Crimson Moon Wiki: Release Date, Price & Guides

Crimson Moon is an upcoming action RPG from ProbablyMonsters, releasing on Steam on September 1, 2026, and also announced for the Epic Games Store, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S — though only Steam has a date. You play a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid, fighting through the fallen city of Gildenarch against demons, undead and other abominations.

Combat is visceral and melee-focused, with executions, supernatural powers and an angelic transformation ability. It's tagged Action RPG, Souls-like, Roguelike and Hack and Slash on Steam, and supports solo play and online co-op.

It's not open-world or live-service — one-time purchase, built around replayable districts called wards, each holding missions, elite encounters and a boss. Between attempts you return to Sanctus Clypeus, the sanctuary that serves as your hub.

This site is an independent, fan-made reference. It tracks what's officially confirmed and marks what ProbablyMonsters hasn't said, rather than guessing.

Crimson Moon has no character classes. You are a Nephilim, and what you actually are in any given hunt comes down to the build you assemble — which means the opening decision is not "which class," it is "what am I trying to do this run."

A build is four things working together:

• Gear — 9 slots in total: 4 armor pieces, 2 trinkets, and either a one-handed weapon with a shield or a two-handed weapon.
• Weapon arts — abilities carried by the weapon itself, each on its own cooldown. Your weapon choice decides which ones you have.
• Boons — modifiers that come from equipment you wear, from Nexus gates you pass mid-run, and from lore scrolls you return.
• Angel — picked before the hunt starts, and the piece that ties the rest together.

The developer's own advice is that the strongest builds come from parts that complement each other, not from equipping whatever has the highest rarity.

Structurally, a hunt runs through a ward of Gildenarch — missions, elite encounters, mini bosses and secrets, with a boss at the end — and you return to Sanctus Clypeus between attempts to spend what you kept.

What "what you kept" means is the other half of the game. A run is carried by a life pool rather than a single life: dying spends from it and you keep going, but once it is empty the run ends and anything you were carrying unpurified is gone. Purifying gear is what makes it permanent, so it joins your collection and can be equipped from the start of any later hunt. Higher difficulty levels raise the rarity of what drops, which is the mechanism that makes harder runs worth attempting.

Back in the hub, four allies handle the between-run economy: Gallant gives out bounty quests, Mereda trades lore scrolls and souls for boons and blessings, Lotte sells trinkets, throwables and consumables, and Gajov upgrades the rarity of gear you already own. Missions are selected at the War Table; gear, consumables and your Angel are set at the Loadout Station.

None of this has been verified against the shipped game yet. For the full breakdown of what is confirmed and what is still marketing copy, see the gameplay preview; for what each term means, see the glossary.
