Dazzling the world of Guardian Tales with roguelite charm

Amsterdam, The Netherlands — September 16, 2025 | Kakao Games is delighted to announce that they are partnering with award-winning studio Motion Twin to bring a part of the iconic roguelite action-platformer Dead Cells into the world of Guardian Tales.

But Dark Mage Beth is not the only one affected by this takeover. A new skin for Heavenhold’s Princess can be obtained, turning her into the mightily adorable Dead Cells Mushroom Boi Princess. 

Alongside this, a variety of collaboration commemorative items will be available: 

• Exclusive Hero and Equipment Costumes for Plague Doctor, Knight, and Yun
• Heavenhold Monument
• An atmospheric Room Background
• Ghostly portrait Frames
• Event exclusive themed Sticker Pack

To celebrate the collaboration, Guardian Tales is also holding a Lucky Roulette Event during which players can obtain a treasure horde of goodies and collaboration-exclusive items, gifting players a free roulette spin during the event period.

Fresh Hunts Await — Customize your Gyldhunter, Forge Alliances at the Camp, Master the Blasphemer’s power, and rise against the new Mist Lord

[September 15, 2025] – Bellring Games has officially unleashed the next evolution of its dark fantasy action extraction RPG with Mistfall Hunter as BETA 3 goes live today at 6:00 PM PT. Registered players can already pre-install the game on Steam. Step into the new Camp to gear up and forge alliances, explore the dark powers of the Blasphemer Seer path, and take on the terrifying Mist Lord General Harald. BETA 3 also debuts character customization with female variants for all core classes, answering one of the community’s top requests. Solo and Trio modes return as well, now enhanced with two distinct difficulty options—Normal and Chaos.

What’s New in BETA 3:

• The Camp – A New Hub for Preparation, Lore, and Connection: The Camp is now the first place Gyldhunters see when they enter the world. This explorable hub area blends quiet moments of preparation with new layers of storytelling. Here, you’ll meet Dew, the mysterious goddess who guides your journey, and interact with new NPCs that offer quests, gear upgrades, auctions, and essential services. Invite friends, form parties, and strategize before calling upon Soekja to summon the boat that will carry you into the Gyldenmist.
• New Class Path, Blasphemer Seers: The once-divine Seers now splinter. While some remain faithful, others walk a new path. Blasphemer Seers reject the Goddess of Light and channel their suffering into brutal close-quarters combat. Wielding maces infused with elemental devastation, they unleash a Special State that fuels explosive burst damage and savage flanking strikes. It’s a violent rebuke of divinity—and a deadly asset in the right hands.
• New Boss: General Harald: Prepare for an unforgettable boss encounter – General Harald, former hero of Brandrgarde. Once a revered commander, his soul was lost in a desperate experiment to stop the Gyldenmist. Now, twisted by madness and power, Harald guards the ruins as a relentless executioner. Only the most fearless Gyldhunters will survive him—and claim the treasures he protects.
• Playable Female Characters + Customization Debut: The female versions of all five core classes—Sorcerer, Black Arrow, Shadowstrix, Mercenary, and Seer—are now fully playable. Alongside this long-awaited feature, BETA 3 introduces the first wave of character customization, giving players more freedom to define their identity in the Age of Corrosion.
• Expanded Extraction Options: Beyond looting the Soul of Return from the Returner Woodling, Gyldhunters can now use fixed exits for extraction, each with unique constraints. Adapt your strategy and choose the best escape route for every hunt. 
• Refined Stamina System: The Stamina System has been reworked to better balance fast-paced action with tactical depth. Penalties have been eased with a shorter Weakened duration, faster recovery, uninterrupted regeneration under attack, keeping combat fluid while preserving its strategic edge.

In Mistfall Hunter, enter a world scarred by the war between the Gods and the Outer Gods, the Gyldenmist—born from divine blood—spreads madness and corruption across the land. Civilization has fallen, yet hope lingers through Dew, a fragment of the Fate Goddess’s soul who grants immortal flesh to fallen heroes. In BETA 3, become one of these resurrected warriors and return to brave the Gyldenmist, battling monstrous creatures and rival players in search of powerful gear and long-forgotten truths.

Mistfall Hunter Key Features: 

• FIGHT – Immerse yourself in smooth, third-person gameplay and fast-paced combat. Select your player class and then utilize both magic and steel to customize your combat style. Players can switch weapons during battles to adapt to various enemies. You can even team up with friends to execute surprising combos to secure victory over any who may challenge your greatness.
• LOOT – There are rich treasures in the ruins guarded by the Corroded, or even terrifying Mist Lord. Fight these powerful creatures for spoils or take the quicker route by hunting down and looting other Gyldhunters. Just be careful. If you die, you lose everything.
• EXTRACT – To successfully escape from the ruins players need to locate a rare monster called “Returner Woodling”. Defeating it grants an item called “Soul of Return”. With this item in hand players can create their path home. Yet the Gyldenmist conceals more than one way out.

Mistfall Hunter is coming to Steam, Xbox, and Microsoft Store. Eager to face the Gyldenmist again? Join the BETA 3 on Steam, wishlist Mistfall Hunter.

But watch out, you aren’t the only one with authority to flex – sometimes inspectors will come onto your bus to make sure everything is above board. Feel free to fling people at them, though – it’s your trolley after all.

TROLEU launches today with multiple routes featuring unique mechanics to master, from the suburbs to the beach to the ocean depths and beyond, as well as special twists during Night Shift mode!
