The game is also available on Xbox Game Pass from day one. Players take the role of Gold Hunters, revived by a mysterious girl named Tia, who must collect sand gold and loot from a blighted land consumed by a golden fog while fending off monsters and rival hunters. Death means losing all carried equipment and loot. The game supports solo play or three-player co-op teams. Season 1, Soulhunt, launched alongside the release, tasking players with stopping the Valga tribe's plot to create a false god. The standard edition costs 3,150 yen, and the deluxe edition costs 5,100 yen. A 10 percent off sale runs until August 13. The open beta held in June during Steam Next Fest drew over 430,000 players. At launch, Steam concurrent users peaked around 22,000, but user reviews are mixed, with complaints about server latency, performance stuttering, and crashes.","whyItMatters":"Mistfall Hunter's launch shows strong player interest in the niche of fantasy extraction games, but its mixed reception highlights how server stability and performance issues can undercut even a well-hyped release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe game has six classes, each with two weapons or fighting styles that can be switched in real time during combat.
