Moon Studios is stepping up its game with 'No Rest for the Wicked', showcasing versatility beyond the ethereal worlds of Ori, and diving deep into a gritty, action RPG landscape — this shift could be a game-changer for them. The preview of 'No Rest for the Wicked' teases a dark, medieval narrative fused with the studio's signature polish, and if the game's combat and storytelling match the promise of the trailer, we could be in for an epic treat come 2024.
