Moon Studios Delays 'No Rest for the Wicked' Release to March 2027 for Quality Enhancements
September 1, 2026
Since entering Early Access in 2024, the game added cooperative multiplayer, direct duels, expanded combat options, and has sold over one million copies in Early Access.
The game unfolds in a painterly, isometric world on Isola Sacra, featuring vertical exploration, brutal animation-driven combat, and a dark narrative about a plague-ridden kingdom in upheaval.
Moon Studios is delaying the 1.0 release of No Rest for the Wicked from October 2026 to March 2027 to further polish the game and fix bugs for a higher-quality launch on PC and PlayStation 5.
Founders Pack includes Spirit Cavern, Sayer’s Vow, a custom Founder’s Tag, and access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm.
The next open public test (PTR) is slated for December and will showcase the new class system, serving as the final playtest before launch.
Online co-op multiplayer will support up to four players in a shared world, with the player able to team up with up to three companions.

Creative Director Thomas Mahler likens the work to landing the plane safely while delivering an extraordinary experience for this generation.
Even with the delay, No Rest for the Wicked has already drawn online attention, with around 1.7 million copies sold prior to the delay announcement.
Official channels remain active for beta news and updates, with author bios and related links provided.
