Four years after the eye-catching success of Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Moon Studios is back with a brand-new IP, exploring a new vision in a different genre.

Naughty Dog’s Ellie statue has some Last of Us fans confused about whether it looks good or not.

Announced during last year’s The Game Awards showcase, Moon Studios will take you back to the age of sword and steel to the middle of a collapsing empire. Playing as a holy warrior, you are tasked to save your people against an ever-growing plague that corrupts everything and everyone in the blink of an eye. But that’s not where your challenges end, as some people benefit from the chaotic situation in the isle to pursue their long-wished evil purposes and take over the empire to rule over others.

No Rest For The Wicked: Early Access Release Date And Time

No Rest For The Wicked will be released on Thursday, April 18th in Early Access for PC via Steam. The release time is set for 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET / 5 PM BST / 6PM CEST, according to a blog post on the game’s official Steam page. Since there is no pre-order available for the game, you will not be able to pre-load the data beforehand.

While the Early Access version will only be released on PC, the final version will launch on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at a currently unconfirmed date.

No Rest For The Wicked Roadmap

While the developers have not estimated how long it would take to release the final version of No Rest For The Wicked, we do have some information on the game’s roadmap. When launching in Early Access, players will be able to explore the first chapter of the story, while having access to a replayable dungeon and an abundance of weapons, gears, and items to try out multiple builds. The game will also receive daily and weekly challenges to keep players engaged.

When the first major update arrives, a multiplayer PvP mode will be added for players to test their combat skills against each other. The following updates will focus on expanding the number of available regions, adding a new Farming feature, and letting players explore more story chapters.

From a gameplay standpoint, No Rest For The Wicked ditches Ori’s 2.5D perspective for a full 3D top-down point of view, featuring some deep RPG elements that allow players to hunt for items, craft their own gear, and upgrade their belongings to discover meta builds.

The combat system in No Rest For The Wicked is where the developer focuses the most. Described as a Precision Action RPG, the developers are eager to let you feel the weight of your weapons and the brutality of your enemies when engaging in fights.
