The much-loved roguelike, Dead Cells, is wrapping up its epic journey with the release of its final two updates, Clean Cut and The End is Near. These updates mark the culmination of years of continuous content development by Motion Twin and Evil Empire since the game's initial launch in 2018. It's a bittersweet moment for fans, as these updates signal the end of free content additions, which has sparked some criticism. However, the final send-off is anything but disappointing.
Clean Cut and The End is Near are packed with exciting new features. Together, they introduce four innovative weapons, including the unique Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde. These updates also bring new gameplay modes such as Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY, adding fresh challenges for seasoned players. Additionally, players can now customize their character with 40 new heads, encounter multiple new enemy types, and interact with a new NPC who allows you to change your character's head appearance at will.
While Dead Cells transitions to focusing on long-term quality-of-life improvements as the developers move on, these final updates ensure that there's still plenty of content to keep players engaged for the foreseeable future. The game's dedication to providing free content over half a decade, alongside paid expansions, speaks volumes about its commitment to its community. Even as the free updates come to an end, ongoing bug fixes and quality enhancements will keep Dead Cells relevant and enjoyable for years to come.
