Fields of Mistria developer NPC Studio posted an update on the game’s content roadmap and detailed some features arriving in a major update slated for March 2025. The features coming to Fields of Mistria in March include a new villager, a gift hint mechanic, additional dialogue options, and a new area to explore.
As one of 2024’s breakout indie games, Fields of Mistria takes inspiration from 90s anime and cozy life sims such as Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. Set in the titular village of Mistria, players can turn an overgrown homestead into one of several different farms as they help restore the town following a devastating earthquake and strange magical events that followed in its wake. Although Fields of Mistria will remain in early access for at least a year, the game currently holds an overwhelmingly positive 97% rating on Steam due to its plethora of charming characters and customization options incorporated via player feedback.

Two months after Fields of Mistria‘s first major update, NPC Studio gave players a list of things to look forward to soon. Fields of Mistria confirmed on social media that its second major early access update will go live in March 2025, though a precise date was not given at the time of writing. Fields of Mistria‘s second update will introduce the draconic Caldarus as a potentially romanceable NPC, though it remains to be seen how their story will play out. Currently, the statue of Caldarus acts as a way for players to spend skill points. Additionally, a new gift hint mechanic from Elsie will be available, giving players an easier way to tell what an NPC’s preferred items are. The Renown level cap will jump from 70 to 90, and new spells, monsters, and skill perks will be added for players to peruse.
