Crimson Moon Launches on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S

Crimson Moon, developed by Team Metal, has launched on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

The game is set in Gildenarch, a fallen city divided into areas called Wards. Players take on the role of a Nephilim, working through the city's combat encounters, building an arsenal, and confronting its enemies — either solo or with one other player through 2-player online co-op.

What the team has said at launch

  • The game is available now across all three platforms simultaneously.
  • Team Metal has acknowledged that launches can be imperfect and will maintain a Known Issues list via their Support site.
  • A first post-launch patch is already in progress; no details on its contents or timing have been shared yet.
  • Player feedback is being collected through Discord, X, Steam Forums, and Reddit.

Team Metal's candid acknowledgment of likely launch roughness — paired with a patch already underway — signals that players entering Gildenarch now should expect the game to evolve in the weeks ahead.
