No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 Launch Delayed to March 2027
No Rest for the Wicked developer Moon Studios has delayed the game's long-awaited 1.0 launch until March 2027.
Moon Studios has announced a delay for No Rest for the Wicked's highly anticipated 1.0 launch, pushing it back to March 2027. The game, an action RPG, initially made its debut on PC via early access in April 2024. The decision comes after an extended development period, with the studio emphasizing their commitment to delivering a polished final product.
The delay is intended to enhance gameplay performance, refine the class system, and further polish the game. Moon Studios' founder, Thomas Mahler, revealed in a video that the project, in development since 2016, required extra time to ensure a bug-free launch. The delay affects the Xbox Series X/S version, while PlayStation 5 and PC versions, along with Nintendo Switch 2, will still be released. However, the software will still be available on those platforms.
In a show of appreciation for player patience, the Founders Pack, offering extra in-game items, has been extended for those who purchase the game before January 1, 2027. This offer is now retroactive for recent purchases. Mahler also apologized for the delay, stating it's a significant passion project for the studio. He hopes that the delay will ensure a safer launch without any remaining bugs.
