The co-op open beta for No Rest for the Wicked is now available on Steam, giving existing owners early access to the upcoming multiplayer experience ahead of its full launch. The test is hosted on a separate Experimental branch, allowing players to try co-op without affecting their live saves or characters.
This limited-time beta runs for several days and is intended to gather player feedback before the official co-op release. Participants can team up with friends or other community members and help shape the final version of the multiplayer experience.
