After the war of the gods ended, only ruins remained in the world. The blood of the fallen gods turned into a golden mist called ‘Gyldenmist,’ engulfing the earth and transforming the souls of the living into madness and monsters. In a world standing on the brink of destruction, a hunt begins where survival and greed intersect.
Mistfall Hunter, a dark fantasy extraction ARPG developed by new developer Bellring Games and published by Skystone Games, co-founded by Diablo series creator David Brevik, will begin its open beta test on June 15.
The game’s official release is scheduled for July 29, and it will be released on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S platforms. Multilingual support, including Korean, has also been confirmed.

A Nordic dark fantasy world shrouded in golden mist
Mistfall Hunter is a third-person PvPvE extraction looter game set in a dark and gloomy fantasy world inspired by Nordic mythology. Players form a party of up to three to enter areas overrun by the ‘Guilden Mist,’ and must secure valuable equipment and resources while battling monsters and other teams of players.
The game’s most distinctive feature is the “Guilden Mist,” a golden fog that pollutes the world. Condensed with the blood of the gods, the Guilden Mist engulfs the land, transforming living creatures into monsters. The unique visuals, where golden divinity coexists with gloomy darkness, powerfully express the game’s dark fantasy worldview.
The sound design focused on building tension. The roars of monsters heard from the fog, the silence upon encountering other parties, and the music bursting forth the moment combat begins heighten the tension characteristic of the extraction genre.
Loot and escape alive… If you die, you lose everything.
The core of Mistfall Hunter is an extraction structure where combat, looting, and escape repeat. Players must combine each class’s skills, traits, and equipment to engage in combat and safely escape with the loot they have secured.
However, if you die, you lose your equipped gear and acquired loot. The hardcore risk structure, which forces you to make choices at every moment—whether to aim for more rewards or protect what you have and escape—further heightens the game’s tension.
Currently, the game features various classes such as Mercenary, Sorcerer, Blackarrow, and Shadowstrix, each offering unique weapons and combat styles.
New Class ‘Forsaken Knight’ Unveiled for the First Time in Open Beta
In this open beta, new classes, new regions, and new bosses will be revealed for the first time.
The new class, the Withered Knight, is a melee combat specialist wielding a two-handed sword. Characterized by a combat style that deals massive damage by branding enemies and then detonating them, the class can control the battlefield using parrying and grappling hook skills.
In the lore, the Forsaken Knights were once the honorable Rose Knights of the Kingdom of Gaenaria, but are now exiles banished to the North. The narrative tells of them returning to the battlefield bearing their worn armor and lost honor.
The new map ‘Sacred Tree Forest’ is also being unveiled for the first time through testing. Designed around a vertical structure, this desolate forest area features distinct environments such as ‘God’s Anchor,’ ‘Coastal Highlands,’ and ‘Wizard Forest,’ offering various strategic options for exploration and combat. Along with this, the new boss ‘Moon of Corruption’ Zalmar makes his debut.
The ‘Gold Rush’ event and the Diablo creator’s trust… Expectations pouring in for the first project
During the open beta period, the limited-time event ‘Gold Rush’ will be held.
Players can exchange ‘Gold Codes’ obtained by defeating monsters or opening treasure chests for various rewards. The list of rewards includes the Gold Hunter Emblem, Steam game keys (Standard and Deluxe Editions), the Golden Forest Spirit Helmet, and the ‘Jackpot’ emote.
Developer Belling Games is a new studio pursuing the development of action games, and Mistfall Hunter is their first project. With support from a publisher featuring the creator of the Diablo series, the tension characteristic of the extraction looter genre, and a unique dark fantasy worldview, the game is garnering attention from gamers ahead of its official release.
Overseas users who have experienced the released test build are showing great interest in the unique structure that combines Soulslike action and extraction genres, and the tense risk-and-reward system and dark fantasy worldview are receiving particularly favorable reviews.
However, during the testing process, suggestions for improving PvP balance and the combat system were raised, drawing attention to how much the level of polish can be improved in the official release version.
