As mentioned above, the full 1.0 release of Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault brings a host of new content for players to peruse, with one of the most notable additions being the seventh and final Endless Vault challenge and a final ending to its story. Beyond completion, four Endless weapon variants, armour, cosmetics, gadgets and more will be added to aid in dungeon-running.

Will’s shop will gain access to its fifth and final level, giving players an additional Bobbet slot and cosmetic placement slot. This upgrade allows players to both bring more companions into dungeons as well as further customise the aesthetic of their shop.

The Bomb Path will also be added as an entirely new perk pathway that allows players to mark enemies with explosives. After taking enough hits, marked enemies explode and deal area-of-effect damage to nearby enemies and themselves.

Endgame progression will also be added in a new Hardcore difficulty, beyond the post-campaign repeatable dungeon gauntlet of The Endless Vaults. If players are defeated in a dungeon run with Hardcore active, they will lose all of their relics and progress.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault puts players in the role of series protagonist Will, a young man transported to the dilapidated town of Tresna. With hallmark ingenuity, Will once again puts on the mantle of shopkeeping by day and dungeon-running by night.

As in 2018’s Moonlighter, players aid Will by engaging with two halves of gameplay. During the night, Will embarks on isometric roguelike dungeon runs where he fights foes in real-time combat. After vanquishing any foe, players potentially gain relics and upgradeable materials that can be taken out of the dungeon. During the day, Will puts out the relics and materials gained to sell in his shop to the townsfolk of Tresna. Players then set wise prices, shrewdly uncover the preferences of certain townsfolk for a tidy profit, and customise their storefront to their aesthetic preferences. In this duality, players help Will uplift the town of Tresna, its inhabitants, and beyond.

With a deep personal fondness for 2018’s Moonlighter, I’m excited to see its sequel completing its long journey to launch. Shopkeeping RPGs are a niche for which I’m thankful for every entry that abounds!

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will launch on September 2nd for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. It will also be available via Game Pass. A demo is available now for all announced platforms.
