What has been achieved with Dead Cells throughout all this time is something to applaud non-stop. The content of the game has been greatly expanded Over the years through free updates and many other expansions and collaborations, which overall has served to make it an exceptional roguelike that is always worth playing again.
However, after dozens of new features that have been constantly added, it has arrived time to say goodbye. So Evil Empire has made it known in a statement stating that update number 35, called The End is Near, will be the last one to be enabled. From that moment on the title will no longer receive any new content.
A total of five years full of surprises and in which Dead Cells has been changing for the better. Here you have the full statement from this division that is part of Motion Twin:
After five years of service, four DLCs, 18 updates, some epic crossovers and a mobile version with Playdigious, Evil Empire will no longer continue working on Dead Cells. We are immensely proud of the work we have done on the game, we have enjoyed every minute of it and we are very grateful to Motion Twin for believing in us and letting us play with his baby for so long.
We’re going to miss working with Dead Cells and in particular we’re going to miss the incredible community. Creating new content with you and seeing your reactions to some of our wild additions has been a blast, even if we haven’t always been perfect. In that case, we are sorry for any controllers that were broken due to Derelict Distillery…
The good news is that our Dead Cells team has been unleashed to unleash their talents on our secret projects and we’ll be revealing what their crazy minds have on their hands very soon. In the meantime, we wish Motion Twin the best and the best of luck with their new Windblown video game.
In addition to the aforementioned update for PC and consoles, the version for mobile devices still has to receive update 34, Clean Cut, before the end of this year. In any case, neither of the two has an official date, although what is certain is that those responsible for Dead Cells They have put the spotlight on other projects.
In fact, there is also another one in progress that is related to the acclaimed roguelike, because in the summer of 2023 it was revealed that a Dead Cells animated series was being produced that would be carried out by Motion Twin itself together with the French studio Bobbypills, the same one that has been leaving us with the animated sequences that have accompanied the numerous trailers of the game.
