No Rest for the Wicked Could Launch on Nintendo Switch 2: Moon Studios Shares Update

No Rest for the Wicked Could Launch on Nintendo Switch 2: Moon Studios Shares Update Moon Studios, the acclaimed developer behind the hit Ori series, continues to build anticipation for its upcoming title, No Rest for the Wicked.

Set against a backdrop of heightened industry competition and evolving platform strategies, the latest update concerns the game's potential release on Nintendo’s next-generation hardware, the Nintendo Switch 2. No Rest for the Wicked is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated action RPGs of the year, fueled by Moon Studios’ pedigree for crafting visually stunning and emotionally resonant experiences.

The title has already captured the attention of fans across multiple gaming ecosystems, as the studio explores platform-specific roadmap considerations. In a recent statement shared via the studio’s Discord community and reported by sources including GoNintendo and Pure Xbox, Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler clarified the company’s position regarding future releases.

Mahler explained, “Given the current market conditions, we may limit the initial launch to the PlayStation 5 and potentially the Nintendo Switch 2.

Further discussions with Microsoft will determine the timing and feasibility of an Xbox debut.” This update marks a significant shift in strategy for Moon Studios.

While the developer has not officially confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 release date, Mahler’s remarks affirm that the next-generation Nintendo platform remains a strong candidate for launch.

Historically, Moon Studios has demonstrated a commitment to reaching broad audiences, as evidenced by the Ori series' eventual arrival on the Nintendo Switch and the robust support for multiple platforms via digital storefronts like the eShop and Xbox Store. Mahler also addressed fans’ concerns regarding the staggered release schedule.

In a separate comment on social media, he reassured players that No Rest for the Wicked will ultimately arrive on all major platforms, but clarified that simultaneous release across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox platforms may not be feasible under current market dynamics.

“We want to deliver the best quality experience to each player, regardless of their preferred system.

However, logistical realities mean some platforms will launch later than others,” Mahler stated. Fans eager for updates should note that no official platform announcements—beyond PlayStation 5 and the potential for Nintendo Switch 2—have been made at this stage.

Moon Studios continues to work closely with all major platform holders, and further details are likely to emerge as development progresses. The prospect of No Rest for the Wicked on Nintendo Switch 2 is particularly exciting for industry watchers, as rumors about Nintendo’s next-generation hardware continue to build ahead of any formal Nintendo Direct announcements.

With Moon Studios’ proven track record, a Switch 2 version could signal another high-quality addition to the Nintendo ecosystem and bolster the early lineup for the new console.
