Dead Cells has received its ‘last update ever’

The studios behind Dead Cells have today released the final major update for the game.

Titled ‘The End is Near’, it’s the game’s 35th title update since it was first released over seven years ago.

Available now for PC and consoles, the update includes new mobs, weapons, mutations and biome effects expanding on the curse mechanic.

It also introduces over 40 new head skins, 18 new legendary affixes, extra accessibility options and more.

Dead Cells launched in early access on Steam in May 2017 before releasing the following August for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. iOS and Android versions followed in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

The roguelike, Castlevania-inspired, action-platformer was originally developed by Motion Twin, and more recently by Evil Empire, an offshoot studio established to handle the game’s DLC.

Welp, this is it – the last update we made for Dead Cells (and its last update ever) is out now
Huge thanks to everyone in the community, we had such a great time creating insane content with you, and of course thank you @motiontwin for letting us play with your creation! https://t.co/fpq8L5yGMA

Motion Twin and Evil Empire claimed last summer that Dead Cells had surpassed 10 million sales.

Evil Empire’s latest game, The Rogue Prince of Persia, launched in May via Steam early access.

Motion Twin’s next game is Windblown, “a lightning-fast action roguelite” for 1-3 players, which is scheduled to hit Steam this year.
