Moonlighter 2 Update Adds Bloblet Companions

Digital Sun Games and 11 bit studios have rolled out the second major Early Access update for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault, bringing a sizable batch of new features, progression options, and gameplay tweaks to the action RPG shopkeeping adventure. The headline addition in this update is the arrival of Bloblets, small companion creatures that players can discover while venturing through the game’s dangerous runs. These new companions are more than a cosmetic extra, as they can be adopted and brought back to the shop, where they offer practical benefits that support both dungeon exploration and the business side of the experience.

Players will encounter Bloblets during their expeditions and can work toward adopting them by earning a special currency through completed tasks. Once brought home, these creatures can assist in several useful ways, including improving relic value and offering helpful tips. That makes them a meaningful addition to the game’s core loop, which constantly asks players to balance risk in the dungeon with reward in the marketplace. By tying Bloblets to both exploration and shop management, the update reinforces the identity of the sequel as a game built around two interconnected playstyles.

The update also introduces a Pet Seller, giving players another feature to engage with in town. On top of that, the shop itself can now be upgraded to level 4, opening the door for further progression on the merchant side of the game. Expanding the shop has always been a key part of the broader experience, since success is not just measured by what players survive in combat, but also by how effectively they turn treasure into profit. A higher shop level should give players more room to refine their business strategy and continue building their ideal setup between runs.

Combat and character growth have received attention as well. The new update adds more weapons, giving players extra options when deciding how they want to approach the vault’s threats. Since the game blends melee and ranged combat styles, fresh weapon choices can have a major impact on how runs feel from one attempt to the next. Whether players prefer fast close-range pressure or safer ranged tactics, additional equipment should help broaden build variety and experimentation.

Another notable gameplay addition is a new Poison upgrade path. This gives players another avenue for shaping their combat style and likely creates more opportunities for status-based strategies during encounters. New upgrade paths are especially important in a game like this because they help keep repeated runs interesting, encouraging players to test different loadouts and synergies instead of relying on a single familiar approach.

For those looking for a tougher challenge, the update also adds a Very Hard difficulty setting. That should appeal to experienced players who have already become comfortable with the game’s systems and want a harsher test of their mastery. A higher difficulty can change the pace of decision-making in both combat and resource management, making every mistake more costly and every successful run more satisfying.

Beyond the larger additions, the update includes a range of bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements. While these changes are often less flashy than new companions or weapons, they can be just as important for an Early Access title. Smoother systems, fewer technical issues, and better usability all contribute to making the game more enjoyable as developers continue shaping it ahead of full release.

As a sequel to the 2018 original, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault continues the series’ distinctive blend of action RPG dungeon-crawling and shop simulation. Players once again follow Will, who returns alongside his companions in a new adventure that leaves them stranded in a mysterious dimension. From there, the game sends players into the vault in search of treasure, danger, and opportunities to grow stronger.

During these runs, players choose from a selection of melee and ranged weapons while navigating hazardous environments packed with enemies and valuable loot. The dungeon side of the game focuses on risk, timing, and survival, but the experience does not end when a run is over. Back in town, Will must sell the items he recovers, manage customer interactions, and use business savvy to maximize profits. Haggling, presentation, and shop customization all play a role in turning dungeon spoils into long-term progress.

That merchant loop remains one of the sequel’s biggest draws. Players are not only improving Will’s own store, but also investing in the village’s local businesses to unlock better gear and additional opportunities. This structure gives the game a broader sense of development, where every successful expedition fuels future upgrades and every smart business decision helps prepare for the next dangerous trip into the vault.

The Early Access version of Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is currently available for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store. The full release is planned for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. With the addition of Bloblets, new progression systems, more combat options, and a tougher difficulty mode, this latest update gives players even more reasons to dive back into the vault and keep building their shop empire.
