Is Mistfall Hunter free to play?
Final pricing should be treated as unconfirmed until the developer or storefronts lock it. This page tracks the signals without pretending the answer is final.
Current pricing status
Mistfall Hunter has been associated with free-to-play signals on storefronts, and it is also expected on Game Pass. A recent official community update said pricing will be announced once it is locked in, which had not happened as of this writing. Treat the exact launch price as unconfirmed until a storefront shows a number.
Price is separate from the pay-to-win question
The Steam store page states there are no pay-to-win mechanics and no paid stat boosts, and it lists in-app purchases as a feature — meaning some form of purchase will exist, most likely cosmetic. That is a separate question from the base price itself: whether the game is free-to-play, a one-time purchase, or something else. See the dedicated pay-to-win tracker for the full breakdown of what Bellring has and hasn’t confirmed on monetization.
Beta being free doesn't confirm launch pricing
The Open Beta that ran through June 22 was free to download and try on Steam, Xbox, and PlayStation, which is a common source of confusion. A free beta or demo period does not by itself confirm the launch business model — plenty of premium games run free trial periods before release.
What to check at launch
Check whether the store shows a price, whether cosmetic packs exist, whether a battle pass or season pass is present, and whether any purchasable item affects gameplay.

- Founder or cosmetic packs

FAQ
Was the open beta actually free?

Is there a no pay-to-win promise?
Yes. The official Steam listing states no pay-to-win mechanics and no paid stat boosts. In-app purchases are listed as a feature, so some purchases will exist — likely cosmetic.
When will the final price be announced?
Not yet scheduled. An official community update said pricing will be shared once it is locked in, which had not happened as of this writing.
