No Rest for the Wicked Coming to Nintendo Switch 2

No Rest for the Wicked, a hack-and-slash from the developers of Ori and the Blind Forest, was shown during Sony’s State of Play and is confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2, though no release date has been announced.

The studio plans to release the full 1.0 version on PC and PlayStation 5 in October. The Switch 2 entry appears on the game’s platform list marked as to be determined, indicating the studio has not set a launch window for that hardware.

The build shown at State of Play emphasized melee combat and the game’s action-focused design. The presentation served as the primary public demonstration of the current version of the title.

The studio behind Ori has shifted from its established platforming and Metroidvania work toward an action-oriented hack-and-slash format with this project. The game retains attention to presentation while centering on combat mechanics.

The Switch 2 listing indicates intent to support Nintendo’s next console, but the lack of a firm date suggests a later arrival than the PC and PS5 releases. The developer has outlined a staggered rollout, with the complete version arriving on PC and PlayStation 5 first.

Beyond the announced platforms and the October timing for PC and PS5, the studio has not released additional details on multiplayer features, post-launch content or the exact release timing for the Switch 2 edition.

Players on PC and PS5 can expect the 1.0 release in October. Players on Nintendo Switch 2 will need to wait for the studio to provide a specific launch date.
