Description: Moon Studios postponed No Rest for the Wicked 1.0 from October 2026 to March 2027. The December open beta is scheduled to include all 24 classes, offering a useful test before launch.
No Rest for the Wicked is targeting March 2027 for version 1.0. Moon Studios confirmed that change on September 1, 2026. The next major checkpoint is the open beta planned for December 2026, not a replacement October launch.[1]
Why does the team need five more months?
The developer says it needs to improve performance, refine its new class system, and finish polishing the game. PC players can already purchase an Early Access build; version 1.0 represents the complete release, with a PlayStation 5 launch also planned. That explains the delay more concretely than rumors about a canceled game.[1]
Responses on Reddit were mixed. One player was disappointed about a longer wait for cross-platform play, while another welcomed extra time to explore different builds. A commenter feared the balancing work might push 1.0 back again. These are individual reactions, not inside information.[4]
What will December actually reveal?
On September 18, Moon Studios described 24 classes, more than 280 traits, six trait slots, and six factions. All 24 classes are scheduled to be playable during the December open beta. An October 2 preview displayed some class armor for version 1.0.[2][3]
The test should give players something more useful than release-date speculation: a feel for the classes and the game's performance. A precise day in March has yet to be announced. Watch for beta access details and a dated launch notice. With 24 classes incoming, nobody wants their best-developed skill to be waiting.
