Mistfall Hunter’s first season gave players plenty to complain about, from unstable connections to a grind that felt harder than it needed to be. Season 2 is Bellring Games’ answer. It’s out now on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), PlayStation and Xbox, including Xbox Game Pass, with a new seasonal mode, a new boss and a long list of changes shaped by Season 1 feedback. Game director Haoliang Zhang said players wanted “a smoother climb, fairer rewards, and a more stable connection,” and that Season 2 delivers on all three.
The Hallowgrove is burning
The headline addition is Ordeal of Flames, a seasonal mode that sets a random part of the Hallowgrove map alight every match. Spend time inside the new Wildfire Forbidden Zone and you build up Infernal Flame, losing health while dealing more damage. Once it fills, you enter the Burning state and keep losing health in exchange for a damage boost, although a soothing elixir helps keep it under control. A new fire monster also roams the zone, tied to a new crafting material called Soulcoal.
Face the Preacher of the Sun
Inside the fire zone, the Oath Tomb holds a Follower of the Preacher of the Sun. Beat it to collect the Sacred Branch, then take that to the Oath Altar to challenge the Preacher himself. A new main questline also digs into the Preacher’s past as Lars and the disaster behind him.
A javelin for the Blackarrow
The Blackarrow class gets a second weapon school in the Javelin, which lets you switch between close and long-range attacks. Its Divine Infusion mode charges the javelin with divine power for a self-aiming throw. Season 2 also brings Soul Brand, a new seasonal progression system, the Shrine of Honor for showing off achievements, and new high-value loot to extract.
Built on Season 1 feedback
The bigger story might be the fixes:
- Servers: Asian servers are moving to Hong Kong for lower latency, a new US West server is being added, and a new global network acceleration system should help with unstable connections.
- Balance: Every class is getting adjustments, along with a damage falloff system that weakens certain skills when several players of the same class use them repeatedly, and new tactical items to help slower classes chase down enemies.
- Loot: Every map gets more containers, and all containers and monsters have a better chance of dropping high-value items. Forging fees are gone, and forging returns are up.
- Season tasks: The first three chapters of the main quest no longer have to be finished in one run or on one life, and no longer require Chaos or Disaster mode. Solo and three-player progress now count separately, and item turn-in quests are now side quests.
- Quality of life: There’s a new gem warehouse, one-click gem removal and an option to turn off the Triumph Drink animation.
