Mistfall Hunter What's Next — Post-Launch Calendar
As of August 16, 2026 — Aug 22 harvest mail, Aug 15 stutter work, Soul Harvest live, September Solo Mode still next.
Mistfall Hunter is live as of July 29, 2026 at 6:00 PM PT with Season 1 Soul Hunt bundled at launch. As of August 16, 2026, the headline beat is the August 15 Steam notice on top of the August 12 client: Soul Harvest is live, the Mistchaser Shop is named, a new mail wave expires August 22, server stutter eased after August 13–14 config, and the August 5–12 free-reward sprint (Twitch Drops 2, Wave 3 mail, 10% discount) has ended.
This page is the post-launch calendar — verified deadlines first, teased beats second, invented patch IDs never. Bookmark Official Links and Steam news for app 3282300 when dates move.
