The two Ori games were gorgeous platformers that challenged your dexterity while tugging on your heartstrings. The next game from developers Moon Studios seems more likely to do the former than the latter.No Rest For The Wickedis a Souls-ish action RPG that apparently thinks you’reextremelywicked.

It also got a release date today during a showcase stream: April 18th.

Towards the end of the stream, Moon also outlined some of their Early Access roadmap plans, at least in brief. The first major post-launch update will add co-operative and competitive multiplayer, for example, while the second will add a new region and enemies.

Personally, I found Ori a bit too punishing, particularly in its in-my-eyes ill-communicated chases and boss fights, such that I never bothered to persevere with it despite the rave reviews. I suspectNo Rest For The Wickedisn’t for me, then, but it is still gorgeous to look at. Moon Studios know how to make a storm.
