Acclaimed Hollow Knight Composer Brings Adventurous Tone to Moonlighter 2
Christopher Larkin Scores the Vault!
Warsaw, Poland, August 28th, 2025 - A great adventure enchants every sense, and that’s why 11 bit studios and Digital Sun Games are excited to announce that acclaimed composer, Christopher Larkin (Hollow Knight), is composing the music for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault. Larkin is providing the soundtrack to all the treasure hunting, sword fighting, and merchant fun of Moonlighter 2, crafting a journey that will leave you humming melodies under your breath for a long time to come.
Countless Hollow Knight fans already love Larkin’s work, and he now turns his talent to the vibrant world of Moonlighter 2. A successor to the indie gem from 2018, this sequel continues to combine heart-pounding dungeon crawling with the delightful rhythm of shopkeeping, now set against a refreshed musical backdrop. Larkin’s approach to Moonlighter 2 leans into warmth and whimsy, channeling a more cheerful and colorful tone that fits perfectly with the game’s lively world and its cast.
“Moonlighter 2’s soundtrack is adventurous - just like Will’s journey. From folk to electronic soundscapes to industrial metal, the music mirrors the unfamiliar, ever-shifting world he explores. Digital Sun encouraged me to go beyond the first game’s stylistic scope, and that freedom shaped a score full of surprises”, said Christopher Larkin.
“Working with Christopher on Moonlighter 2 has been a truly rewarding journey. Building on the legacy of his iconic Hollow Knight score, he’s composed music that breathes soul into Tresna and every dimension beyond. Striking a balance between his vision and our world took close creative collaboration - and that connection has been key to crafting an experience that feels cohesive, rich, and deeply immersive”, states Victor Ribera, a Creative Co-Director at Digital Sun Games.
Moonlighter 2 offers adventure that is bigger, bolder, and brighter in every sense. Featuring lush 3D visuals that retain the charm of the original, new strategic inventory mechanics, expanded shop customization, and a trove of new weapons and merchant upgrades, Moonlighter 2 turns every treasure hunt into a tale worth telling.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is currently in development at Digital Sun Games and will launch on PC and consoles - Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5, with Game Pass availability on day one.
