Watch the Announcement trailer here: The Journey Beyond Early Access

Two years ago, we launched No Rest for the Wicked into Early Access with a simple goal:

Build the souls-like action RPG we always wanted to play, not a clone but something more raw, tactile and alive. Since then, over 1.8 million players helped us shape Wicked into something far bigger than we ever imagined.

And now, we are thrilled to announce that the wait for the full 1.0 release is nearly over!!!

Official 1.0 Launch: October, 2026 This October, No Rest for the Wicked leaves Early Access behind and launches in full on PC and PlayStation 5.

What to Expect in Version 1.0

The full 1.0 release is a massive expansion of the core experience, offering around a hundred hours of content for both solo players and multiplayer lovers. It introduces staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, new powerful weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.   

• Sprawling New Areas: Explore the full game's 15+ hand-crafted regions filled with secrets, terrifying bosses, and intricate pathways.

• Increased gameplay flexibility and Deep Progression: An all-new class and progression system allows you to fine-tune your Cerim warrior to your exact playstyle - Two players using the exact same weapon will play nothing alike. This flexibility is a design philosophy we have fought hard for.

• Persistent Multiplayer: Share your journey in free private realms where the world evolves even when you are offline.

• Final Story Arc: Politics. Revenge. Passion. The ending you have been theorizing about since 2024, including tons of hand crafted cinematic scenes will be part of 1.0 and it is worth every hour you have put into the Sacra.

• Endgame Content & Replayability: Test your skills in challenging new endgame activities designed for the most dedicated warriors.

• Crossplay & Cross-save: Full Crossplay and Cross-Save between PC and Console at launch!

All New Early Access Founders Pack The journey to 1.0 would not have been possible without the incredible support of our Early Access community.

As a thank you to everyone who joins us before July 10th, 2026, all purchases made during Early Access will be upgraded to the exclusive Founders Pack at no additional cost.

These rewards will become available when Version 1.0 launches:

• Spirit Cavern : Moon Studios' legacy now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked. Founders will receive access to an exclusive hand-crafted hideout that bridges worlds and serves as a unique home within Isola Sacra.

• Sayer's Vow: A one of a kind, mysterious sword that was once lost to time and can only be obtained by Founders.

• Founder's Tag: Upgrade to a Founder's tag with a special frame and font, that boasts that you were part of Wicked's journey before 1.0.

• Founders Test Realm: Founders will gain access to beta tests, giving them an opportunity to help shape future updates before they arrive for everyone else, including before and after launch.

Purchase No Rest for the Wicked before July 10th, 2026, and your place in the founding era of Wicked will be remembered forever. PlayStation 5 users will receive the Early Access Founder's Pack rewards by pre-ordering the game any time between the start of pre-orders and launch day. We can't wait to see you in Sacra! ♥️ Team Moon Studios

🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 9

Hey folks,

There were a few people affected by save rollbacks from prior changes. We’re including fixes that will address the two cases that were found to restore players’ saves that got rolled back.

Two years of No Rest for the Wicked, and we saved something for this moment. The official No Rest for the Wicked Early Access soundtrack by Gareth Coker is now on Steam for $5.99 ❤️ To everyone who's been here since the beginning, this one's for you. The game's also 30% off. Enjoy!

Check out the No Rest for the Wicked Anniversary Edition

Wicked fans,

It's been TWO YEARS since No Rest for the Wicked entered Early Access. Since then, this game has grown and evolved in ways we could only pull off because of you.

1.7 million copies sold, and counting. You’ve supported us, challenged us, and pushed us to do better. That’s exactly how we like it.

We’re hard at work toward 1.0. And console players, we haven’t forgotten you.

No big speeches today. Just this: we’re building something special here, and we’re not slowing down.

Two years of celebrating you in all the Wicked ways! Thanks for being part of it.

Moon Studios ❤️

Hey folks,

Online mode will be returning momentarily.

One important note! If you get a save conflict between local and online for Online/Shared realms, make sure to select online. This grabs the latest from our server with the maintenance applied.

Thank you for your patience while we resolved this! Don't forget to checkout the Hotfix 8 Patch Notes:

Hey folks,

We're going to be re-running the maintenance we did earlier as there was a problem with it the first time. Please expect online mode to be unavailable for about 1h.

Sorry for the inconvenience on this!

UPDATE

The maintenance is taking longer than expected, but we will update as soon as its complete. Thank you for your patience!

We will keep you posted as we learn more!

🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 6

We know why you are here. It's for another hotfix and we got you. 

We’ve heard from you about the endgame loop getting stalled after all areas are cleansed, so we’ve updated it so that cleansing areas will reduce the cooldown of other areas which allows you to keep the loop going by infecting and cleansing. 

In addition, there are some improvements to prologue flow, performance and bug fixes.

🛠️ Early Access Patch Notes - Together Hotfix 3

Hey folks,

As promised, we’ve done a big pass over Keyboard and Mouse Layouts and Rebinding! Layouts have been adjusted to be more comfortable for a variety of playstyles and we’ve fixed a list of issues that were making KBM harder to play on.

We do have plans to do more in the future such as freely binding more than one binding to the same key.

We’d love to hear your feedback on how KBM feels now and if it feels better to play!

🛠️ Vendors:

• Added Sell menu to Seneschal in Crucible

🛠️ Input:

• Updated keyboard and mouse layouts and renamed them. Also added better descriptions.

  • Combined Movement

    • The default scheme

    • Combines WASD for general movement and Mouse for finer movement on thin platforms

    • Recommended for most builds and builds with shields

  • Combined + Rune Selection

    • Allows you to preselect the rune you want to cast and more easily cast it with M2

    • Combines WASD for general movement and Mouse for finer movement on thin platforms

    • Recommended for builds with wands and staves

  • Mouse Movement

    • Move using only the Mouse

    • Recommended for builds with bows

  • Changed default KBM keybinds on Combined layouts

    • Run = SHIFT

    • Parry = MMB

    • Utility runes = ALT

    • Move to cursor = CTRL

  • Added keybinds for utility runes, default to 5-8

• Added tutorial for Move to Cursor. Default on CTRL on Combined layouts and M2 on Mouse only layout.

• Run is now default separate from Dodge, but can be rebound to the same binding

• Hard Lock Improvements

  • Engaging hardlock no longer requires you to hold the binding

  • Can now switch targets again by pressing the binding and pointing the cursor near the enemy you want to target

  • Improved scroll wheel changes enemies

• Fixed certain actions having an extra binding hardcoded such as Parry

• Added setting "Run to cursor" - Enabled by default. When disabled, it prevents running and dodging to the cursor, requiring WASD movement.

• Added ability to close Inventory and Journal screens by pressing the same button that opens them (I and J by default)

• Toggle Runes binding is set to None by default and is now allowed to not be bound

🛠️ Audio:

• Added SFX to Danos’ menu to the 5 second progress bar when completing a project

🛠️ Bug Fixes:

• Fixed Deserters loading in too early in Faith and Flame quest and blocking players if you kill them early

• Fixed keyboard and mouse rebindings not saving sometimes

• Fixed 2nd exact cost material displaying Husk instead of Marrow

• Fixed Facets not being visible on vendor screens

• Fixed bug where altitude indicators on bounty targets were not showing

• Fixed some hair stretching across the screen
