Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault Enters Early Access Soon
Game fans can mark their calendars! Publishers 11 bit studios and developers Digital Sun have announced that Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will launch into Early Access on October 23rd. This highly anticipated roguelite adventure continues the beloved series, blending dungeon crawling with shop management in a unique way.
Community-Driven Development
The teams behind Moonlighter 2 are keen to involve players directly from the start. They’ve stated that the Early Access period is crucial for gathering community feedback. Players will be able to share their thoughts and ideas on Discord and official forums, helping the developers refine gameplay mechanics, balance, and content based on direct player input.
What to Expect in Early Access
Even at launch, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will offer a substantial experience. The initial Early Access build promises:
- Three distinct biomes, each featuring unique enemies to challenge players.
- Over a hundred relics for players to discover and sell in their in-game shop.
- An updated combat system, offering four different weapon types.
- Nearly a hundred perks to enhance both dungeon runs and shop operations.
Crucially, the core story elements and the intricate trade system, a hallmark of the Moonlighter series, will be available from day one, providing a solid foundation for the full game.
A Glimpse into the Full Release
The full version of Moonlighter 2 is set to expand significantly on the Early Access content. Players can look forward to even more locations, a wider variety of enemies and bosses, additional quests, new non-player characters (NPCs) to interact with, expanded shop customization options, and general user interface improvements.
Gameplay: Merchant by Day, Hero by Night
Staying true to the series' roots, Moonlighter 2 challenges players to balance two distinct lives. By day, you’ll manage your very own shop, setting prices for your wares, managing inventory, and even haggling with customers. By night, you’ll venture into dangerous, procedurally generated dungeons, risking everything to find rare artifacts and valuable loot. The central ancient artifact, known as the Endless Vault, will test your resolve and ambition with every expedition.
Profits earned from your shop can be invested back into the village of Tresna. Upgrading and expanding the village unlocks access to better weapons, stronger armor, and beneficial bonuses, while also attracting new residents who can offer services and quests.
Platforms and Availability
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will be available in Early Access on PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. It will also be accessible through PC Game Pass. At the Early Access launch, the game will include text localization for Russian speakers. The full version is planned for release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.
