Moon Studios has confirmed that No Rest for the Wicked’s 1.0 launch has been moved from October this year to March 2027. The news came directly from the development team on Twitter

No Rest for the Wicked is an action role-playing game that is currently in Early Access on Steam. Despite being in Early Access for two years, the game has managed to captivate players worldwide. In February, the team celebrated selling 1.5 million copies.

Earlier this summer, the team announced they were delaying the release for Xbox consoles due to quality concerns about launching on the Series S Model. Now, they have decided to delay the overall release and explain why on social media.

In their tweet, they say that while they are close, they want extra time to ensure the game’s performance and the class system are polished. They also say the extra time means more beta tests will come to the community.

THE HONEST TRUTH IS THAT WE’RE A SMALL TEAM, AND WE’RE HOLDING OUR GAMES TO A STANDARD WE WON’T COMPROMISE ON. WE’RE CLOSE, BUT CLOSE ISN’T
GOOD ENOUGH FOR OUR FULL 1.0 LAUNCH. THE EXTRA TIME WILL HELP US IMPROVE PERFORMANCE, TIGHTEN THE CLASS SYSTEM, AND POLISH THE WHOLE GAME
TO THE STANDARD YOU ALL DESERVE. WE’D RATHER TAKE A FEW MORE MONTHS THAN SHIP SOMETHING THAT WE KNOW ISN’T QUITE PERFECT YET.

While there is no official release date, they have confirmed that PlayStation pre-orders will begin in January. Also, anyone who has purchased the game on Steam before 2027 will receive Founders Pack rewards as a thank-you bonus.

Moon Studios was known prior to the release of this ARPG for the Ori series. Recently, the Ori director commented on the Ori 3 rumors.
