Moonlight Peaks vs Fields of Mistria
Two summer-2026 cozy farms — but a ’90s-style pixel RPG with combat versus a 3D gothic vampire sim without it.
Fields of Mistria (NPC Studio) is in early access now and reaches full 1.0 on August 5, 2026. Moonlight Peaks launches July 7, 2026.

Which should you play?
Pick Fields of Mistria if you love ’90s-style pixel art, want light combat in the mines, and don’t mind that its big 1.0 — with marriage and children — lands August 5, 2026, about a month after Moonlight Peaks. It is also far cheaper.
Pick Moonlight Peaks for a 3D, combat-free, gothic vampire take with night farming and shapeshifting. The two launch within weeks of each other in summer 2026, so it largely comes down to pixel-RPG-with-combat versus cozy-3D-vampire.
