Grab your satchel, sharpen your blade, and dust off your negotiating skills—Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is officially set to open its doors in Summer 2025! The upcoming action-RPG from Digital Sun, creators of the beloved indie hit, Moonlighter, and published by 11 bit studios, returns with even grander adventures and deeper shopkeeping mastery.

Step into the dual life of Wil—a shopkeeper-turned-hero—as he balances dangerous expeditions alongside the hustle of keeping his business thriving in a reality where fortune favors those bold enough to venture beyond the boundaries of what they know.

As you venture into the unknown, you’ll clash with fearsome foes and gather precious loot in sprawling, dynamic dungeons. Take risks and reap rewards with the game’s new layer of tactical depth—inventory management is no longer just about saving space. Relics carry special properties, adding tension and strategy to every expedition.

On the shopkeeping side of things, you’ll keep your store bustling by harnessing powerful boosts and charms to maximize sales and keep customers lining up at your door.

And while you’re stuck in Tresna for now—a brand-new location in the series, born from a dimensional mash-up—you might as well try to prosper together with the local townsfolk. Invest in the flourishing village of Tresna, shape its future, and unlock new opportunities for your own success.

With portals to other dimensions just waiting to be explored, you’ll soon learn: a merchant’s journey never ends.

Developed by Spanish studio Digital Sun, the team behind the original Moonlighter, its DLC Between Dimensions, and the acclaimed Cataclismo, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is set to launch in Summer 2025.

Arrives June 13

The game is set to launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

What if survival meant facing the versions of yourself you never became? The version of you who chose family over going to college? The version of you who chased down your high school sweetheart and made her your wife or the version of you who lost her? In The Alters, the upcoming sci-fi game from 11 bit studios (makers of This War of Mine and Frostpunk), where survival has never been so personal, the path to salvation begins with a question as old as humanity: What if I had chosen differently?

Revealed today as part of the 2025 Triple-I Initiative, 11 bit studios announced that The Alters will launch on June 13, 2025, arriving on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and day one on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

Stranded on a hostile planet and racing against a deadly sunrise, Jan Dolski’s only chance of survival is to create “alters”—alternate versions of himself shaped by roads not taken. Each Jan comes with unique skills, personalities, and memories tied to a different life choice. But they also come with conflict, doubt, and emotional baggage.

Managing the mission means managing yourself—literally. Players must maintain a mobile base, make time-critical decisions, build relationships with their Alters, and confront the consequences of their own past lives.

And as a new element the trailer leans into, The Alters reveals the hardships of exploring the planet’s unique biomes, where deadly anomalies stand in your way. Levitating rocks and eerie distortions of reality catch your attention immediately, while other singularities remain invisible to the naked eye and require special tools to uncover. In every case, without a careful approach, you risk instant death, radiation-induced injuries, or even the disintegration of time and space itself. And you may want to avoid exploring at night, as the heightened radioactivity can eat right through your suit. These dangers add yet another layer to the survival experience, turning every expedition into a high-stakes puzzle.

Blending survival, base-building, exploration, and emotional storytelling, The Alters is a deeply personal sci-fi experience where every decision matters—and every version of you has something to say about it.

The game is set to launch in 2025 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. It will also be available on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.

Coming to PC in 2025

Step into a realm where sorrow meets strategy in Death Howl, the latest game from the Danish team The Outer Zone and 11 bit studios. Death Howl weaves a poignant tale of grief, healing, and resilience, crafted into an atmospheric soulslike deck-builder.

In Death Howl, you play as Ro, a grieving mother navigating an ethereal, stone-age Nordic-inspired realm in a desperate quest to reunite with her departed son. As Ro, you’ll face relentless spirits in grid-based, turn-driven battles that demand not only tactical precision but also the ability to adapt. To forge a path through despair and stand against formidable enemies and fearsome bosses, players must craft and refine their decks. Each realm visited offers unique deck types and mechanics, enriching and deepening the strategic layer. Players can further enhance their decks with shamanic totems, ensuring they are best prepared for the deadly encounters ahead.

While dropping the run-based gameplay, Death Howl inserts deck-building mechanics into an explorative open world, divided into grim biomes, like the Forest of Howling Shadows or Meadows of Delusion. Each region not only unlocks aforementioned new cards to craft, but also unveils fragments of Ro’s story, steeped in themes of love and loss, and uncovers the forgotten lore of this mysterious spiritual world.

