Mistfall Hunter has been out for nearly three weeks now, with the extraction brawler launching on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Sequence X|S on July 29. Relationship again to even its open beta, the neighborhood has been begging developer Bellring Video games for one addition: a devoted mode for groups of two.
All around the recreation’s official subreddit are posts from gamers asking that the developer embrace a duos mode.
“I want duos,” Redditor broman510 titled an August 11 submit. “On this, duos vs trios appears so onerous and nearly not possible; more often than not [one] of us is getting jumped by 2 and poked down by one.”
“We want duos,” Matta114 posted on August 17. “I do not care if the sport is balanced for trios. I am going to take unbalanced duos over trios with some random third dude that runs the wrong way each recreation.”
“Upvote for duos,” wrote PuwudleRS in an August 8 submit that generated 1.3 upvotes. “I’m hooked on this recreation, however I CRAVE the duo expertise this recreation has to supply. Please devs, I’m begging with my life.”
The widespread criticism from the neighborhood is that duos would permit associates extra flexibility when enjoying collectively. Not everybody has two different individuals on-line on the identical time and prepared to play the identical recreation. You may queue into trios, however you and your bestie will get a random third fill-in–and randoms are oftentimes unpredictable and unreliable.
“Between the dearth of comms from randoms, to individuals flaking out in fights and leaving their teammates die, to the ******* stealing all of the loot (particularly if the third is a melee and so they can seize the our bodies first),” Redditor kennypeace wrote on August 5. “The quantity of occasions I’ve died, watching somebody loot a lifeless participant, while their teammates are combating for his or her lives, is insufferable. [Three] stack is depressing in the meanwhile, and I am not even gonna point out the bloody lag (in Europe, hope you People are faring higher over there) that could be helped by decreasing the staff rely.”
Sadly, the neighborhood’s name might by no means be answered. Again in March 2026, developer Bellring Video games took to X to share that it at present has “no plans” so as to add a duos mode to Mistfall Hunter. Though the studio is aware of it is a “extremely requested function,” duos would influence the sport’s matchmaking effectivity.
“Extra importantly, it will exacerbate steadiness points,” Bellring Video games mentioned. “It’s tough to make sure balanced gameplay for duos whereas additionally sustaining steadiness for threesome and solo modes. For now, we’re prioritizing different areas of improvement.”
Redditors have referred to as for customers to “make a suggestion for duo queues” within the Discord, and now the support-hub server is rife with customers begging the staff so as to add duos. Other than the official assertion posted on X, Bellring Video games hasn’t mentioned anything relating to a duos mode. It seems this tug-of-war will in all probability go on for some time.
At the very least Mistfall Hunter is a cool expertise, an interesting amalgam of souls-like fight and extraction shooter parts to create one thing of an extraction brawler. It is made me a believer in extraction video games as an entire.
