UPDATE Dec. 7 @ 8:45 p.m. CT — Hey, guys! Just dropping in here real quick with an update directly from Private Division to yours truly! No Rest for the Wicked is landing on PC in early access sometime in early 2024, and it'll come to Xbox and PlayStation sometime after it leaves early access.
I love the Ori franchise. Ori and the Will of the Wisps is one of my favorite games of all time, and I still get emotional just thinking about it. I've been eagerly waiting for Moon Studios to announce its next project, and that day is finally here. No Rest for the Wicked is a gorgeous, visceral action-RPG that's heading to Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5... Eventually?

The reveal trailer is phenomenally beautiful and I adore this art design (I expected nothing less from Moon Studios), but we still don't know a ton about this upcoming action-RPG. Moon Studios promises that the title will deliver an unexpected twist on the genre, but beyond that we'll have to wait until March 1, 2024 — No, that's not the release date, that's when Moon Studios will begin hosting streams discussing more details about the game. However, you can check out this post on Xbox Wire for some more tantalizing information.
Seems like we'll be waiting a while for this game, but I can be patient for this one. There's no confirmation if No Rest for the Wicked is heading to Xbox Game Pass at launch, but publisher Private Division has placed a lot of games on the service (and Moon Studios obviously has a close relationship with Xbox) so there's a decent chance the title will land on Xbox's best subscription service at launch.
