Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is leaving Early Access next month, bringing its dungeon crawling and shopkeeping adventure to its full release.

After spending several months in PC Early Access, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is finally ready for its 1.0 launch. Developer Digital Sun has confirmed that the game will officially release on September 2.

The sequel changes things considerably from the original Moonlighter, which launched in 2018. Instead of the first game's top-down pixel art, Moonlighter 2 uses a fully 3D isometric visual style.The basic gameplay loop, however, remains familiar.

Players take control of Will, an adventurer who spends his nights exploring dangerous dungeons, fighting monsters, and collecting valuable treasures. During the day, he returns to his shop to sell the items he found and use his earnings to improve his business.

The 1.0 update will add several new features and pieces of content. Players can look forward to new weapons and armor, along with a new combat ability called Bomb Path.

Bomb Path causes enemies to explode after they have taken enough hits, giving players another way to deal with groups of enemies during dungeon runs.

The shop will also reach its final upgrade level, bringing additional Bloblet slots, new cosmetic choices, and more room for players to expand their business.

The game's story will receive its conclusion as part of the full launch, giving players the complete narrative alongside the new content and improvements introduced during Early Access.Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC.
The Xbox version will also be available through Game Pass on launch day.

Digital Sun is also giving players a chance to revisit the original Moonlighter. The first game is available to own for free on Steam for a limited time, giving newcomers an easy way to experience the series before jumping into the sequel.
