Delayed but Unstoppable: No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 Coming in March 2027

No Rest for the Wicked RPG Release Delayed to March 2027

Moon Studios recently announced that the highly anticipated soulslike action RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, will no longer be releasing its 1.0 version in October as originally planned. The release has been pushed back by six months, with the new launch date set for March 2027 on PC and PS5. Details for the Xbox Series XS and Switch 2 versions will be revealed at a later date. The reason cited for the delay is the need for additional time to refine and polish the game to meet the high standards set by the development team. A video message from Moon Studios elaborating on the delay has been made available to the public.

In a statement accompanying the video, Moon Studios expressed, “We have some important news to share with you. The release of No Rest for the Wicked’s 1.0 version has been postponed from October 2026 to March 2027. While we share in your excitement for the October launch, we believe in upholding the quality of our games without compromise. As a small team, we are dedicated to delivering a product that meets our standards. Although we are close to completion, we are committed to ensuring that the game is perfected before its full 1.0 launch.

The additional time will allow us to enhance performance, refine the class system, and polish the overall gameplay to the level of excellence that our community deserves. We prioritize delivering a flawless product over meeting deadlines prematurely. The extended timeline will also involve more closed and open beta tests in the upcoming months, offering our community the opportunity to provide feedback and help shape the final 1.0 build. An open beta test is scheduled for December, with further updates to be communicated via our official social channels. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. In the meantime, here are some key points:

1. Players who purchased No Rest for the Wicked on Steam before January 1st, 2027, will receive founders pack rewards as a token of appreciation for supporting us during Early Access.
2. Pre-orders for PlayStation will commence in January 2027, allowing PlayStation players to earn Founder’s rewards at that time.
3. We are planning a Wicked Inside event for our players in the near future. Stay updated through our social media platforms for more details.

We are grateful for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. Your dedication means the world to us.”

The Founders Pack available to pre-order players includes the Spirit Cavern secret hideout, the Sayer’s Vow sword, a custom founders tag, and access to an exclusive public beta test realm.
