Moon Studios has confirmed that its action RPG No Rest for the Wicked will exit early access and launch on PC and PS5 on October 27, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version planned for release at a later date.
The announcement closes the early access chapter for the title and sets a firm public release date for non-console platforms.
Background and developer context
Moon Studios, the Austrian developer best known for the Ori series — including Ori and the Blind Forest (2015) and Ori and the Will of the Wisps (2020) — pivoted from its signature platforming work to build No Rest for the Wicked as a Soulslike action RPG.
The game has been available in early access, allowing the studio to iterate on combat, world design, and progression ahead of the full 1.0 launch.
Key launch details
In a formal update, Moon Studios stated that No Rest for the Wicked will leave early access and arrive on PC and PlayStation 5 on October 27.
The studio also confirmed a Switch 2 release will follow, but did not provide a specific release window for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware.
The 1.0 update brings significant new content: Moon Studios says the launch build adds more than 60 hours of content beyond the early access release, including new areas, a story finale, and complete multiplayer functionality.
Rewritten developer statement
Moon Studios confirmed the full release schedule, saying in effect that the game will reach version 1.0 on October 27 for PC and PS5, and that a Switch 2 edition is planned but will arrive later without an exact date at this time.
What this means for players and platforms
The October 27 launch marks the transition from early access to a completed product on PC and PS5, backed by the expanded campaign and multiplayer features included in the 1.0 update.
For Nintendo Switch 2 owners, Moon Studios’ commitment to a port indicates the developer intends to support Nintendo’s next console, though fans will need to wait for a separate release announcement and distribution details such as an eShop listing or price.
Moon Studios and the industry will likely provide follow-up details about the Switch 2 release schedule in the weeks and months ahead, but for now the confirmed October 27 date gives PC and PS5 players a clear timeline for the full game’s arrival.
