At the ID@Xbox Showcase event, fans were treated to an exciting reveal of a new trailer for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, the much-anticipated sequel to the original hit game. The trailer offered a tantalizing glimpse into the expanded universe that awaits players. In thrilling news for subscribers, it was announced that Moonlighter 2 will be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one, ensuring a broad audience can dive into the adventure as soon as it launches later this year.
Developed by Digital Sun and published by 11 bit studios, Moonlighter 2 is an isometric action-adventure RPG that incorporates roguelike elements. Players will once again step into the shoes of a shopkeeper, embarking on daring quests into dungeons to gather rare artifacts. These expeditions not only promise encounters with formidable foes but also the opportunity to transform a humble shop into a thriving business.
Building upon the solid foundation laid by its predecessor, Moonlighter 2 introduces deeper narratives and refined gameplay mechanics. The storyline follows the protagonist, Will, on his quest to find his way back to his native dimension within the vast world of Trense. Along his journey, Will reconnects with familiar faces and forges new alliances, all while navigating the challenges presented by a mysterious trader. This enigmatic figure sets Will on a path to recover powerful relics that are rumored to hold the key to his return home.
Enhancing the immersive experience is the game's soundtrack, composed by the renowned Chris Larkin, celebrated for his work on Hollow Knight. With such a talented team behind it, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is poised to captivate players on PC (via Steam), Xbox Series, and PS5 when it launches later this year.
