Mistfall Hunter locks July 30 Game Pass day one — dark fantasy extraction ARPG
After Halo week, Xbox wants your evenings darker. Mistfall Hunter — a dark fantasy extraction ARPG — is confirmed day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass for July 30, 2026, per yesterday’s Wave 2 drop. Combine skills, talents, and gear per class; extract with a full haul or lose the run. Solo or team. Xbox’s send-off line: “Good luck, Gyldhunter.”
Where it sits on the July conveyor
Wave 2 sequencing: Shift at Midnight (22), Hell is Us (23), Halo: Campaign Evolved (28), Mistfall Hunter (30), Corsair Cove PC (31), then Beast of Reincarnation and Heretic + Hexen into early August. Mistfall is the extraction palate cleanser between Master Chief nostalgia and Game Freak’s dog RPG — assuming your SSD survives the month.
“Whether you team up or go solo, one thing remains certain — only by fighting your way through can you return with a full haul.”
