In the world of independent games, some names are better known than others. Xbox knows how to take advantage of this and is showing us today Moonlighter 2 during a presentation of its partner games that are part of the ID@Xbox program. Named The Endless Vault, the title is the direct sequel to the game released in 2018. We find Will, the adventurous merchant, in a completely reworked game that will change completely visually.
Indeed, players are used to seeing the main character evolve in a pixel art world, which is no longer the case in this second opus. The artistic direction changes to a 3D universe, more drawn and painted, with an isometric view. However, we don't lose that cute charm that we associate with the franchise, even with this characteristic missing.
The same but better
For those who haven't played it, Moonlighter is an action-RPG game with a touch of management. Will, a young merchant who dreams of being a hero and doesn't want to settle for managing his shop. At night, he sets out to explore dungeons in search of riches and answers about their origins. The gameplay is based primarily on two axes: exploration and combat in the dungeons, as well as managing the shop during the day.
The Endless Vault will rely on these same mechanics, obviously, and add a good dose of challenge. Players will be able to explore more biomes, containing new challenges and new creatures to face. The developers are also adding items and RPG mechanics that will allow you to increase the strategic aspect of the game. A more advanced trading system and shop effects have also been added to spice up the game. this calmer phase of gameplay.
If it's Xbox that has the difficult task of announcing Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, it's because the title will be available on Xbox Series X/S, Windows PC and will be playable from the day of its release with the Xbox Game Pass. Not all plans are affected; you will need to purchase the Ultimate subscription on console, or the PC Game Pass. For the moment, no date has been revealed, but we should know more in the coming months.
