To celebrate its second launch week anniversary, Moon Studios releases its first Early Access patch for No Rest for the Wicked, a massive update that addresses performance concerns, bug fixes, quality of life updates, and much more. It has been a busy couple of weeks for Moon Studios, after launching its ARPG title in Early Access on Steam. The release of No Rest For the Wicked wasn't as smooth as many had hoped, however, with various issues both on the technical side and certain gameplay mechanics as well.
Underrated Survival Game To Leave Early Access After Over 10 Years
23.04.2024 - 06:33 / gamerant.com / Daniel Morris
After over a decade in development, survival game 7 Days to Die has announced that it is finally set to leave Early Access. 7 Days to Die has become a staple of the survival game genre, and many might even be unaware that it is still technically an Early Access game.
When 7 Days to Die was first released at the end of 2013, it launched into a saturated genre. Early Access open-world survival games were extremely common, fueled by the success of games such as DayZ and Rust. Initially, the critical reception to 7 Days to Die was extremely frosty, but the game found a strong audience regardless. In the years since, developer The Fun Pimps has remained committed to the game, bringing frequent content updates to 7 Days to Die over the last decade. Finally, the developer feels the time is right to shed the Early Access label and release a 1.0 version of 7 Days to Die.
In a video announcing the changes on YouTube, The Fun Pimps' co-founder Richard Huenink confirmed that a full stable 1.0 release for 7 Days to Die can be expected in June for the PC version of the game. All updates previously announced for the game will be coming in the form of free content updates, with a roadmap confirmed until Q4 2025. As 7 Days to Die moves into a full release, the price of the game is also increasing, although from April 22, the game will be hosting a 76% off last-chance sale until April 29, giving players one last chance to grab the game at its lower price point. 7 Days to Die is also leaving Xbox Game Pass on April 30, so this will be the best period to grab the game at a low price for a while.
The announcement even came with some great news for console fans. While the 1.0 update is too substantial for the long-abandoned PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions to handle, the highly-anticipated PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are currently planned to arrive in July 2024, and will include feature parity with the PC version. Finally, players on the new consoles will have access to the best base-building post-apocalyptic games on the market, but there's a catch. Unfortunately, owners of the old console version of 7 Days to Die won't get the new upgrade for free and will have to repurchase the game, although Richard Huenink has clarified that The Fun Pimps is working with Sony and Microsoft to arrange a discount for these players.
With 7 Days to Die's future now confirmed for the next few years, it'll be interesting to see what updates the game receives. The roadmap for the game promises some huge changes, including the addition of bandits, a story mode, a trader overhaul, and crossplay between platforms. It's great to see the work gone in to make 7 Days to Day one of the best survival games around, and it's exciting

Strategy Session: Manor Lords Early Access Review
It's happening again. A small indie developer comes out of nowhere and has everyone flipping their lid over some revolutionary new game, and you can buy it for half the price of a traditional AAA game. Except this time, there isn't some post-launch slow burn as super-streamer after super-streamer gets their chat cults all riled up. Nope, this go-around, medieval city builder Manor Lordsarrived at its Early Access launch with a wishlist army over three million strong, reaching 170,000+ concurrent players on Steam multiple times during launch weekend. But with many of its features still unfinished, Manor Lords may be just a flash in the pan, at least for now.

Spooky throwback Elder Scrolls 'em up Dread Delusion leaves early access in May
Dread Delusion is a creepo-tastic open world RPG that positively reeks of King's Field and the Elder Scrolls of yore. Created by Lovely Hellplace and published by horror anthology specialists DreadXP, it's so far up my alley it's probably been mugged by some kind of hideous clockwork cutthroat - and yet somehow, I've never played the thing. I'll be rectifying that on 14th May, when Dread Delusion leaves early access.

Dark Souls would’ve been a better game in early access, says dev behind Dark Souls-like early access game No Rest For The Wicked
Dark Souls, one of the most widely acclaimed video games of the last two decades - perhaps all time - and progenitor of one of modern video gaming’s most influential and oft-copied-rarely-bettered genres, the Soulslike, would’ve been a better game had it launched into early access. That’s the suggestion from the head of Ori and the Blind Forest developers Moon Studios in the wake of launching their own early access Soulslike, No Rest For The Wicked.
