Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is out on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S after leaving early access at version 1.0 on September 2, 2026. The Japanese package edition from Sega has slipped from December 10, 2026 to January 21, 2027.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault left early access at version 1.0 on September 2, 2026, roughly ten months after it entered early access on Steam in November 2025. The full release completes the main story and adds four Endless weapon aspects, the Bomb Path ability, final-stage shop expansion, the Infinite Endless Vault endgame, and hardcore mode. It is available on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and on PC and Xbox Game Pass.
The sequel keeps Will's dungeon runs and shop management but changes the setting, the protagonist's standing, and the camera. It opens with Will thrown into a wasteland by Tresna's owner, Miss Scratch, and made to fill his backpack with relics. The visuals move from 2D pixel art to 3D, with a top-down view from diagonally above and height differences in dungeon areas. Dungeons use a route-based roguelite structure with branching paths. Four melee weapon types (sword, greatsword, spear, fists) plus a gun replace the previous bow, and a backpack-swing attack joins the combat set.
Sega signed a co-publishing agreement with Silver Lining Interactive and will handle the Japanese package edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2, priced at 5,400 yen before tax, CERO B, for one player. That package was set for December 10, 2026, then moved to January 21, 2027, with Sega citing the postponement and apologizing for it. Sega also opened a Japanese-language official site covering dungeon combat, the shop, and the village.
Before the launch, the original Moonlighter was free on Steam from August 5 to August 9, 2026, and remains in players' libraries permanently. The 2018 action RPG has a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam from about 17,000 reviews.

The developer cited concern over games being reverse-engineered and released before the original launches, judging that a large-scale public test about five months before release carried too much risk.
