NPC Studio announced that Fields of Mistria, a PC farming sim with character designs inspired by Sailor Moon artist Naoko Takeuchi’s work, will enter Steam Early Access on August 5, 2024. The developer took to social media to announce it and share a brief trailer with character art.
First, here’s the official reveal. It shows townsfolk, many of them being love interests, before revealing the Fields of Mistria Early Access date. Two of the figures only show up as silhouettes.
The official Steam page for the game further went over how early access will work for the farming sim. It will last for a year and involve regular updates. When it launches, people will be able to make and customize a character, grow over 50 crops during the four seasons, raise and play with animals, and engage in blacksmithing, cooking, and crafting. The “dungeon” and mine area will only go to level 60 when it launches. The Saturday Market will also only have half of its planned vendors. Nine skills will be present. Some home upgrades will appear. Also, the Spring Festival is the only one mentioned.
The romances won’t be complete in Fields of Mistria when it debuts in August 2024. While there will be 10 standard and 2 special candidates, all of them can only get up to four hearts and have two events. The finished game will have 10 hearts available, additional events, and advanced relationships.
NPC Studio also confirmed the game will cost $13.99 when it enters early access. However, that price could change in the run-up to launch. The developer only noted that will come up “at a later time.”
Fields of Mistria will enter Steam Early Access for the PC on August 5, 2024.
