Moonlighter 2 Early Access Recap: Weapons, Bloblets, and a 1.0 Date Incoming

Seven updates into Early Access, the teams behind Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault have published a cumulative look at what has been added to the game since launch, framing it as a prelude to a significant announcement: a Version 1.0 release date reveal is coming in the next communication.

What changed during Early Access

According to the announcement, the following content has been introduced across the Early Access period:

  • 4 new weapons and 2 new gadgets
  • 1 new armour piece
  • Hex and Poison Perk Paths
  • Boss Rush Mode
  • A new location: Greed Colosseum
  • The Endless Vault floors V and VI
  • Bloblets (a new enemy or creature type)
  • More combat rooms
  • Upgraded and new vendors
  • New shop customization options
  • Rebalanced Relics
  • New shop mechanics
  • New quests and cutscenes

The post credits player feedback — bug reports, balance discussions, and community suggestions — as the primary driver of these additions.

The developers note that the next announcement will carry the full release date for Version 1.0, though no date or window is given in this update.

For players currently in Tresna, the recap confirms the game has grown substantially from its Early Access starting point, and the road to a finished release is now close enough to schedule.
