Earlier this year, NPC Studio released the third major update for their delightful farm life fantasy RPG, Fields of Mistria. Now, the development team is enthusiastically sharing their vision for the game’s future, including details on the upcoming update and its much-anticipated departure from early access in 2026.
NPC Studio recently unveiled its comprehensive content roadmap, announcing that Update 4, titled ‘The Mines Update,’ is slated for early 2026. This significant update will bring a conclusion to The Mines storyline. While the exact date for Fields of Mistria’s full 1.0 release in 2026 remains flexible, the studio has already teased an abundance of exciting new features.
The studio’s official announcement on social media confirmed the roadmap, generating excitement among fans eager for the game’s evolution.
The upcoming ‘Mines’ update promises to deepen player engagement by introducing a mysterious new bachelorette. Players can also look forward to various quality-of-life enhancements, expanded skill perks, and fresh customization options. Additionally, new gameplay systems like apiaries and terrariums are on the horizon, offering more ways to interact with the world.
Update 5 marks the official transition of Fields of Mistria from early access to its full 1.0 release. With this launch, the game will be completely completable, featuring new dungeon quests, charming wedding events for all romancable NPCs, an array of new cosmetic choices, and even more surprises.
