

Is there a PvE-only mode with no other players?

Accepted Answer

Not confirmed. Mistfall Hunter is a PvPvE extraction game — rival hunters are part of the core loop. Beta players report a solo queue with monsters balanced around solo play, but a pure PvE-only mode (no other players at all) has not been announced. A lot of players are asking for one; there's no official word yet.

Question 11

Is Mistfall Hunter free-to-play or paid?

Accepted Answer

Not officially confirmed. The official site mentions free-to-play with optional items, Steam lists in-app purchases with a 'no pay-to-win' pledge, and some press speculates a premium price. Treat the model as unconfirmed until the studio states it.

Question 12

Is Mistfall Hunter pay-to-win?

Accepted Answer

Not confirmed. Steam's page pledges 'zero pay-to-win,' but the full business model isn't finalized, so treat any P2W claim as unconfirmed. Some players worry better-geared squads have an edge in fights — that's a gameplay concern, not a confirmed monetization mechanic.

Question 13

Do I lose my gear when I die?

Accepted Answer

Yes — gear you carry into a run is lost if you die in the field. Equipment banked in your warehouse stash is safe.

Question 14

Is the gear loss too harsh — can you get your gear back?

Accepted Answer

The base rule is unforgiving (die in the field, lose what you carried), which some players say pushed them to quit early. Beta testers have discussed a 'recapture' system that may let you reclaim lost gear, but whether it ships at launch and exactly how it works isn't confirmed.

Question 15

How does extraction work — does one bell extract the whole squad?

Accepted Answer

You extract using a Soul of Return after defeating a Returner Woodling. Beta players report both solo and team extraction points, so each squadmate can extract rather than everyone relying on a single point. The exact rules aren't officially documented yet — see our full how-it-works guide.

Question 16

Why are there only 3 skill slots?

Accepted Answer

Beta players report a three-active-skill loadout limit, which is a common point of debate about build depth. Whether the studio plans to expand it hasn't been confirmed.

Question 17

Will there be wipes between betas or seasons?

Accepted Answer

No wipe policy has been confirmed. Beta progress generally doesn't carry over to a full release in this genre, but the studio hasn't stated its plans — treat it as unknown for now.

Question 18

What are the PC system requirements?

Accepted Answer

Official minimum and recommended specs haven't been published yet. One beta player reported it ran fine on a GTX 1070, suggesting modest Unreal Engine 5 requirements — but wait for the official spec sheet on the Steam page.

Question 19

Will there be servers for my region (South America, Oceania, SEA)?

Accepted Answer

Beta servers have run US and Korea/Asia regions, and some South American players report high ping. Dedicated SA/LATAM, OCE, and SEA servers haven't been confirmed.

Question 20

Will Mistfall Hunter die out fast like other extraction games?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, no one knows yet. Extraction games like Dark and Darker and Dungeonborne have struggled to retain players, which drives a lot of the skepticism. Beta testers counter that the combat is strong and it ran well even on older hardware. Long-term health will come down to post-launch content and balance — none of which is confirmed, so we won't pretend to predict it.

Yes. Mistfall Hunter has an auction house in the social hub, run by an NPC named Woodling Pip (who comes with a pack animal).
