Moon Studios, acclaimed for their innovative action RPG titles, is once again in the spotlight with their upcoming project, No Rest for the Wicked.
The excitement has been steadily building, especially following recent reports and speculation around a potential release on Nintendo's next-generation hardware, informally referred to by fans as the Switch 2.
As anticipation swells amidst the gaming community, verified developments now put the game's arrival on the Nintendo Switch 2 closer to reality. Recently, Thomas Mahler, CEO of Moon Studios, provided an encouraging update via social media, sharing actual footage of No Rest for the Wicked running on a Switch 2 system.
This demonstration is the first concrete evidence that an optimized version of the game is being tested for Nintendo's highly anticipated new hybrid platform.
Drawing attention from fans and industry analysts alike, Mahler remarked that the foundational step — getting the game to run — has been achieved, but emphasized the team's focus on ensuring a smooth gameplay experience.
"It runs.
Now we just need to make it run well!" Mahler clarified, highlighting the studio's dedication to quality and performance across hardware platforms. While official confirmation of No Rest for the Wicked's Switch 2 release is still pending, Moon Studios' openness reinforces the likelihood.
Earlier, Mahler offered further context about the studio’s release strategy on Discord, acknowledging shifting market conditions.
He stated that, due to current industry dynamics, No Rest for the Wicked would likely see a timed release on PlayStation 5 and possibly Switch 2, with discussions ongoing regarding a future Xbox version.
"Given current market conditions, we might only release on PS5 and potentially Switch 2 for the time being," Mahler explained, noting that a multi-platform launch, though preferred, may require phased releases depending on negotiations and performance. No Rest for the Wicked continues a legacy for Moon Studios, whose reputation was cemented by hits such as the Ori series.
The game is set to further expand the action RPG formula, and with Switch 2 ushering in more powerful hardware capabilities, fans are eager to see how these advancements will be harnessed in Moon Studios’ latest project.
The explicit demonstration of gameplay running on Switch 2 hardware also indicates the studio’s active collaboration with Nintendo to ensure compatibility and technical excellence. As details solidify, No Rest for the Wicked is poised to become a major release for both Moon Studios and the Nintendo Switch 2.
With the eShop and physical markets primed for high-profile third-party titles, the game's potential arrival on Switch 2 underscores Nintendo’s continued appeal to developers aiming for a wide audience across the hybrid platform revolution.
For now, the gaming community awaits an official announcement, confident that Moon Studios will deliver its signature blend of gameplay innovation and technical polish to Nintendo’s evolving ecosystem.
