Ori, No Rest for the Wicked studio goes 'fully independent' in aftermath of Private Division closure

Moon Studios – the developer behind the acclaimed Ori series – has announced it’s now ‘fully independent’, having secured the publishing rights to its latest game, No Rest for the Wicked, from Grand Theft Auto and Borderlands publisher Take-Two Interactive.

No Rest for the Wicked, which released into early access last year, was originally set to be published by Private Division – the indie-focused label established by Take-Two in 2017.

Now, however – some four months after Private Division’s divestment – Moon Studios has announced it’s secured the publishing rights to No Rest for the Wicked from Take-Two Interactive, insisting the move will allow it to “execute our vision without restrictions.”
