Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games have announced that Mistfall Hunter will launch on July 29, 2026. Before release, players will be able to try the extraction-action game through a public open beta running from June 14 at 6:00 p.m. PT to June 22 at 3:00 a.m. PT across Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation. The test will offer hands-on time with the full three-player co-op loop and the complete class roster, including the newly revealed Withered Knight.
Mistfall Hunter drops players into the Gyldenmist as Gyldhunters, class-based warriors fighting the corroded horrors that stalk the fog. Expeditions can be tackled solo or in three-player squads, with each run built around choosing a class, surviving the hunt, and extracting before the dangers of the mist overwhelm the team.
The Withered Knight was once a Rose Knight of the Kingdom of Gaenaria: sworn, ceremonial, and gilded. Now exiled to the North, the class carries worn armor, broken honor, and a faith that still refuses to collapse. In combat, the Withered Knight uses a two-handed greatsword with unusually long reach, rewarding careful spacing, patient reads, and clean timing rather than reckless pressure.
The class is built around a sigil-and-detonation rhythm. Withering Sigils mark enemies during combat, while Reckoning detonates those marks at the right moment for layered damage and battlefield control. Parry gives the class a precise defensive answer, but mistiming it means taking the hit. Thorn Guide adds a grappling option that drags enemies out of formation, setting them up for allies or follow-up attacks. Withering Talent defines the class further, letting players suppress enemies with sigils or break their lines at a decisive moment. The Withered Knight joins Mercenary, Sorcerer, Blackarrow, Shadowstrix, and Seer as a tempo-setting crowd-control option for three-player teams. Players can join the open beta and wishlist the game on Steam here.
