Moon Studios during its latest Wicked Inside presentations revealed No Rest for the Wicked will be getting a major updated, The Breach, on April 30. It called the update the "biggest update to date."

No Rest for the Wicked is available for PC via Steam. The game will also release for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S when the full release launches.

Amazing Indy Studio. The Ori games are one of the best Metroid Vania games iv ever played.

It's one of my favorite studios and I trust them. I would love for them to copyright Ori or work on a new game in the future.

I think this game had a lot of potential, it just loses its identity along the way. Starts off a slower souls like ARPG, evolving into a 1 button spam fast.

The stats are pretty much just there to gatekeep the weapons, with no secondary benefit.

The core gameplay is fun though, so hopefully being free form a publisher will allow this game to reach the same level of polish the Ori games have.
