Bellring Games has dropped the official FAQ for the upcoming test, and there is a lot for prospective Gyldhunters to track. The beta officially kicks off on June 15 at 01:00 UTC+0 and runs through June 22. It is a true cross-platform affair, supporting PC via Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5, complete with full controller support for those who prefer sticks over keys.
If you want to hit the ground running, pre-downloads begin on June 14. However, Steam players should note a slight delay; due to platform restrictions, the Steam pre-load won't go live until 16:00 UTC+0. Getting the client ready early is highly recommended, as Mistfall Hunter is all about that initial gear rush.
While this is a data-wipe test—meaning your character level, loot, and general progression will be deleted once the beta ends—it isn't all for nothing. Bellring Games confirmed that specific cosmetic rewards earned during this window will carry over to the official launch. As long as you use the same account when the full game drops, those bragging rights stay in your inventory. It’s a smart move that rewards the grind without breaking the meta for the 1.0 release.
For the content creators among you, there are no NDAs here. Streaming and video creation are fully encouraged. Whether you are solo-queuing or running in a team, this week-long window is the perfect time to stress-test builds and get a feel for the PvPvE flow before the stakes become permanent.
