11 Bit Studios will be teaming up with fellow publisher Merge Games to bring Digital Sun Games' upcoming RPG/shopkeeping simulator that is Moonlighter to retail. The game, which is due out in 'early 2018', mashes up the responsibilities of a shopkeeper by day (including crafting items and interacting with your fellow villagers) and action adventuring by night (travelling through mysterious gates in search of monsters, loot and more).
No word on a price point for the physical version just yet - of if an EU version will be released - but considering developer Digital Sun Games is based in Spain, we can probably make a safe bet that EU shelves won't be left wanting.
Let us know what you make of the Moonlighter news? Does a boxed version of a game make it more attractive? Drop us a comment or two...

welp time to kill my wallet.
I remember thinking this looks interesting, definitely got my eye on it.
This looks beautiful, glad it's coming to Switch!
I've been looking out for this game for a while now. That box-art looks very nice!
This is what I like to see. Physical confirmed prior to digital release. This game was a 'Maybe', now it is a 'Definite'.
Looks good. Cool to see the option for both digital and physical right out the gate (digital for meeee).
Sweet cover art too, woah!
Yes! I really want this game.
I haven't heard of this until just now. Looks pretty good!
Physical releases do make me more likely to buy a game. If buy one and do not like it then I can still resell it for whatever I can get out of it. But I also am old and still cannot bring myself to go fully digital, especially now that a new console has come out that uses cartridges again!
It’s been years I was waiting for a Darkest Dungeon port for a platform I own, on iPhone or XOne, way before Switch came out, and then I bought the Switch and about the end of last year DD was announced for Switch, and I couldn’t wait to grab it.
And then a couple of weeks before the release on the eShop they announced that the physical version of said game would come out, but some time after the digital version release.
So I waited.
I’m still waiting.
Same I did with other indies I’ve been following with so much hype like Owlboy, Riot: Civil Unrest, Flinthook, and Moonlighter of course (and some of these games were already out for other platforms months and even years ago by the way).
I love physical copies of those indie games as a videogame enthusiast, because I personally like to have all my tiny little cartridges or CDs piled up on my shelves, indies and AAA games alike, but waiting for them is a real pain in the arse, especially if I know that are already available and lots of people are already having lots of fun with them, but oh I know if it’s worth the wait.
very excited for this one... I hope it's less that $30 though
Really wanted this game already, and this physical version (not to mention the beautiful box art) is just icing on the cake.
So this is rune factory with a store?
Really love the concept for this
@Fake-E-Lee I have played it at Gamescom, for three hours! The game is hell good and I will for sure preorder it!
Super Beard Bros. were excited to play a build of this on YouTube not too long ago...and it did look interesting. Physical at launch is a definite plus.
ive got a moon for all of you...
This better be better than hometown story
