Moon Studios, known for its successful Ori series, has announced it is now fully independent following the closure of Private Division. The developer has regained the publishing rights to its latest title, No Rest for the Wicked, from Take-Two Interactive. Originally set to be published by Private Division, the fate of the game changed after Take-Two decided to sell the indie label as it shifted focus away from smaller titles. Despite this, Moon Studios claims that taking control of the publishing rights will allow them to realize their vision without constraints. This announcement aligns with a major update for the action-RPG, which has been in early access for almost a year on PC and Xbox.

No Rest for the Wicked is an action-RPG that immerses players in a fantasy world, allowing for exploration and combat akin to Moon Studios' previous Ori titles, but with a fresh and independent development approach now that the team controls its publishing rights.

No Rest for the Wicked represents an exciting new direction for Moon Studios, which previously established its reputation with Ori and the Blind Forest and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. By regaining independent control, the studio aims to refine and enhance their new title based on player feedback garnered during its early access phase.
