News: A new action RPG is heading to Nintendo’s portable platform where you have to manage a bustling shop while diving into dungeons.

Moonlighter is headed to the Nintendo Switch in November according to 11 Bit Studios. Moonlighter is an action RPG with rogue-lite elements that shines a light on the daily adventures of Will, a devoted shopkeeper who secretly dreams of becoming a hero. While the exact launch date has not been confirmed, fans can expect Moonlighter to arrive in retail stores and on the Nintendo Switch eShop this November.

Moonlighter’s story dates back to an age of archaeological excavation where a set of mysterious Gates were uncovered by intrepid pioneers. Folks quickly realized that these ancient passages lead to different realms and dimensions – providing brave and reckless adventurers with treasures beyond measure. Rynoka, a small commercial village, was founded near the excavation site to provide refuge for adventurers and a marketplace to sell their hard-earned plunders.

Some of the features include:

Manage a bustling shop in the heart of the commercial village of Rynoka - Catch shoplifters, control the price of goods, and hire staff to assist while you gather materials.

Dive into the dungeons of Rynoka - Take on themed dungeons as you hunt for goods to sell in your shop. Each dungeon gets progressively harder as they are unlocked and are guarded by ancient golems who stand sentry against looters.

Upgrade your weapons and armor or brew potions by gathering components in perilous dungeons.

Patches are planned that will keep Moonlighter fresh as you work towards growing the village of Rynoka and ensuring it prospers by attracting new adventurers to its gates.
