How to get No Rest for the Wicked early access

Unlike other games that require you to pre-order or buy a special edition to acquire early access, No Rest for the Wicked is releasing in early access, meaning you only have to buy the game once the countdown has ended and its early access release has occurred.

When the game releases in early access on April 18, Steam users will be able to buy it with a special Steam launch discount, down from $39.99 to $31.99 until May 2 at 11am CT. Additionally, players will have the chance to get an extra 10 percent off if they purchase the game via a partnered content creator through an affiliate program. More details on the affiliate program will be announced soon.

Once the game is bought in early access, players will not have to purchase it again when it eventually launches in full.