“The loss of a loved one is universal—an inevitable part of the human experience. We believe our narrative approach will resonate with players of all kinds. We’ve introduced a fresh take on the deck-builder genre, combining it with soulslike exploration and adding compelling lore to leave a lasting impact on anyone who joins Ro on her journey,” reflects Malte Burup, the Director, Artist, and Writer for Death Howl at The Outer Zone, a three-person studio based in Copenhagen. Joining Burup are Rasmus Nilsson, Programmer and Designer, and Lasse Sommer, Animator, Artist, and Designer.

Prepare to step into Ro’s journey and explore a world shaped by hope and grief. Death Howl is set to release on PC later in 2025 and is supported by the Danish Film Institute – The Games Scheme.

Step back into a vibrant world where daring escapades meet the art of commerce! Digital Sun and 11 bit studios are delighted to announce the return of Will, the beloved hero merchant from the 2018 indie hit, Moonlighter. This time, he’s hungrier than ever for adventure—and the treasures that come with it.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault launches in 2025 for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. The sequel builds upon its predecessor’s winning formula of dungeon-crawling exploration, action RPG combat, and shopkeeping. Players will join Will and his companions, stranded in a mysterious dimension in the village of Tresna. With his sights set on restoring its former glory—and his shop to its former renown—Will also discovers a tantalizing opportunity to return home, thanks to a curious relic collector.

Armed with a diverse arsenal of melee and ranged weapons, Will is as skilled in battle as he is at striking a bargain. His adventures take him deep into the perilous vaults, where riches await the bold—but danger is ever-present. Back in the shop, it’s all about charm, strategy, and haggling to turn whatever he could find into gold. After all, in Will’s world, everything has its price!

“The original Moonlighter was a pivotal moment for us, marking the growth of Digital Sun as a team. Five years on, Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault showcases everything we’ve learned along the way. We’re channeling all our craftsmanship into creating a game that’s not just better, but brimming with even more charm in every detail”, said Javier Gimenez, Digital Sun CEO.

Features:

  • Revive Tresna’s Splendor: Invest in the village’s development by supporting local businesses, upgrading gear, and unlocking new opportunities. As Tresna flourishes, so will your shop’s fortunes.
  • Loot Like a Legend: Prepare your gear, restrain your nerves, and delve into treacherous vaults filled with unimaginable treasures. But beware: the deeper you go, the higher the stakes—and the greater the risks.
  • Master the Art of Shopkeeping: Transform your hard-earned loot into profits by charming customers and haggling like a pro. Customize your shop with dazzling decorations to draw even more eager buyers.

Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is published by 11 bit studios and developed by Digital Sun, the Spanish team behind the original game, its DLC Between Dimensions, and other notable projects like Cataclismo. Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is set to launch in 2025 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5.

11 bit studios and Fool’s Theory invite console players to step into the gritty streets of 1905 Warsaw in their isometric RPG, The Thaumaturge. Available today on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, the much-anticipated console release follows the successful PC launch earlier this year.

Wiktor Szulski, the titular thaumaturge, returns to Warsaw after years away for a family ceremony. The city is alive with contrasts: affluent districts of luxury hotels and buzzing bars stand side-by-side with the windswept shacks of Powiśle.

The Thaumaturge is a character-driven RPG blending rich storytelling, morally ambiguous decisions, and strategic turn-based combat. Dive into a world inspired by Slavic folklore, where you’ll encounter mysterious demons called salutors. Use Wiktor’s mystical abilities to influence others or unleash your salutor’s powers in battles as you shape the fate of this gripping tale.

Features:

  • Play an isometric RPG where your choices will shape the outcome of the story.
  • Use your unique skills to influence and manipulate other characters to bend their will to your liking.
  • Tame the power of folklore-inspired demons called Salutors to gain an advantage when exploring the world and bringing adversaries to their knees.
  • Experience unique turn-based combat and defeat your foes using both physical attacks and the skills of your tamed salutors.
  • Meet a rich gallery of characters from different parts of society on your journey and use your mystic abilities to discover their hidden secrets.
  • Explore the rarely portrayed historical period of early 20th-century Warsaw, where crime and luxury are often two sides of the same coin.

