No Rest for the Wicked Launch Trailer and Details

Hello everyone!

The launch of No Rest for the Wicked is only a few days away! Thank you for the support as we approach
Early Access release on April 18th at 9am PT | 12pm ET | 5pm BMT | 6pm CEST


Launch Information
Though this information is already out in the world, we’d like to share with you the game’s launch plans.

No Rest for the Wicked will be available at a
special introductory price of $35.99 USD | £31.95 GBP | €35.99 EUR* here on Steam
for a period of two weeks following release until May 2, 2024 at 9am PST.

The game will be available for $39.99 USD | £34.99 GBP | €39.99 EUR* after this two-week period ends.

We’d also like to confirm that No Rest for the Wicked will not have any microtransactions. And, the game’s single player experience will not require an online connection or any anti-cheat software. We’re dedicated to providing you all with a complete, seamless experience!

Regional Pricing
We’ve seen a lot of questions about regional pricing. We understand that some countries experience economic factors that make a direct conversion from the dollar unfair for folks in those countries. We’ve instead taken a look at Steam’s recommended pricing, as well as a range of recent releases to land at regional prices that are hopefully considerate of the local situation and offer great value for our Early Access content.

Shame it's SP only

Steam page doesn't list multi...

However

Moon Studios co-founder and tech and production director Gennadiy Korol has revealed the team's upcoming action-RPG, No Rest for the Wicked, which is also the game on Game Informer's cover this month, will not require an online connection to play single-player. Although, if you've read our cover story about the game, you already know this, and you also know you can play the game with up to three friends on a shared living server.

What's more, Korol says the game will feature "a rich Offline Mode" for those not interested in the game's multiplayer elements.

Also from another random game website

It is confirmed that the game will have 4 player co-op multiplayer as stated by the devs. Although co-op will not be available once the game enters Early Access, players can expect multiplayer once Update 1 rolls out.

Not played it so could be wrong...

But isn't Balder's Gate 3 a masterpiece somewhat credited to being "very" Early Access?
