One thing we’re not lacking on the market is an abundance of really good hack ‘n slash action RPGs and it looks like Moon Studios will be joining the fray with No Rest for the Wicked. Announced at The Game Awards 2023, we'll get more details on the game on March 1, 2024, at a dedicated showcase.

You can watch the action-packed announcement trailer for the game below:

Moon Studios is the developer behind the stunningly beautiful Ori and the Blind Forest as well as Ori and the Will of the Wisps, the two Metroidvania platformers published by Microsoft.

No Rest for the Wicked looks to be a completely new challenge for the studio compared to its previous games and is being published by Private Division, one of Take-Two’s labels. First rumors around the upcoming action RPG sprung up in 2019 when job advertisements for positions at the studio were spotted that mentioned the genre.
