## Summary

ProbablyMonsters has confirmed that its gothic action RPG Crimson Moon will launch on 1 September for PS5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X, alongside pricing details and the reveal of the musicians behind its heavy metal soundtrack. Composer Chris Wilson and music manager Steve Pardo led the score's creation in collaboration with the band Health, guitarist and YouTuber Jared Dines, Periphery's Misha Mansoor, and Ice Nine Kills' Ricky Armellino, tying the music directly to the game's metal-inspired identity.

The game casts players as a Nephilim battling demons, undead and vampires through the fallen city of Gildenarch, in a style visually reminiscent of Dark Souls and Elden Ring but built as a shorter, focused adventure rather than a sprawling open world. It is structured around replayable district missions interspersed with return trips to the base Sanctus Clypeus to upgrade gear and interact with characters including a mentor, historian, treasure hunter and blacksmith. Crimson Moon will cost $19.99, with a $29.99 Deluxe Edition adding cosmetic armour and weapon items.
