Dead Cells final two updates are now live on iOS and Android, with fresh content to wrap it up

Dead Cells' final content drops: Clean Cut and The End is Near are here!

Motion Twin and Evil Empire's Dead Cells concludes its years-long run of free updates with the release of Clean Cut and The End is Near. These final updates deliver a substantial amount of new content, defying expectations after the initial backlash surrounding the cessation of free updates.

The updates introduce a total of four new weapons, including standout additions like the giant Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde. New gameplay modes, such as Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY, add further replayability. Players can also look forward to 40 new heads, multiple new enemy types, and a game-changing NPC allowing for on-the-fly head customization.

While future development will focus on quality-of-life improvements, this final content surge ensures Dead Cells remains a compelling experience for a considerable time. The criticism surrounding the end of free updates seems ironic considering the extensive support the game has received since its 2018 launch. Five years of free content and paid expansions is a significant achievement. Continued bug fixes and quality-of-life updates will undoubtedly maintain its longevity.
