Bellring Games is set to release Mistfall Hunter on PC and consoles, incorporating player feedback from beta tests to enhance the game. Players expressed a desire for high-stakes tension without early unfairness, leading to adjustments in early game progression, combat systems, and the introduction of a no-shrinking-zone mode. The game emphasizes PvE as a core element, enhancing exploration and decision-making, with plans for future updates to deepen this experience. Mistfall Hunter distinguishes itself in the extraction genre through genuine third-person action combat, focusing on mechanics like attack direction and stamina management rather than traditional shooter elements. The integration of PvE, PvP, and extraction creates a seamless gameplay experience. Developers are considering a PvE-only mode for players who prefer to avoid PvP, while balancing gameplay for solo players and three-player squads. Each playstyle is designed to thrive independently, with continuous monitoring to maintain class strengths and weaknesses. Player engagement is prioritized, ensuring that death incurs a cost but does not negate progress. The game will feature separate Quality and Performance modes on consoles, support full cross-play, and offer extensive graphics options for PC players, alongside anti-cheat measures.

Epic Games and Google have withdrawn their proposed settlement regarding app distribution on Android, which included a program for registered app stores. This decision allows Google to permit third-party app stores on its platform. The legal dispute began when Epic accused Google of monopolizing Android app distribution. Despite multiple victories for Epic, the companies attempted a settlement that included new billing options and reduced fees, but concerns about sideloading apps led to its abandonment. Google plans to invite other app stores starting July 22 in the United States.
