Crimson Moon is out — released 1 September 2026: the launch record
Crimson Moon releases on
1 September 2026
The exact unlock time has not been announced. The countdown above runs to midnight where you are, which is the earliest the date can start for you — not a confirmed unlock moment. We update this page as soon as the publisher or the store page states a time.
1 September 2026 is the publisher's own date, from ProbablyMonsters' press release of 4 August. No unlock hour has been published for any platform, so this countdown runs to midnight in your timezone and flags the time as unconfirmed rather than inventing one. The moment the store pages or the publisher post an hour, this page switches to it.

$19.99, two-player co-op, demons, and a date six days out. Crimson Moon is ProbablyMonsters’ hellish action RPG — you play a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid, fighting solo or with one friend through replayable missions of melee combat and brutal bosses. The studio’s own pitch leans on the price: this fall’s cheapest way into a soulslike-adjacent co-op game.

What to expect from launch week
A $20 co-op action game launching into the busiest week of September — alongside Endfield 1.5 the next day — tends to live or die on first-weekend word of mouth. We cover launches the same way every time: if update errors, connection faults or platform-specific failures show up in week one, the fix pages land here fast. Until then, the honest state of this page is: date and price official, hour unknown, and nothing about performance or server load knowable before players are in.

Sources
The 1 September date, both edition prices and the Deluxe contents are from ProbablyMonsters’ own press release of 4 August 2026; the two-player co-op, the Nephilim premise and the mission structure are from the official Steam page. Gematsu and Game Informer carried the announcement; they are listed as press coverage, not as the source of any number here. The Steam data API lists only Windows for this appid — the PS5 and Xbox versions exist in the press release and store announcements, which is why this page does not call the game PC-only. The 25 August 2026 check found no unlock hour, preload, crossplay or subscription information in those sources; those items remained unconfirmed in that check.
FAQ
When does Crimson Moon come out?
1 September 2026 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S — the publisher's own date, from ProbablyMonsters' press release of 4 August. No unlock hour has been published for any platform; when one posts, this page carries it.
How much does Crimson Moon cost?
$19.99 for the Standard Edition. The $29.99 Deluxe Edition adds a post-launch expansion, the Ceremonial Armor Set DLC and the Axe of the Gods weapon DLC — no advance access, so both editions start the same day.
Is Crimson Moon co-op?
Yes — two-player co-op or solo, per the official Steam page. Missions are built to be replayed either way. Whether co-op is cross-platform has not been announced; we print the answer when one exists.
Is Crimson Moon a soulslike?
The publisher's own framing: soulslike tenets applied to a run-based action RPG built around replayable missions rather than one connected world — relentless melee combat, brutal bosses, played solo or in two-player co-op. You play a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid, cutting through demons.
Is Crimson Moon on Game Pass?
The 25 August 2026 check found no Game Pass or subscription announcement — the announced way to play was buying it on Steam, PS5 or Xbox Series X|S at $19.99.
