Mistfall Hunter open beta hits Xbox with a new class and map

Bellring Games has opened Mistfall Hunter – its dark fantasy action extraction RPG – to Xbox players for the first time. The open beta runs from June 14 at 6:00pm PT to June 22 at 3:00am PT, available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC.

The playtest brings two major additions. The Withered Knight is a new class built around a greatsword, calculated timing, and heavy parry techniques – lore-wise, these were once the Pontiff's elite guard before the world fell apart, and they now serve as a powerful frontline anchor for a squad. The second addition is Hallowgrave, a brand-new vertical map set in a bleached sacred forest. It features the Divine Anchor, a pale relic that draws corrupted enemies toward it, and the coastal highlands of Hastine's Fall, where a giant's corpse still radiates divine energy.

Mistfall Hunter is set in Weavereach, a shattered world where the gods are dead and the Gyldenmist is corrupting everything that remains. Players pick from six classes that mix magic and melee, and can swap weapons mid-fight to adapt on the fly. The core extraction loop is unforgiving – dying means losing your entire haul. To extract safely back to the Windrest hub, players need to hunt down the Returner Woodling for a Soul of Return. Inside the mist, ruins hold treasure guarded by the Corroded and Mist Lords, but other players are fair game too if you want their loot.

This is the first Xbox playtest for Mistfall Hunter, and it doubles as a substantial content drop ahead of the full release. Anyone curious about the genre has until June 22 to jump in.
