Dead Cells Gets A Massive Final Content Update Today

Dead Cells just got its final update, Update 35 - "The End is Near," today, and it's available for free on both PC and consoles. “Now Dead Cells is complete!” the Motion Twin team said in a press release, officially signalling the end of the game's story, updates, and support.

While it's a bittersweet day for many Dead Cells fans who would love to see the game updated for years to come, developers have left fans with a lot of new content to play with in the absence of future changes to the game. In fact, Update 35 is one of Dead Cells' most massive updates yet. This final update includes three new mobs, two weapons, three mutations, 40 new heads, and much more. Check out the full patch notes for all the details.

"Some of the developers here at Motion Twin have been working on Dead Cells for over ten years, and to see the community embrace it from Early Access, to 1.0, through 35 updates and expansions, and beyond is really the most awesome feeling," the Motion Twin team wrote. "Although some of the original Dead Cells developers have moved on to cool, new projects since that original launch years ago, our original team vision for The Beheaded remains, and we want to celebrate this moment with the community that made this game the success that it is.”

While Dead Cells is over with this final jam-packed update, the teams behind the game - Motion Twin and Evil Empire - both have new projects in the works. Motion Twin is making its own rogue-lite Windblown, while Evil Empire is worked on the recently-launched roguelike The Rogue Prince of Persia.

"I joined Motion Twin in 2014 and started working on Dead Cells in various forms from my first day,” Steve Filby, CEO at Evil Empire, said. “I never would have believed that ten years later I'd be writing a final farewell... Hell when we launched the game, I wasn't even sure people would like it. From Motion Twin to Evil Empire, it's been a privilege and a pleasure to contribute to the game, work with the community, and onboard new teammates to the adventure. So long Dead Cells, I think I'll just start one more run before I go..."

To celebrate this final addition of new content to the game, Dead Cells is available at a 50% discount today through 26 August on Steam.
