Crimson Moon PC Keybinding — Can You Rebind Keys?

Crimson Moon is a hack-and-slash action RPG that expects fast, precise inputs. Losing the ability to remap keys isn't a cosmetic complaint — in our frozen sample of 20 recent negative reviews, 5 of 20 report control-option problems, often tangled up with the 8 of 20 camera/lock-on reports (see Known Issues). This page exists to answer one question plainly and keep it current as the situation changes.

"We've heard the frustration from our PC players around the lack of keybinding and remapping options, and we want to be clear: we're committed to getting a fix into your hands this week. Team Metal is already working on a rapid first implementation of keybinding support. Our priority is to get this functionality to PC players as quickly as possible, so this first version may have some bugs or areas that still need refinement. Rather than make you wait for a more polished implementation, we want to get the initial version out this week and address any issues that arise in a following patch. We'll share an exact date for the update as soon as we have it confirmed."— Team Metal, Steam announcement gid 1842846814438685 (An Update on PC Keybinding), 2026-09-01

"Patch 1.0.0.1 has passed testing and we've decided to put our Alpha implementation of keybinding support into your hands now, rather than make you wait for the full, polished version. The update is available now (version 162350), giving PC players basic keyboard & mouse remapping and mouse sensitivity controls while we continue to refine and expand the feature. IMPORTANT NOTE: this is our first Alpha implementation of keybinding support, not the final, polished experience we intend to deliver. You can find this new feature under the Settings Menu > Keyboard > select the custom keyboard profile (click the left arrow)."— Team Metal, Steam announcement gid 1842846814444060 (Crimson Moon Patch 1.0.0.1), 2026-09-03

Three dated facts: the game shipped on 2026-09-01 without PC key rebinding; on 2026-09-01 the developer committed to getting a fix out during launch week; and on 2026-09-03, Patch 1.0.0.1 deployed the Alpha implementation enabling keyboard and mouse remapping.

Following the release of Patch 1.0.0.1 on 2026-09-03, PC players can now remap default controls by navigating to Settings Menu > Keyboard > Custom profile (select by clicking the left arrow). Steam's own category listing also marks Crimson Moon as "Full controller support." For other unresolved launch defects like progression loss and crashes, see our Known Issues tracker.

crimsonmoons.wiki/tools/controls/ (checked 2026-09-02, self-dated "Last updated: 2026-08-30") tells players: "Rebind before the prologue. The prologue still counts if you die, but it is a bad time to discover that Q is both 'use flask' and 'transform.'" That advice was written before launch and, on this one field, did not match what shipped on 2026-09-01. While Patch 1.0.0.1 has now introduced Alpha rebinding, default binding changes still require entering the custom profile. This check covers only that page's controls field; we have not reviewed the rest of that site.