Creating a grim portrayal of war—a game that shifts away from the industry’s action movie-like depictions to show the struggle of survival from a down-to-earth civilian perspective—was a risk. Yet, 11 bit studios couldn’t be prouder of what This War of Mine has accomplished in the decade since its release.

The game’s stark portrayal of reality, where morality erodes under the weight of war, has transcended the boundaries of the gaming industry, earning a place in prestigious exhibitions such as those at the Imperial War Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Through charity DLC, the game continuously raises funds for War Child, an organization dedicated to supporting children affected by war. Following Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, all proceeds from one week of This War of Mine sales were donated, generating $850k for the Ukrainian Red Cross.

Furthermore, This War of Mine has influenced academic settings globally, offering lecturers a unique way to educate students on the harsh realities of war. It became the first video game to be officially recognized as “supplementary material” by Poland’s Ministry of Education, with an educational version available for free on the government website for Polish students and teachers. Recently, the game received a Special Recognition Award from Amnesty International, honoring its role in raising awareness of international humanitarian law. Yet, for all this acclaim, we remain troubled by the state of the world today.

This is why the new playable content is titled Forget Celebrations. Innocent lives are still being lost on battlefields, new conflicts are erupting, arms production escalates to feed war’s demand, and civilians and soldiers continue to face unimaginable brutality. With the world bleeding, we believe it is vital to keep pushing for change.

In Forget Celebrations, players return to war-torn Pogoren to follow the story of Katia, a seasoned war correspondent. While struggling to write a book on the brutal realities of war, a missile attack devastates her home, forcing her into an even harsher fight for survival and the recovery of her gathered material. All studio proceeds from Forget Celebrations will be donated to support our charity partners in this anniversary initiative: War Child, Amnesty International, Liberty Ukraine Foundation, and Indie Games Poland. 

Stay tuned to learn how you can make a difference.

No one understands inner demons and deep-rooted human flaws better than Wiktor Szulski, a seasoned thaumaturge who perceives the subtle imprints of human emotion while hunting folklore-inspired monsters hidden beyond the veil of reality. Developed by Fool’s Theory, The Thaumaturge, a historically rich, character-driven RPG set in 1905 Warsaw, will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on December 4th. A playable demo is currently available on both consoles.

The game follows Wiktor, a world-weary thaumaturge returning to his roots in Warsaw—a bustling city teeming with cultural diversity, serving as a vivid backdrop for his journey. Wiktor’s story unravels the secrets of his troubled past alongside those of Warsaw’s eclectic residents, representing every facet of the city’s society. Ultimately, he may even uncover the intrigues of Rasputin, a shadowy figure weaving influence at the highest levels of the Imperial Court and within the Tsarist forces occupying Poland.

With his thaumaturgic powers, Wiktor sees beyond the ordinary, manipulating others’ wills to achieve his ends and forming connections with mystical beings known as Salutors. While these entities offer distinct advantages in turn-based combat and detective-style investigations, each also brings a unique burden—whether Pride, Recklessness, or another flaw—which Wiktor must absorb, making their powers a double-edged sword.

Frostpunk 2, the latest installment in 11 bit studios’ city-builder and society survival franchise, is now available on PC, with console versions set to arrive next year. As a follow-up to 11 bit studios’ acclaimed 2018 bestseller, Frostpunk 2 has been equally warmly welcomed by the media, despite once again plunging players into an icy apocalypse.

Throughout development, Frostpunk 2’s core focus was to be a worthy sequel that stayed true to its roots while expanding the core experience in new and exciting ways. It’s heartening to see the game described as everything players “could want from a sequel” and a “sequel that takes the thrilling cold-survival city-building heart of Frostpunk and evolves it in every way.” The game has also been hailed as “a challenging strategy game that sets itself apart from its contemporaries,” “the most engrossing city-builder” since the original, and a title that “pushes the boundaries of what a city-building game and survival experience can be.”

After years of hard work, the team at 11 bit studios is truly grateful for all the praise and recognition from fans, creators, and media. Thank you!

Frostpunk 2 is available on PC from September 20th, also via PC Game Pass and physical, boxed edition made in cooperation with Skybound Games. Limited Special Edition features a multi-layered shadow box, the Deluxe Edition of the game, postcards, a metal keychain, a faction patch, and sticker.
