Holy moly guys — Moon Studios (that *Ori* magic) has FINALLY confirmed it: **No Rest for the Wicked** is officially coming to Switch 2! After teasing us with glimpses of this long-awaited Soulslike "for what feels like forever," they dropped full confirmation today, and honestly I think our patience was worth every second. For those who missed out on this one so far — No Rest for The Wicked sees the Ori dev completely shift gears into that wonderfully grim Dark Fantasy soulslike world (though don't worry about losing all of that *Ori* charm) where you play as a mysterious magic wielder, tasked with eliminating an evil plague ravaging your lands. Classic Soulslike vibes mixed with beautiful fantasy realms — and apparently we've been getting this wrong the whole time!
And here's what really gets me hyped: along with confirming Switch 2 support (with more updates coming down the line), they also announced that No Rest for The Wicked is officially leaving early access. **PC & PS5 launch on October 27th** (yes, *that* date — so many of us were waiting around all year). And get this: their **1.0 release includes over 60 hours of new content from the early access version**, including fresh zones to explore, an actual story finale that will finally give you closure, and full multiplayer support where friends can come along for your soul-damning journey. That's not just a typical patch — that is legitimately substantial post-launch expansion stuff they're bundling right in!
Okay so the Switch 2 date is listed as "at a later date" which might make some of us grumble, but honestly? *Confirmation matters more than we thought*. I'm fully prepared for this to be one of those polished Soulslike experiences that finally gets its due on Nintendo's next-gen console — if they nail combat responsiveness and performance there, it could easily become THE game everyone plays on Switch 2 in the first year. If you've been following Moon Studios' journey from *Ori* into something more challenging and action-packed like this… consider me officially invested again!
