No Rest for the Wicked: Release date, platforms & everything we know

No Rest for the Wicked is an upcoming dark hack-and-slash RPG, here’s everything we know about the game from its first trailer.

Fans of Soulslike games and Diablo 4 take note, No Rest for the Wicked looks like a cross between both Dark Souls and Diablo, with a little Darksiders thrown in for good measure. The game also has elements of Hades and appears to merge 2D and 3D platforming with hack-and-slash RPG gameplay.

Aesthetically, No Rest for the Wicked has a grim dark feel and uses a cell-shaded animation style that makes the world and gameplay look vibrant at the same time. Set in a dark high-fantasy setting with knights, monsters, and what looks set to be a gripping story, No Rest for the Wicked could be a hit with fans of the genre. Here’s everything we know about the game in one place.

No Rest for the Wicked Gameplay

The trailer shows some cinematic scenes where it appears that a king has died and that various factions are now fighting for control of his kingdom. There also appear to be some dark forces at work that have created some horrific monsters. Doubtless, these faction leaders and monsters will make up the game’s boss encounters. However, we also expect some Game of Thrones-level intrigue in the story.

The gameplay at times looks like a 2D platformer, but other times looks much closer to Diablo or Hades. We expect the game will borrow from both genres to provide a unique hybrid experience that borrows from the very best of each.
