Moon Studios and Private Division have released the Steam early access launch trailer for No Rest for the Wicked. The game was announced at The Game Awards 2023. The developers described it as a love letter to action RPGs, as well as their attempt to innovate in the genre.
In stark contrast to most action RPGs, combat will be precision-based rather than fast-paced. Players will have to be deliberate and strategic with their moves, almost like in a Soulslike game:
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 play style.
The game world has also been entirely handcrafted with the goal to plunge players in a unique dark fantasy setting.
The year is 841 – King Harol is dead. As word of his death echoes throughout the kingdom, the crown passes to his arrogant, yet untested son Magnus.
Even worse, the Pestilence, an unholy plague not seen for a thousand years, has returned. It sweeps across the land, corrupting everything and everyone 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 wickedness and shape the kingdom’s fate.
No Rest for the Wicked launches in early access on Thursday, April 18. Moon Studios didn't say yet how long the game will stay in this phase. However, we do know that the 1.0 version will include the following additions:

The Fallout craze continues to pay dividends for Bethesda. Earlier this week, the studio announced that Fallout 76 surpassed one million daily players across all platforms for the first time since its launch in late 2018. The multiplayer game is one of the top sellers on Steam (and elsewhere), largely thanks to various promotions and offers that have, however, since ended. On Valve's PC platform, the game reached 73.3K concurrent players last Sunday.
While the long-standing curse of gaming adaptations has been broken for quite a while, the Fallout TV adaptation (just renewed for a second season) stands out from many others not only because of its sheer quality but also because it dared to progress the story further, taking place after the latest games instead of merely adapting existing storylines.

Later, cross-play will be added to the game, probably with the first major post-launch update.
