Mistfall Hunter is one of those games you don't think would work, but somehow does, and does really well. This Soulsy-extraction game was supposed to arrive earlier in 2026, but with the new addition of a PS5 launch, it's moving to July. The news from a recent dev log is below.

I was not thinking a third-person fantasy extraction game would properly mimic the extraction shooter

Greetings, Gyldhunters! Thank you all for your continued support. First of all, we would like wish you a wonderful year ahead filled with happiness and success!
Over the past few months, we have completed development on the new class Withered Knight, a variety of new gameplay mechanics and system features, as well as several targeted optimizations based on feedback from the previous test. For details, please refer to the Roadmap below and the upcoming development logs.
That said, beyond our regular content creation, we want to take some bold steps and introduce meaningful innovations to make the game even more fun. For example, we are planning a complete overhaul of the core combat mechanics, moving away from the previous energy-exhaustion-focused design toward combat that feels freer and more fluid. We are also experimenting with new mechanics that fundamentally reduce stage pressure while preserving the fun and tension of each match. However, when factoring in PvP and PvE coexistence, class balance, solo and team play, and long-term economic cycles, the actual design and production complexity of these improvements has far exceeded our expectations. As a result, we need additional time to properly polish and refine the game.
We firmly believe these changes will significantly enhance the overall experience, and we want Mistfall Hunter to launch in its best possible state. As such, we regret to inform you that the testing and release schedule will be postponed. Our updated plan is to hold the BETA 4 test during Steam Next Fest on June 15, 2026, followed by a simultaneous global launch in July.
Recently, we have received many inquiries regarding a PS5 version. We are pleased to officially announce that the team is actively working on porting the game to PS5. The PS5 version will launch alongside the Xbox and PC versions in July. In addition, to continue gathering feedback from our Gyldhunters, we are planning a small-scale, invitation-only test in April 2026.
More details will be announced as soon as the format is finalized.
