Moon Studios has announced that their Soulslike action RPG No Rest for the Wicked will exit Early Access and get a 1.0 launch in October, across PC and PS5. Xbox and Switch 2 versions of the game will follow at a later date.
The 1.0 release will, as you would hope and expect, be a major expansion of the game, and promises to add over 60 hours of new content, a new horde mode, new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a revamped class system.
Here’s the breakdown from Moon Studios:
- 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 hand crafted cinematic scenes will be part of 1.0 and it is worth every hour players have put into the Sacra.
- 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.
Following its stint in Early Access, Moon Studios will offer existing players before 10th July on PC – it’s currently 30% off at $40 and will rise to $60 in time for launch – and those who pre-order in general on PS5, a bundle of extras, as follows:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.
- Sayer’s Vow: An all new Sword in the stone reserved just for the founders that only early adopters can extract in the game world.
- A Custom Founders Tag ensures players are clearly identified as early adopters.
- As a Founder member, players will get access to an exclusive Public Beta Test Realm reserved just for them, even after the 1.0 game launch.
The game is an ambitious one for Moon Studios, who took over game publishing after Private Division was folded last year. Since then they’ve added online co-op with persistent realms, adapted enemy AI to handle this, overhauled items and enchantments, and more.
