Fields of Mistria July Update Adds Romance and Best Friend Routes

NPC Studio announced the latest Fields of Mistria update will appear in July 2025 and make some major changes to the romance system, including adding an option to become someone’s Best Friend. We’ll also be able to take love interests on dates once the patch goes out. There’s no exact date for its release yet, however.

Many of the biggest changes in the Fields of Mistria July 2025 update have to do with the romance options and additions for the love interests we meet. The new cap for relationships is eight hearts. The previous patches brought that up to six hearts. Once you do reach eight hearts with someone, such as someone like Caldarus, there will be an option to either make things romantic or become their best friend. The dating elements that will allow us to spend time with bachelors and bachelorettes will also come up. 

Some of the other additions are expected raising of top tiers. There will be Tier 4 and 5 Skill Perks, and the caps for those will go up to 60. Renown for the town will go up by five levels, which means new ways to repair after the earthquake and sidequests. There will also be a new festival, which hasn’t been named yet, and the Saturday Market will feature two more people to visit. No new mine biome was mentioned, but there will be changes to monsters and more drops.
