Moonlighter 2 Brings Back Blend of Shopkeeping and Dungeon Crawling on PS5 in 2025 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Publisher 11 Bit Studios and developer Digital Sun have announced Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, a sequel to the acclaimed shopkeeping sim/roguelike dungeon crawler.

Building on the fun mix of genres in the original, Moonlighter 2 sees the return of protagonist Will as he and his fellow villagers are caught up in a mysterious dimension. You'll need to restore the village and your shop to their former glory as you raid various dungeons and fight to return things to normal.

Players will delve into the roguelike portion of the game to find products and materials to sell in their shop, with later, more dangerous dungeons offering up more valuable rewards. During the day, you'll sell your wares, aiming to rake in all the funds you can so you can upgrade your shop and help out your companions.

While the core of the game sounds pretty familiar, it's being presented with a brand new look, dropping the pixel art for a full 3D rendered world.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is coming to PS5 sometime in 2025. Are you excited to see this series continue? Open for business in the comments section below.

Would totally play a sequel and it looks like they're bringing a new visual style.

Interesting. I didn’t play the original as a lot of the challenges were broken, but this prompted me to research whether the devs
