Moon Studios delays No Rest for the Wicked to March 2027 – "We're holding our games to a standard we won't compromise on"

Moon Studios has pushed back the release date of their upcoming action RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, to March 2027. The game, which was initially set for a October 2026 launch and went into early access in April 2024, has reportedly sold two million copies as of July 2026. Moon Studios' founder, Thomas Mahler, stated that while the game is near completion, they are not satisfied with the progress so far.

The studio emphasizes that they are a small team and are holding their games to a high standard they won't compromise on. The additional time will allow them to enhance performance, refine the class system, and polish the game to the standard players deserve. Moon Studios will conduct more closed and open beta tests in the coming months, giving the community a chance to shape the final 1.0 build.

An open beta test is scheduled for December. Those who purchase the game before January 1, 2027, will receive Founders Pack Rewards for supporting the game during early access. PlayStation pre-orders will commence in January 2027, enabling players on that platform to earn the rewards as well. Mahler noted that the team has been working tirelessly on the game since its first prototypes in 2016, and they are taking the extra time to ensure a bug-free launch and deliver a truly exceptional gaming experience.
