Dead Cells fans, rejoice! Motion Twin and Evil Empire have just released the final two updates for this beloved roguelike: Clean Cut and The End is Near. These updates mark the end of an era for a game that has been continuously enriched with new content since its launch in 2018. Despite the heavy criticism that came with the announcement of no more free updates, the developers have gone out with a bang.
Clean Cut and The End is Near bring a total of four new weapons to the game, including the intriguing giant Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde. But that's not all—these updates also introduce exciting new modes like Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY. Alongside the weapons, players can now enjoy 40 new heads, multiple new enemy types, and even an NPC that lets you change your head's appearance at will. While Dead Cells shifts its focus to long-term quality-of-life improvements, these final updates promise to keep players engaged for a good while longer.
It's worth noting that the community's reaction to the cessation of free updates was quite vocal, considering the game's impressive track record of half a decade of free content and paid expansions. However, with ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life features, Dead Cells is set to remain a relevant title for years to come.
