Why is the GameStar test delayed?
“We are working hard to ensure that you all have the best possible gaming experience that we can deliver on Day 1 of Early Access,” writes Gennadiy Korol, co-founder of developer Moon Studios on X, formerly Twitter. That's why there is no keys for press and content creators before publication; all players are released into the world of No Rest for the Wicked at the same time.

Under these circumstances, we cannot offer you purchasing advice before or at the release as usual. But we will still do our best to a conclusion as soon as possible about the game on GameStar.de.
Allegations about the working atmosphere at Moon Studios
A Report from the website Venture Beat from 2021 accused the development studio of toxic statements by the studio founders Thomas Mahler and Gennadiy Korol. The research sources criticized the studio bosses' harsh, unprofessional tone and inappropriate jokes. Mahler and Korol denied the allegations in a statement to Venture Beat in 2021 and did not want to comment further when asked by GameStar.
