Mistfall Hunter launched on July 30, 2026, and in just a few days, it attracted over a million players. Developers Bellring Games have already published a roadmap of updates: Season 1 is divided into three stages, with Season 2 announced immediately. The most important things to know right now: the first stage began on August 6, with a solo mode for Branguard and full seasonal quests expected in mid-September. The million-player rewards can only be claimed until August 12. Below, we’ll break it down—what’s already available, what’s coming in the coming months, and what the developers have planned for the future.

Season 1, Stage 1—What’s Already in the Game
Mistfall Hunter’s first major content pack arrived on August 6. Here’s what’s already live.
Einherjar mode is a new difficulty level for those who find the basic challenges insufficient. The gist: you obtain “Dried Blossom Bundles” and bring them to the Mist Lord’s altars to summon empowered bosses. This is essentially an endgame challenge that requires good preparation and coordinated teamwork.
Mist Lords – three bosses have been unlocked: one in Hallowgrove and two in Brandguard. These aren’t just mobs, but full-fledged raid-like opponents with their own mechanics.
Seasonal quests began with the appearance of a mysterious visitor in Windrest. He brings news that sets off a chain of events leading to a new destiny for the Mist Hunters. The quests will unfold in stages, but the first step is already available.
The main event of the stage is “Soul Harvest.” This is a dynamic in-game event that can be activated in Hallowgrove and Brandguard. The mechanics are as follows:
-
Collect Soul Cocoons scattered across the map;
-
Challenge the Soul Eater, a powerful boss;
-
Participate in a multiplayer showdown where multiple squads compete;
-
Earn exclusive rewards.
In the Soul Harvest exchange shop, you can spend your collected resources on collectibles, Soul Coins, and Lunar Nectar. This event will be active throughout Season 1, so there’s still time.
Season 1, Stage 2 – What’s Coming in September
The next wave of updates is scheduled for mid-September 2026. This time, the focus shifts to the story and solo players.
Seasonal quests will be fully unlocked. The story of the mysterious guest will continue, and players will learn what new crisis is brewing on the surface. Completing the entire chain will reward:
-
a rare Peep’s Pouch (Season 1) – likely a container with valuable resources;
-
the “Ghost Ferry” skin for a character or vehicle.
Solo mode for Branguard is a separate challenge for those who prefer to play alone. It will feature two difficulty levels: Normal and Cataclysm. Additionally, there will be an Underlord Speed Challenge (possibly called “Overlords” in the Russian localization): quickly defeat all the Mist Lords to receive additional bonuses from Fern the Forester. The developers warn that solo mode may impact matchmaking and class balance, so keep an eye on the patch notes.
Season 1, Stage 3 – What’s in Store at the End of the Season
The third stage doesn’t yet have a precise date, but judging by the season’s length (approximately 3-4 months), it’s expected to arrive in October-November 2026. Key new features:
New monster – Golden Forester. This rare enemy disguises itself as a precious treasure. Its golden glow attracts players, but its beauty conceals a deadly danger. Hunting it promises to be risky, but the reward is likely worth it.
Random Event: Ancestral Tree. Players must break the Tree’s seal to receive gifts from ancient spirits. But there’s a catch: other hunters are also vying for these gifts, so be prepared for PvP clashes right during the event.
Season 2 Teaser. Stage 3 will feature special quests that will give the first hints about what’s to come in the next season. Completing them will earn you early rewards—possibly exclusive items that will be useful in Season 2.
When will Stage 2, Stage 3, and Season 2 release? — Full Timeline
We’ve compiled all the known and anticipated dates into one table to help you plan your time in the game.
Important: Exact dates for Stage 3 and Season 2 have not yet been announced, so stay tuned for official news. The developers promise to gradually reveal details via Twitch, Discord, and other channels.
What has already been confirmed for Season 2, and what is still unknown?
To help you differentiate between facts and speculation, we’ve divided the information into two columns.
Officially confirmed:
-
A new weapon for the Black Arrow class – the Javelin. It should address the class’s inherent weakness in close combat, allowing for flexible escape and quick return fire.
-
Season 2 will feature a new theme, exclusive gameplay, and its own progression system.
-
Additional seasonal activities will be added beyond what we saw in Season 1.
What remains uncertain:
-
The exact release date for Season 2 has not been officially announced.
-
Specific mechanics of the new progression system. Some materials compare it to Artifacts from Destiny 2, but this is merely speculation on the part of the creators, not official fact. Treat such analogies with caution.
-
Whether the Javelin will be the only new weapon or whether others will be added is still unknown.
The most reliable sources are the game’s official website, Steam page, and the developers’ social media accounts. News from gaming media is useful, but it’s worth double-checking.
Technical Improvements and Anti-Cheater Fighting
The developers aren’t neglecting the technical side of things. They’re actively investigating freezes and lag issues that have become more frequent after recent patches. A fix is planned to be released without server downtime, most likely in one of the upcoming updates.
Furthermore, Bellring Games has already begun taking disciplinary action against violators: cheaters, stream snipers, and those who violate teamplay rules. If you play fairly, there’s nothing to worry about—these measures are aimed at maintaining a healthy atmosphere.
At the time of writing, Mistfall Hunter has mixed reviews on Steam, with some players complaining about optimization. The developers are aware of this and are working on improvements, so the situation may change in the coming weeks.
Mistfall Hunter’s roadmap seems packed—the game is receiving content every few weeks, and Season 2 is already looming on the horizon. If you haven’t yet claimed your million-player rewards, do so before August 12th. In the meantime, enjoy Soul Harvest and prepare for the solo challenges in September. Stay tuned to official channels for the exact dates of the next stages and Season 2 announcements.
