No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 delayed to March 2027

Moon Studios has pushed No Rest for the Wicked's 1.0 launch from October 2025 to March 2027. Creative director Thomas Mahler explained the delay in a video update, saying the game is "not quite there yet" after extensive playtesting.

The team wants more time to polish gameplay performance and the class system, along with general improvements across the board. A final closed beta is planned for December — the last one before launch — so players can stress-test the current build and feed back before the March release. Moon Studios is also extending the Founder's Pack deadline: Early Access players originally had until July 1 to grab the bundle of special in-game items, but that window now stays open until January 1, 2027. PS5 players will be able to pick up the Founder's Pack when console pre-orders open in January.

No Rest for the Wicked is Moon Studios' follow-up to the Ori series — a sharp pivot from precision platformers into a dark fantasy action RPG that blends Diablo-style loot and combat with Dark Souls-influenced difficulty and a town-building layer. The game was revealed at The Game Awards 2023 and hit PC Early Access in April 2024. It supports solo play or co-op with up to three others in a shared world instance.

At launch in March, No Rest for the Wicked will be available on PS5 and PC. Xbox Series X/S and Switch 2 versions are confirmed but don't have a release date yet.
