No Rest for the Wicked's game director intends to push the genre forward - a new class system will change the established rules of ARPGs

In the upcoming Jobs System in No Rest for the Wicked, your character's class will dynamically adapt to your playstyle. If you frequently fight with a sword, you will naturally become a more skilled swordsman. If you use staves and wands, you will begin to develop as a mage. Each class has its own weapon types, traits, and runes, and players will need to use and master a class to unlock its full potential. However, once you have mastered a class, you will be able to apply its skills in other classes as well. Your class is not chosen in a menu — it is earned through gameplay.

[...] we believe that the new Jobs System finally overcomes long-standing barriers in ARPG progression. Of course, it is risky to introduce changes like this at a late stage of development, but I am confident that this is a step in the right direction — not only for Wicked, but for the ARPG genre as a whole. I think Yasumi Matsuno found the right solution 30 years ago — most Western developers simply did not give it the attention it deserved.
