Moon Studios, the creators behind the acclaimed ‘Ori’ series, are poised to reveal their latest project, ‘No Rest for the Wicked’, on March 1st. Prior to the full showcase, IGN First will tease fans with snippets of gameplay, including a nine-minute segment depicting an intense boss fight with a formidable adversary named Warrick the Torn. Excitement mounts as the first glimpse of the title promises a thrilling experience.
A New Adventure Unfolds
In ‘No Rest for the Wicked’, players step into the shoes of a Cerim, tasked with the monumental endeavor of purifying Isola Sacra from a blight known as the Pestilence. The journey is fraught with other survivors, including a father and daughter duo evading the Torn. Players must navigate treacherous drawbridges and vanquish lesser foes, with the spoils of victory offering up new weapons and armor. Moreover, survival is aided by cooking food at fire pits, essential for health and focus restoration.
Confronting the Menacing Warrick
The confrontation with Warrick the Torn is reminiscent of the challenging encounters found in games like ‘Dark Souls’ and ‘Bloodborne’, featuring brutal assaults and wide sweeps. Players are equipped with tactical maneuvers such as dodge-rolls and counters, and they have the option to enhance their attacks with firebombs and flaming blades. In the end, Warrick is defeated, allowing the player to press forward on their quest.
Although ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ will be available on various next-gen platforms, including Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, it is slated to initially launch on PC via early access in Q2 2024. Anticipation for more information and a concrete release date builds as the upcoming showcase draws near.
Eager fans and RPG enthusiasts are on the edge of their seats, ready to dive deep into the world of ‘No Rest for the Wicked’.
