While Moon Studios has yet to officially announce a Nintendo Switch port, there are strong indications that No Rest for The Wicked could make it to mainstream consoles, with the game's developer expressing interest in doing so. So far, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S ports have been confirmed.

No Rest for The Wicked is a challenging and atmospheric game that features hand-made painterly graphics. Players take on the role of a lone warrior in a dark and twisted world, battling against the incoming wave of pestilence. The game's combat system is heavily inspired by the Souls series and Diablo.

The mechanics and the art style of No Rest for the Wicked can go seamlessly with the Switch. Similar games, such as Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon, already exist in the system’s library. However, the hardware restrictions with the Nintendo Switch can be a cause for concern if the game ever makes its way to consoles.
