Moon Studios has announced that the co-op update for No Rest for the Wicked is set to hit on January 22nd, which is next week.
Officially called “No Rest for the Wicked Together”, the developer has released a new trailer showing it off as well, saying the new video highlights “all of the major changes players can expect while traversing the lush and forbidding world of Isola Sacra with up to three friends”.
No Rest for the Wicked Together reimagines traditional co-op multiplayer play of current ARPGs and MMORPGS, allowing up to four players to share a free, persistent Realm without the need for a host to be online. Shared upgrades to No Rest’s soulslike combat let enemies react naturally (and desperately) to being cornered or outnumbered, and new hand-picked enemy locations means plenty of new surprises.
Players can work together during downtime to share and build housing, visit newly reworked vendors, and employ a simple voting system to keep fellow players from causing too much chaos. In addition to all the co-op multiplayer features, this latest update brings numerous quality-of-life updates to No Rest for the Wicked.
We’re big fans of the studio, and indeed No Rest for the Wicked here, so it’s great to see big new updates like this. The title is still in early access on PC, and you can read the description of it below:
No Rest for the Wicked is the third full-length game from Moon Studios, following in the footsteps of the immensely beloved Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
Collect and craft weapons, items, engage in tense soulslike combat against fearsome foes, upgrade their character and personal homestead, and play their part in an epic tale of bloodshed and bravery. It’s all brought to life through the signature painterly and vivid art style of Moon Studios that helped define the Ori series as some of the most visually appealing titles of their generation.
No Rest for the Wicked is in early access on PC for Steam now.
