No Rest for the Wicked<\/a> has had a bumpy ride through early access so far. While I thought the initial release was an impressive overhead blend of Diablo-ish action RPG systems and Souls-like tropes, it was held back by performance issues and limited scope, and only saw one major update after release (the Crucible patch) before developer Moon Studios fell largely silent.<\/p>\n

I’m chalking most of that quiet spell up to behind-the-scenes shenanigans, as Moon Studios have now successfully reclaimed the rights to the game from publisher Take-Two<\/a>, making this a fully independent production. And now, in what feels like a publisher-free relaunch (and first anniversary celebration), No Rest for the Wicked has gone through a bit of a growth spurt, roughly doubling the size of its world and overhauling a lot of the underlying systems in what the studio are calling the Breach update.<\/p>\n

You can check out the (exhaustingly lengthy) full patch notes here<\/a>, and get your first peek of the new stuff in the impressive trailer below. Be warned: You’ll need to roll a new character to see all the new content, as changes have been made to the game from the very start.<\/p>\n
