During Wholesome Direct 2026, a new trailer reveled the 1.0 release date for farm sim, Fields of Mistria. Fields of Mistria will leave early access and officially launch on August 5, exactly two years after it first launched via Steam Early Access.

The 1.0 update fully adds marriage and children, with 10 proposals and wedding events for romancable NPCs (plus, Heart cap raised to 10). Plus, more dungeons, quests, NPC requests, museum sets, skill perks, furniture and decor and mount skins. The official storyline or repairing the town will also be fully completable.

The developers also tease that while the 1.0 version is finished as originally envisioned, it’s only the beginning.

Like Stardew Valley, Fields of Mistria is a farm sim RPG inspired by 90s classics such as Harvest Moon. The palette and art style are very SNES-coded, and the character design is obviously inspired by 80s and 90s anime and JRPGs.

Ahead of the 1.0 release, the game is getting a performance patch on July 7. Check out the full 1.0 roadmap for more details.

If you’ve played any farm sims you already know the drill: take over an empty but large farmland in a quaint town by growing crops, raising animals, and gathering materials. The town of Mistira features over 30 NPCs to befriend, including a dozen romanceable NPCs. Battle monsters in caves, fish in lakes and the nearby sea, and build up your farm while restoring the town to its former glory.

Fields of Mistria is currently available via Steam Early Access, and will update to 1.0 on August 5.
