- Dead Cells' final two updates, Clean Cut and The End is Near, have now been released.
- Both updates deliver the last content additions to Dead Cells, concluding years of continuous updates.
- New weapons, enemies, and more provide a spectacular send-off.
One of the greatest ironies surrounding Motion Twin and Evil Empire's Dead Cells is that it faced significant criticism only when the free updates finally stopped. Since its initial launch in 2018, Dead Cells has consistently received new weapons, gear, enemies, and more. Now, the end has arrived as its two concluding updates go live!
Clean Cut and The End is Near deliver a fitting farewell for this beloved roguelike. Together, they introduce four new weapons, including standout additions like the massive Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde, alongside new modes such as Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY.
Additionally, players can look forward to 40 new heads, multiple enemy types, and even an NPC that lets you change your head's appearance at will! While Dead Cells is now shifting toward long-term quality-of-life improvements as the developers move on, this wealth of new content will undoubtedly keep fans engaged for quite some time.
Undead cellsLike many others, I was somewhat taken aback by the volume of complaints when Dead Cells announced the end of free updates. Five years of free content—plus paid expansions—is a remarkable run, and ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements will surely keep the game relevant in the years ahead.
