After launching to “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on SteamFields of Mistria continues to grow with new updates from indie developer NPC Studio – and the first major patch is just days away now.

Fields of Mistria offers a unique mix of Stardew Valley charm and Sailor Moon magic with its whimsical qualities and foundation as a peasant sim. It’s managed to keep me busy for countless hours, and I’m about to pour in a lot more when the game’s first major update drops on November 18th. Early Access Roadmap previously gave a glimpse of what’s to come, the patch also contains a few surprises.

One of these surprising additions is mounts and boy, are they downright adorable. As revealed in a recent post from NPC Studio, “Mounts coming to Mistria!” The new mounts “can be called from anywhere outside” and come with their very own skill perks to grab. They are so cute too – just look at the pink cow. It looks like it was plucked straight out of an old Harvest Moon game, and I’m personally here for it.

Mounts aren’t the only exciting feature coming with the patch in a few days, either. The developers have also teased new festivals, home upgrades and decorations, and finally heart events with romantic characters. That’s good news for us cozy gamers, and according to the roadmap, there’s even more to come after this first update. I can’t wait for marriage and kids, new biomes and of course Steam achievements to show off my unwavering devotion.
