Crimson Moon is a gothic action-adventure RPG for PlayStation 5. Players take the role of a Nephilim, a human-angel hybrid serving the Order of the Crimson Moon, in an effort to reclaim the cursed city of Gildenarch. Official material describes enemies including undead, vampires and the Infernal Legion.

The announced combat features include melee attacks, parries, finishers, angelic arts and transformations. Missions begin from the Sanctus Clypeus hub, where players can prepare a build, forge armor and weapons, and select incursions. The developer also described replayable hunts, boss encounters and new challenges unlocked by clearing districts.

An August 4, 2026 announcement set a September 1 PlayStation 5 launch date. Crimson Moon can be played solo or in two-player online co-op. Hunts scale between one and two players; co-op partners share a life pool and can revive each other.
