Mistfall Hunter Season 2: Javelin, Preacher of the Sun, Fixes

Mistfall Hunter Season 2, subtitled "Fires of the Past," went live on November 11, 2026, bringing the Blackarrow's new Javelin weapon school, the Preacher of the Sun boss, the Wildfire Forbidden Zone and a long list of fixes built on Season 1 feedback. Developer Bellring Games and publisher Skystone Games released the update simultaneously on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, including Xbox Game Pass, according to the official release and Inven Global.

What launched on November 11, 2026

Mistfall Hunter is a dark-fantasy PvPvE extraction action RPG developed by Bellring Games and published by Skystone Games, a global publisher founded by Diablo creator David Brevik and Bill Wang, per Inven Global. The game first launched on July 29, 2026 in the Americas on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Season 2 arrived on every platform at once. To mark it, the publisher announced a 20% discount starting November 12, which it calls an all-time low price; its release gives November 19 as the end date, as reported by Complete Xbox. The official Steam sale notice lists a window running until November 23 (18:00 UTC) and says prices and dates vary by region and platform, so check your store for the current price.

Game Director Haoliang Zhang of Bellring Games framed the update as an answer to Season 1 feedback: "We heard Season 1 feedback loud and clear: you wanted a smoother climb, fairer rewards, and a more stable connection." He added that "Season 2 delivers on all three, and then sets the Hallowgrove on fire," per the official Games Press release.

Wildfire Zones and the Ordeal of Flames

The season's headline mode is Ordeal of Flames, a seasonal stage mode that sets the Hallowgrove map ablaze. Each match, a random section becomes a Wildfire Forbidden Zone, and spending time inside it builds up an Infernal Flame meter. Once that meter fills, players enter a Burning state that continuously drains health in exchange for increased damage, though a soothing elixir can keep the effect under control, per AltChar.

A new fire-aligned monster also joins the hunt, tied to the production of Soulcoal, a new crafted item, per the official release.

Mistfall Hunter Preacher of the Sun: how to reach the new boss

Inside the Wildfire Forbidden Zone sits the Oath Tomb, home to a Follower of the Preacher of the Sun. Defeating that follower drops the Sacred Branch, which players then carry to the Oath Altar to challenge the Preacher of the Sun himself, a new boss added in Season 2, per the official release.

Season 2 also adds a new main questline: by completing the season missions, players dig into the past of the Preacher of the Sun, Lars, and the truth behind the disaster, per the official release.

Mistfall Hunter Javelin: the Blackarrow's new weapon school

The Blackarrow class gains a second weapon school in the Javelin. Where the class's bow is built for range, the Javelin blends ranged throws with close-range counterattacks, letting players switch between near and far combat depending on the fight. In its Divine Infusion mode, the javelin is charged with divine power for a self-aiming throw, per AltChar and Complete Xbox.

Season 2 also introduces Soul Brand, a new seasonal progression system for developing a hunter through the season, plus the Shrine of Honor, a cosmetic showcase for displaying achievements, and new high-value loot to hunt and extract, per the official release.

Mistfall Hunter classes: what Season 2 changes and doesn't

Season 2 does not add a new playable class. The Steam store page describes six classes, each with two weapon stances, and the official Season 2 update announcement lists balance changes for all six: the Mercenary, Sorcerer, Blackarrow, Shadowstrix, Seer and Withered Knight. Season 2 gives the Blackarrow a second weapon school, the Javelin, alongside its bow. Class balance is getting adjustments across the board, including a damage falloff mechanic that reduces the damage of certain skills when characters of the same class use them repeatedly, along with new tactical items meant to help slower classes close distance on enemies, per the official release. No specific numbers for these balance changes have been published.

Mistfall Hunter is a paid game, not free-to-play. The US Steam page lists the base game at $24.99 and the Deluxe Edition bundle at $39.98; on November 14 both were 20% off ($19.99 and $31.98). Crossplay between PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S is supported and developer-confirmed, and GameRant's list of Game Pass titles with crossplay includes the game. Fan guides report that matchmaking is still split by server region.

Mistfall Hunter patch notes: Season 1 fixes

Alongside the new content, Season 2 addresses issues players raised during Season 1:

• Servers: Asia servers are moving to Hong Kong for lower latency, a new US West server is being added, and a new global network acceleration system targets unstable connections worldwide.
• Loot: Every map gets more containers, drop chances for high-value items are up, and forging fees have been removed entirely, with forging returns increased.
• Season tasks: The first three chapters of the main quest no longer need to be finished in a single run or on one life, and no longer require Chaos or Disaster mode. Solo and three-player progress are now tracked separately, and item turn-in quests have become side quests.
• Quality of life: A new gem warehouse, one-click gem removal, instant destruction of starter gear at assembly tables, and an option to turn off the Triumph Drink animation.

These changes come from the official Season 2 release and are also summed up in the AltChar report and the Inven Global coverage of the launch.
