No, Mistfall Hunter does not have a dedicated Duo mode or Duo matchmaking. At launch, the game supports Solo and 3-player squad (Trio) play. If two friends want to play together, they must currently queue into Trio matchmaking, either with a random third teammate or by disabling fill and entering as a two-player squad.
| Feature | Current Status |
|---|---|
| Dedicated Duo mode | ❌ Not available |
| Duo matchmaking | ❌ Not available |
| Solo mode | ✅ Available |
| Trio mode | ✅ Available |
| Queue as two players | ✅ Yes, into Trio matches |
| Developer plans for Duo | ❌ No current plans announced |
Why isn’t there a Duo mode?
According to the developers, adding a dedicated Duo queue would significantly complicate matchmaking. Splitting players across Solo, Duo, and Trio playlists could increase queue times and make it harder to create balanced lobbies, especially across different regions and skill brackets.
As a result, the team has chosen to focus on maintaining healthy matchmaking for the existing Solo and Trio modes.
How can two friends play together?
If you have one friend, you still have two options:
- Queue with Fill enabled: The game finds a random third teammate.
- Queue with Fill disabled: Enter Trio matches with only two players, accepting the disadvantage of being outnumbered.
Mistfall Hunter supports creating parties and inviting friends across supported platforms, making it easy to squad up before matchmaking.
Will Mistfall Hunter ever add Duo mode?
At the moment, there is no confirmed roadmap for Duo mode.
During a recent community Q&A, the developers addressed one of the game’s most requested features and stated they currently have no plans to introduce dedicated Duo matchmaking. They acknowledged player demand but indicated that maintaining matchmaking quality remains the higher priority.
Of course, plans can change if player feedback remains strong or the player population grows enough to support another playlist, but nothing official has been announced.
Why players want Duo mode
Duo mode has become one of the community’s most requested features because it would:
- Allow two friends to play without relying on a random teammate.
- Create more balanced 2v2 encounters.
- Reduce coordination issues common with matchmaking.
- Appeal to players who prefer cooperative play without managing a full three-person squad.
Community discussions continue to request team-size-based matchmaking or a dedicated Duo queue, although these are player suggestions rather than confirmed features.
Should you wait for Duo mode?
Probably not. Since the developers have explicitly said there are no current plans for Duo matchmaking, players interested in Mistfall Hunter should expect to play either Solo or Trio for the foreseeable future.
If you’re playing with one friend, the best experience is generally to queue into Trio matches with team fill enabled unless you’re specifically looking for an extra challenge by running as a two-player squad.
