From Moon Studios, the award-winning developers of Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps comes No Rest for the Wicked, a visceral, precision Action RPG set in a stunning, hand-crafted world. Discover enchanting lands and frightening dungeons as you explore a world filled with enemies and bosses who will challenge you to be strategic and hone your fighting skills. With multiple difficulty options, you can shape the journey to match your playstyle, whether you're here for the story or the the immersive combat. Collect resources, cook meals, upgrade your gear, and build your custom home, all while a living, teeming world evolves around you.   The year is 841 TE. King Harol is dead. Even worse, the Pestilence, an unholy plague not seen for a thousand years, has returned. It sweeps across the land, corrupting everything it touches. Madrigal Seline, a ruthlessly ambitious figure in the church, sees the Pestilence as a chance to prove herself in the eyes of her god. These forces converge on the backwater Isola Sacra, where rebel groups and the provincial government fight for control amid the isle’s crumbling ruins.   You are a Cerim – a member of a group of mystical holy warriors imbued with remarkable powers and sworn to defeat the Pestilence at any cost. But the task will prove increasingly challenging as you become entangled in the people’s plight and the vast political struggle of this downtrodden land. Chaos will pull you in every direction as you seek to cleanse the land of the plague and shape the kingdom’s fate. Hone combat skills with a system that challenges you to be deliberate and strategic. Battle against gruesome creatures, enemy soldiers, and punishing bosses in tense, visceral combat. Feel the weight and speed of each weapon through their own move sets. Enchant armaments with runes, craft rare armor, and create bespoke character builds that fit your playstyle. Prepare for an intense combat experience where every enemy encounter can feel like an epic duel.  Create your own safe haven in the town of Sacrament – purchase property and decorate it to make it your own. Harvest timber, ore, and other resources to build up your equipment and help restore the city to its former glory. Fish on the shores and collect food to create meals that replenish your health during combat and boost your stats. And acquaint yourself with the diverse array of vendors and townsfolk who can sell you supplies and help shape your journey. Discover a mature, dark narrative on the harsh shores of Isola Sacra. Cunning rulers and ferocious rebels vie for power – all while an ancient plague sweeps across the land, turning its inhabitants into monstrous versions of themselves. In No Rest For the Wicked you enter a living world, teeming with characters, where the passage of time can bring new events and challenges, or even unlock different vendors and upgrades. Explore a painting come to life – meticulously built with an incredible attention to detail in a unique, ageless art style. Beauty radiates in every frame, from the dappled sunlight of the Lowland Meadows to the twisted shadows of the Nameless Pass. Each new location is home to its own people, problems, treasures, and secrets to unearth. Take respite in the town of Sacrament – purchase property and decorate it to make it your own. Fish on the shores, till and harvest the land for ingredients to create meals that replenish health and boost stats. Acquaint yourself with the diverse array of vendors and townsfolk and restore Sacrament to its former glory. Coming in early 2026!  Share your world and progress with up to three friends in the campaign’s online co-op mode. Every quest, boss, and square foot of Isola Sacra is theirs to share with you…or they can simply venture off and do as they please.
