Are you bored of Stardew Valley? Have you built the perfect village in Animal Crossing and are looking for something a little less mainstream? Well, youโ€™re in luck, because XSEED Games and Little Chicken have the perfect title for you: Moonlight Peaks, a new life simulator game that takes everything you love about cozy gaming, and adds vampires!

The gameโ€™s description is as follows:ย 

Experience life as a vampire in a magical town full of werewolves, witches, mermaids, and more! In this heartwarming, supernatural life-sim, you will raise mystical crops, learn spell-casting and potion-making, and befriend โ€“ or even romance โ€“ the locals. And at the same time, show your skeptical father that a life of compassion is possible โ€“ even for the undead.

Settle down in your familyโ€™s abandoned homestead and make it your own. Build your farm with magic crops and livestock, customize your cottage with gothic style, and make friends with other creatures of the night. Embrace immortality and unlock ancient abilities, all in the name of a more bountiful harvest. Unravel the mysteries of the seven families that inhabit Moonlight Peaks and bring a bit of light back to this spooky settlement. Just remember to be back in your coffin before the sun comes up!

The game has all the standard features of a life sim game like Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley, with a focus on building what XSEED calls your โ€œdream gothic homestead,โ€ raising livestock and enchanted crops, as well as romancing and befriending the locals of the town. But it wouldnโ€™t be a vampire game without a little magic, with the game offering the option to shapeshift to explore the town, as well as learning potions thatโ€™ll help advance your undead skills and build the cutest farm horrorโ€™s ever seen.ย 

Moonlight Peaks will be available on both the Switch and Switch 2 on July 7, 2026. Check out a trailer for the new game above.ย
