Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault released version 1.0 on September 2, 2026, the date Digital Sun and 11 bit studios announced on August 5, 2026. This page tracks what each announcement promised and what the launch-day post confirmed shipped.

When was Moonlighter 2 version 1.0?

September 2, 2026. The game had been in Steam Early Access since November 19, 2025, so 1.0 was a transition out of Early Access rather than a first release. The Steam listing now reads Sep 2, 2026 with no Early Access tag.

What the launch-day post confirmed

The September 2 announcement is the first-party record of what actually shipped. It describes the conclusion of the main story and names the new systems below.

  • The Infinite Endless Vault postgame, unlocked after the main story.
  • Four Endless Weapon Aspects: Endless Short Sword, Endless Great Sword, Endless Spear and Endless Gauntlets.
  • Shop Level 5, with one more Bloblet slot and one more cosmetic placement slot.
  • The Bomb Path, a new perk path.
  • Hardcore Mode.
  • New vendors, Endless Vault cosmetics, and Codex pages covering enemies, characters, perks and furniture.

What only the August announcement listed

The August 5 post named several things the launch-day post does not mention again. They are kept separate here because they have no launch-day confirmation, which is not the same as being cut.

  • A craftable Machine Gun gadget.
  • The Endless Armour set.
  • Endless Vault VII, described then as a brand-new threshold.
  • Vendors named as K33P3R Level 5 and Spark.

What to do with this information now

Use these lists as an index of what exists, not as an item database. Exact weapon damage, Machine Gun values, Hardcore rules, threshold gold targets and shop prices are not in either announcement and need a reproducible in-game check. The full breakdown of the launch build, including the one rule the postgame does publish, is on the version 1.0 update page.
