What is happening now

Crimson Moon is an action RPG with Soulslike mechanics that wraps its narrative and progression systems around roguelike design principles. The indie title launched across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, and PC in early September 2026. Coverage so far has identified both strengths and weaknesses in the experience. Reviewers note the game's ambitious structural choices - particularly how it integrates roguelike elements into what would traditionally be a linear narrative - though early assessments suggest the execution still has room for refinement. The core combat and progression loop appears to be where the game's potential lies, even as critics flag areas that need polish.
