No Rest for the Wicked, which was slated to hit 1.0 a month before Grand Theft Auto 6, is delayed into 2027

Moon Studios has announced that its upcoming action RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, will be delayed and will not reach its October 1.0 release as originally planned. Instead, the game is now set to launch in March 2027 following an open beta test that is currently slated for December. The studio's statement clarifies that the decision to push the release date is not due to the imminent release of Grand Theft Auto 6, which is due in November, and that no mention of GTA 6 was made in the announcement.

Moon Studios, a small team, insists on maintaining a high standard for their games and believes that taking a few more months will ensure the final product meets their expectations. The extra time will be used to improve performance, refine the class system, and polish the game overall. The studio plans to conduct additional closed and open beta tests in the coming months, allowing the community to provide feedback and help shape the final 1.0 build.

Notably, No Rest for the Wicked launched into early access on Steam over two years ago in April 2024, and has since garnered nearly 65,000 user reviews and sold more than a million copies. Moon Studios' chief, Thomas Mahler, had previously warned that the game's price would be increased from $40 to $60 once the 1.0 release is launched.
