So here's the thing about No Rest for the Wicked - this game's been quietly crushing it since launch. Moon Studios just announced they've sold over a million copies, which is pretty wild for a Souls-inspired ARPG that's still in early access. But the real news? Co-op's finally coming on January 24th, 2026.
Look, I've been playing this thing solo since it dropped, and while the combat feels incredible (think Diablo meets Dark Souls), I kept thinking how much better it'd be with friends. Turns out I wasn't alone. The devs said co-op was their most requested feature by far. Makes sense when you're getting your teeth kicked in by some nightmare boss for the tenth time straight.
The timing couldn't be better either. Path of Exile 2's been dominating the ARPG space lately, but No Rest for the Wicked offers something different. It's got that hand-painted art style that Moon Studios nailed with Ori, except now everything wants to murder you. And the combat? Way more deliberate than your typical Diablo clone. You can't just spam attacks and hope for the best.
What really gets me excited is what this means for the game's future. A million sales for an early access title that's competing with established giants? That's serious momentum. And once people start teaming up next week, I'm betting those numbers are gonna climb even higher. The devs already teased they're working on new zones and a proper endgame system for later in 2026.
Bottom line - if you've been sleeping on this one, maybe reconsider. Especially if you've got a buddy who's into punishing ARPGs. January 24th can't come soon enough.
