Dead Cells' final updates, "Clean Cut" and "The End is Near," have arrived, concluding years of continuous free content updates. This marks the end of major content additions for the popular roguelike.
The updates deliver a substantial amount of new content, including four new weapons (like the giant Sewing Scissors and Misericorde), new game modes (Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY), 40 new heads, multiple enemy types, and even an NPC allowing for on-the-fly head customization. While future updates will focus on quality-of-life improvements, this final content injection ensures players will have plenty to explore.
The developer's decision to halt free updates, ironically, drew significant criticism. However, five years of free content and paid expansions is a remarkable achievement. The ongoing commitment to bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements will undoubtedly maintain the game's longevity.
