The journey of Dead Cells, developed by Motion Twin and Evil Empire, has been nothing short of remarkable. Since its debut in 2018, this beloved roguelike has seen a continuous stream of updates, bringing fresh weapons, gear, enemies, and more to its passionate fanbase. However, all good things must come to an end, and with the arrival of the final two updates, Clean Cut and The End is Near, Dead Cells is set to conclude its epic saga.
These updates are a fitting farewell to the game, introducing a total of four new weapons. Players can now wield the giant Sewing Scissors from Clean Cut or the Misericorde from The End is Near, among other bold additions. The excitement doesn't stop there—new modes such as Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY have been added to test your skills in unique ways.
But the content doesn't end with weapons and modes. Dead Cells is also getting 40 new heads, multiple new enemy types, and an innovative NPC that allows you to change your head's appearance on the fly. As the developers shift focus to long-term quality-of-life improvements, these updates ensure that players will have plenty to explore and enjoy for the foreseeable future.
It's ironic that the only significant criticism Dead Cells faced came when it announced the cessation of free updates. Given the game's half-decade of free content, not to mention the paid expansions, the community's reaction was surprising. Yet, with ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements, Dead Cells is poised to remain a staple in the roguelike genre for years to come.
