Following up on the February reveal during the Sony State of Play, indie developer ProbablyMonsters has announced that their gothic action-RPG Crimson Moon will launch on September 1 for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. In addition, the devs revealed that musicians HEALTH, Jared Dines, Misha Mansoor, and Ricky Armellino will be composing original songs for the game’s boss encounters.
Those looking for something extra can also spring for the newly-revealed Deluxe Edition of Crimson Moon, which will offer players access to the Ceremonial Armor Set and the Axe of the Gods weapon cosmetic, along with an upcoming expansion for Crimson Moon that will be released at a later date.
“We’ve made Crimson Moon an intense action-adventure RPG that’s approachable to players. We want as many people as possible to enjoy it, and we priced it with that in mind,” explains David Lesperance, ProbablyMonsters General Manager and Game Director. “With our gothic-inspired art design, co-op support, and epic metal soundtrack, we’ve made something truly unique for gamers to experience this September.”
Crimson Moon is a gothic high renaissance action-adventure RPG built around intense, replayable missions. Players take on the role of the Nephilim, ruthless human-angel hybrids forged to defend humanity. They’re immersed in a blood-soaked power fantasy as they battle their way through the besieged city of Gildenarch using combat that blends brutal precision with deep character progression.
The game is built for either solo or co-op play, with solo slayers getting a satisfying single-player experience, and co-op turning every encounter into a “shared onslaught of power and resilience.” Players who are strong and skilled enough to fight through three districts of Gildenarch in a row will face a world boss. These epic foes will test players’ mastery of their abilities. Only by defeating the three world bosses can players face the hellish final boss.
