Developer Bombservice and publisher PLAYISM have announced that Momodora: Moonlit Farewell will be launching on the Nintendo Switch eShop on 6th February 2025.
Serving as a sequel to the excellent Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight (which we awarded a coveted score of 9/10), Moonlit Farewell carries over the same stunning pixel-art visuals and fast-paced metroidvania action teeming with awesome boss fights.
PLAYISM is setting this new game up as a conclusion to the Momodora story, so if you've been invested so far, then you might want to grab this one and see how everything comes together. As for us? Well, we just want to get rid of that giant spider boss in the trailer – what a horrible-looking thing!
"A bell ringing in the distance heralds demonic infestation. As Priestess Momo, follow the bell’s call across decrepit dungeons, lush springs, and crumbling cities. Battle legions of possessed creatures threatening the safety of Momo’s village.
"Combine short and long-ranged attacks with a customizable “Sigil” upgrade system, and challenge custom playstyles in the newly added Boss Rush mode."

Should play the previous Momodora first and foremost and even more so considering I already have it but still, this looks great so I'm definitely interested in giving it a try when I can!
Getting to the point where it feels each time I exhale there's another metroidvania releasing. Not complaining, especially when they come with such respect for certain... qualities, just struggling to keep up 🥵
Pretty tempting price for a pre-order via SA eshop too. Haven't actually played Reverie yet, but that's not the sort of detail to hold me back...
I wonder if the genre is starting to get a little saturated. I really like metroidvanias but, only on Switch there are at least 2 or 3 released per month, I can't buy them all. But not only the money, I also lack the time to play with them
Momodora has always been good, gonna check this one out
I played this one on Steam. I remember i didn't like it as much as Reverie.
One of my favourite aspects of Reverie was how, if you managed to kill a boss without taking damage, you'd get a unique item as a reward. This aspect was not carried over to Moonlit Farewell, which was a bit disappointing for me.
But aside from that, Moonlit Farewell tried to nerf the bow and arrow, which was pretty OP in Reverie, but it went a bit overboard and I find the bow really annoying to use now. It uses up stamina to fire the bow.
I dunno. The game is good. It's really pretty, and the action feels nice, but as a followup to Reverie it falls short in my eyes.
Maybe this is a bit harsh. The game is good. Give it a try if it looks nice for you.
The last game was way too short and really easy. I think I'll probably pass on this one
Love the original (only played it for a bit so need to get back into it), so definitely going to grab this one if a physical comes out. Hopefully this time Limited Run will not publish it but I will still get it under duress
Looks pretty good!! Plus, I do like boobs.
I opened it like "Ooooh I new metroidvania I uhhhhhhhhh....
what was I doing?"
I might just get all the games at this point, if they're on sale.
I’ve literally searched this one every day this year on my phone since it’s year anniversary on Steam! I’m so excited for this one! Momodora and Minoria are two of the absolutely most underrated indies, love Bombservice.
Think I heard something that their games might have been building up to this 1. I don't know if I should play those first or just skip to here.

Starting to??
I only played Reverie under the Moonlight briefly (backlog too large), and was pretty impressed, I'd like to get back to it.
So naturally I've some interest in this too.
What do you know though that LRG has already announced a physical for this? Open pre-orders for a month as of today.
I'll definitely grab a copy to go with my Reverie physical.
This looks great. How did I miss the original one?
Played this on Steam. It's pretty fun. Not terribly long or challenging, but enjoyable through and through. I liked how you can be a little creative with how you build your play style with the sigils.
Momodora Reverie under the Moonlight is Amazing, played it 4 times. I can't wait for this one.
@Bunkerneath It’s a Limited Run release, up for pre-order now:

@RupeeClock I really dislike LRG, but I really want to support this developers as much as possible, thanks for the info, I didn't know that.
Yeah, I'll always double dip for Momo.
I bought the previous game on switch, so I guess I'll buy this one too 😃
Looks interesting. Hopefully the review will help me to decide whether to buy, and whether I should start with earlier installments in the series.
