Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is out. It left early access at version 1.0 on September 2, 2026, and is available on PC, Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. A physical edition for Switch 2 and PS5 follows on December 10, 2026 via Sega in Japan.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is a finished product. The sequel from developer Digital Sun and publisher 11 bit studios left early access at version 1.0 on September 2, 2026, roughly ten months after early access began 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 loop of dungeon runs and shop sales but changes the setting and the view. Moonlighter 2 shifts the series out of Rynoka Village, opening with Will thrown into a wasteland by Tresna's owner, Miss Scratch, and made to fill his backpack with relics. The camera moves from the previous game's 2D top-down view to a 3D top-down view from diagonally above, with height differences built into the dungeon areas. Dungeons use a route-based roguelite structure with branching path choices. Four melee weapon types (sword, greatsword, spear, fists) plus a gun replace the previous bow, and a backpack-swing attack joins the combat set.
Distribution is split between two publishers. Sega signed a co-publishing agreement with UK publisher Silver Lining Interactive and will release the package edition for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 in Japan on December 10, 2026, priced at 5,400 yen (5,940 yen with tax). 11 bit studios continues to sell the digital editions and the PC and Xbox Series X|S versions.
