Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is announced to leave Early Access on September 2, 2026. This is a pre-launch overview: it records what official sources have announced and deliberately avoids writing planned items as though the launch build has already been inspected.
Quick answer
Version 1.0 is the full-release milestone after the November 2025 Early Access launch and the Greed & Glory and Blob-Life Balance updates. It is scheduled for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 on September 2, 2026.
New combat equipment
The official launch announcement names four Endless Weapon Aspects:
- Endless Short Sword: a piercing multi-hit special whose strike count grows with the combo.
- Endless Great Sword: a defensive stance that blocks, raises Sharpness, and enables a counterattack.
- Endless Spear: spends stored spearheads to empower attacks for a limited time, with more stored spearheads increasing the bonus.
- Endless Gauntlets: increases offensive power while Berserk is active.
The same announcement adds a craftable Machine Gun gadget and Endless Void armor. Endless Void increases base critical chance and adds critical damage for each Spark perk equipped.
Shop and progression additions
- Shop Level 5 adds another Bloblet slot and a cosmetic placement slot.
- Bomb Path marks enemies with explosive charges; enough hits detonate the target and damage nearby enemies.
- Endless Vault VII adds another endgame threshold.
- Hardcore difficulty makes defeat remove all carried relics in the style of the first Moonlighter.
- New Codex pages, Endless Vault cosmetics, K33P3R Level 5, and the endgame merchant Spark are also named.
These items remain labeled announced until the regional launch makes the build available and the live version confirms the implementation.
What to check first on launch day
- Confirm that your storefront shows version 1.0 as available.
- Read the official launch notes for save, balance, and content changes.
- Recheck the shop and exact relic prices before reusing an Early Access list.
- Confirm unlock requirements for new equipment, Shop Level 5, and the Bomb Path in the live build.
- Keep older observations labeled as Early Access when sharing advice.
Spoiler note
The full release is expected to continue the main story. This overview avoids ending details. Future story and ending sections will use an explicit spoiler control and will not reveal content in titles or summaries.
Version notes
Last checked September 2, 2026. Steam still displayed Early Access at that check, so this page continues to label version 1.0 as announced rather than already playable.
