AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault has launched its first major early access update, Greed and Glory, bringing new combat systems, wave-based challenges, and narrative content ahead of its full 2026 multi-platform release.
Early access roadmaps live and die by their first major content drops, and Digital Sun is wasting no time setting the tone for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. According to IGN South Africa, the action RPG has just unleashed its Greed and Glory update, bringing a substantial wave of new features to players currently exploring the PC early access build. The update leans heavily into expanding player choice and combat variety, signaling a strong start for the sequel as it builds toward its full launch.
The headlining addition is the brand new combat path named HEX, which arrives alongside the Greed Colosseum wave-based challenge mode for players looking to test their builds against relentless pressure. Exploration also gets a notable boost with 20 new combat rooms added to the rotation, paired with the introduction of the fifth key narrative arc to pull players deeper into the lore. It is a solid expansion of the core loop that originally put the franchise on the map by blending shopkeeping management with dungeon crawling.
For those holding out for the full console experience, the wait still has a horizon. Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is targeting a full 1.0 release later in 2026 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and even Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. In the meantime, early access participants on PC can dive right into the new update and help shape the final product through community feedback as development continues.
