Austrian developer Moon Studios, known mainly for the Ori franchise, appeared on yesterday's State of Play to announce the 1.0 release date for its top-down action RPG No Rest for the Wicked. The game will launch out of PC early access and debut on PlayStation 5 in October, while Xbox Series S and X and Nintendo Switch 2 versions are also in development, but will be available at a later time. Moon Studios had previously said they might skip Xbox at first due to "market conditions".
No Rest for the Wicked has already received many updates throughout its two-year early access development, including co-op support, but version 1.0 will introduce even more content and features, with the studio promising up to 60 hours of additional gameplay.
- Sprawling New Areas: Explore the full game's 15+ hand-crafted regions filled with secrets, terrifying bosses, and intricate pathways.
- Increased Gameplay Flexibility and Deep Progression: An all-new class and progression system allows players to fine-tune their Cerim warrior to their exact style. Two players using the exact same weapon will play nothing alike.
- Persistent Multiplayer: Players can share their journey in free private realms where the world evolves even when the realm’s original creator is offline.
- Final Story Arc: Politics. Revenge. Passion. The ending players have been theorizing about since 2024, including tons of handcrafted cinematic scenes that will be part of 1.0.
- Endgame Content & Replayability: Players will test their skills in challenging new endgame activities designed for the most dedicated warriors.
- Crossplay & Cross-save: Full Crossplay and Cross-Save between PC and Console at launch.
