Prepare for brutal combat with No Rest for the Wicked
Private Division and developer Moon Studios have announced No Rest for the Wicked, an action rpg from the folks that made the Ori games. Which as you can see in the trailer below features another incredible visual style so check it out.
The game is set to release on PC first via Early Access in the first 3 months of next year, but will get a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S release once the game is done. More details are going to be released via a new show that will kick off on March 1st called Wicked Inside, so that likely means the Early Access won’t happen until then at least.
No Rest for the Wicked introduces a hand-crafted world, rich in details and with an inimitable, “painting” art style. Players explore an intricate and vast island called Isola Sacra that allows them to experience verticality in a way that is unmatched in other ARPGs with spelunking depths of crypts, lush forests, and treacherous mountain passes. Each location is home to complex protagonists with their own problems, hidden treasures, ferocious creatures, and secrets to discover.
“We have been dreaming of being able to contribute to the ARPG genre that we all grew up with and love. After the success of Ori, it was clear to us that Moon was now mature enough to finally realize those dreams. We can’t wait to see how players will react to this entirely new take on the genre!”
If the ARPG genre doesn’t sound familiar to you, think Diablo and you are there. The game has been in development for six years, though for some of those years it was a bit of a background project while the studio got Ori and the Will of the Wisps out the door.
There is no firm release date for the game, but it is coming to PC, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 once it officially is done.
