Mistfall Hunter Xbox open beta starts June 14

Skystone Games will run the Mistfall Hunter open beta globally on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox on PC from June 14 to June 22. Pre-download opens the evening of June 13 and servers will close at 3:00am PT on June 22. Players can find the test by searching for “Mistfall Hunter Open Beta” in the Xbox Store and installing the title.

The playtest adds the Withered Knight, a Greatsword-wielding frontline class described as a former Pontiff guard. The class emphasizes long reach and heavy parry techniques intended to break enemy defenses and hold position for a squad. The new map, Hallowgrove, is a vertical bleached-forest environment that includes the Divine Anchor, the coastal highlands at Hastine’s Fall and the Witchery Woods, an enclosed area tied to a false god encounter.

The update also introduces new high-tier legendary gear, a redesigned stamina system aimed at smoothing combat flow, and significant balance changes across existing classes. The studio plans to include additional enemies, new gameplay mechanics and an expanded Gem system to widen build options during the playtest. Progress earned in the beta will be wiped at the end of the test, but participating accounts will receive exclusive beta cosmetics that transfer to the full release.

Mistfall Hunter is a third-person PvPvE extraction action-RPG set in Weavereach, where a corrupt Gyldenmist threatens the land. Players take the role of Gyldhunters, choosing from six classes that combine melee weapons and magic and can swap weapon stances mid-battle. Runs pit players against corrupted creatures called the Corroded, powerful Mist Lords, and rival hunters. Death in a run results in losing carried loot unless a player secures a Soul of Return from a Returner Woodling and extracts.

The game supports solo play and three-player squads and includes talent trees, gem affixes and a free-aim system for targeting. Skystone Games has scheduled the full release for July 29, 2026, with availability Day One on Xbox Game Pass. The studio states there will be no paid stat boosts in the live game. Players who want to join the test should add the open beta from the Xbox Store during the window and follow the game’s official channels for further updates.
