The brief
Moon Studios has officially announced a delay for the 1.0 release window of the title No Rest for the Wicked, moving the launch date to March 2027. This adjustment affects the timing of the game's full release and its exit from the early access phase. The development team is pushing back the timeline to ensure the product reaches the necessary standard for a full launch. This schedule change impacts multiple platforms and the overall rollout strategy for the studio's project. Coverage of the delay is widespread across gaming and technology media.
Outlets including Game Informer and Gematsu report that the launch is now slated for March 2027. Further details provided by Wccftech specify that the CEO of Moon Studios has admitted that the 1.0 version of No Rest for the Wicked is currently not ready for public release. Additionally, Push Square highlights that this delay specifically encompasses the long-awaited 1.0 version and the game's planned release on the PlayStation 5 console.

Moving forward, the industry will be monitoring the development progress leading up to the new March 2027 deadline. Based on the statements from Moon Studios, the focus remains on preparing the 1.0 version for its eventual exit from early access. Observers will look for updates regarding the PS5 release and any further communications from the CEO regarding the state of the game's readiness as the new window approaches.
