The RPG genre has been blessed with some truly amazing franchises, probably too many to mention. However, just to pick out a couple, perhaps the likes of CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher and Blizzard’s Diablo series lead the way.
That being said, some may argue that Diablo IV is a shadow of its former self, but what if we could blend the world of Blizzard’s RPG and CDPR’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, that would truly be a blessing for fans of the genre, right? Well, that’s pretty much what we’ll get with No Rest for the Wicked.
Check out the No Rest for the Wicked trailer below!

Developed by Moon Studios, the team that brought us the fantastic Ori and the Blind Forest as well as Ori and the Will of the Wisps is now venturing away from the Metroidvania genre into the action RPG.
“The year is 841 – King Harol is dead. As word of his death echoes throughout the kingdom, the crown passes to his arrogant, yet untested son Magnus,” reads the description of No Rest for the Wicked. “Even worse, the Pestilence, an unholy plague not seen for a thousand years, has returned. It sweeps across the land, corrupting everything and everyone it touches. Madrigal Seline, a ruthlessly ambitious figure in the church, sees the Pestilence as a chance to prove herself in the eyes of her god.”
The description continues: “You are a Cerim – a member of a group of mystical holy warriors imbued with remarkable powers and sworn to defeat the Pestilence at any cost. But the task will prove increasingly challenging as you become entangled in the people’s plight and the vast political struggle of this downtrodden land. Chaos will pull you in every direction as you seek to cleanse the land of wickedness and shape the kingdom’s fate.”
At this time, No Rest for the Wicked does not have a release date, but we do know that it will launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, hopefully at some point this year.
