Open Up Shop In Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault On Nintendo Switch 2

11 bit studios and Digital Sun have announced that Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is in development for Nintendo Switch 2.

This sequel to the popular indie shopkeeping action RPG promises to level things up with “vibrant 3D worlds, deeper dungeons, a beefier combat system, and the return of your beloved backpack – where smart packing isn’t just satisfying, it directly affects the value of your loot.”

You will once again have the chance to live the double life of a fearless adventurer and a crafty merchant, leaping into dimensions stuffed with shiny loot and pesky enemies before returning to restock your shop and tinker with your weapons and gadgets.

The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:

Will Is Back In Business: Dive deep into Action-RPG with roguelike elements and a tale about new beginnings. With no coin to your name, you and the other townsfolk find yourselves stranded in the distant village of Tresna. Now, it’s up to you to get back on your feet and turn your humble shop into the beating heart of the village’s wealth. Explore dangerous dungeons, gather relics, sell them, and reinvest in your friends’ establishments. Unlock new weapons, armor, shop decorations, and—more importantly—restore hope that things can one day turn around.
Fortune Favors The Bold: Profitable perils await, so strap on your trusty backpack and dive right in. Trust your adventurer instincts to plot a clever route, then carefully arrange your loot to maximize profits. Remember: the further you delve, the greater the rewards. How far will you dare to go?
Money Never Sleeps: After each escapade, you put your hard-earned loot on sale. That’s where your shop-owner charm will shine. Deck out the shop, read your customers, and set your own price to score the perfect deal. Cash in on special events while unlocking perks to build sales momentum. Battered scrap or shiny relic, their value isn’t fixed; it’s decided by you!
Towards Prosperity: A merchant can only be as prosperous as their village. Invest in the townsfolks’ establishments to obtain better weapons, armor, and upgrades. As the village thrives and grows more vibrant, new people (and money!) will be drawn towards your shop.
The Endless Vault: Face the challenge of the Endless Vault, an ancient artifact that tests merchants’ skills to their limits. Conquer the Vault’s trials to upgrade your town, and continuously raise the stakes for even greater rewards.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide “later this year.”
