Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated 1d ago

Digital Sun's recent coverage centers on two releases: the sequel Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault and the new title ReVamp. On August 5, 11 bit studios and Digital Sun announced that Moonlighter 2 would launch on September 2, 2026, leaving Early Access with version 1.0. The sequel had entered Early Access on PC on November 19, 2025. Version 1.0 concludes the main story and adds new weapons, armor, and endgame content. The game is available on PC (Steam and Microsoft Store), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, and is also on PC and Xbox Game Pass. To mark the release date announcement, the original Moonlighter was distributed free on Steam from August 5 to August 9, and remains in players' libraries permanently. A free demo of Moonlighter 2 is available on all platforms, and pre-orders started on PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2.

On October 9, Digital Sun set a March 26 release date for ReVamp, a castle-defense roguelite where the player is Count Dracula. A playtest was scheduled on Steam from October 29. Humans assault the castle each time the moon rises, including armored knights, barbarians, and monks. Players rearrange the castle's rooms between assaults and lead an army of skeletal swordsmen and archers, swarming rats, and harpies.

By October 20, the studio canceled the public playtest set to open on October 29 and moved it to its official Discord server, admitting applicants in stages. Digital Sun cited concern over games being reverse-engineered and released before the original launches, judging that a large-scale public test about five months before release carried too much risk. A public playtest is planned for around January. The tower defense roguelite is set for PC (Steam) release on March 26.
