Moon Studios – the developer behind beloved Metroidvania games Ori and the Blind Forest and Will of the Wisps – is gearing up to launch its next game, action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, into early access. Ahead of that, its director has clarified that there'll be no microtransactions included in the upcoming title at all, and definitely no expensive skins to buy for horses.
In case you missed it, Blizzard Entertainment was heavily criticized last month when a pricey new Diablo 4 bundle entered the game's shop. Priced at $64.99 – almost the same price as the full game when it's not on sale – the bundle includes a sparkly, crystallized horse along with matching armor and some mount trophies (cosmetics to equip). It also comes with 7,000 Platinum (in-game currency), which is almost certainly what makes this pack so pricey, since 5,700 Platinum sold separately costs $49.99. Even so, this bundle is the only way to grab the special horse, which is a rather large shame for anyone who wants to ride off into the sunset on a gem-bedecked steed without making a significant dent in their wallet.
