Dead Cells' Final Updates Hit iOS, Android with New Content
- Dead Cells' last two updates, Clean Cut and The End is Near, have officially launched
- These final updates cap off years of ongoing content support for Dead Cells
- New weapons, enemies and features provide a memorable farewell
Ironically, Motion Twin and Evil Empire's Dead Cells only faced significant criticism when they finally stopped free updates. Since its 2018 debut, the game has consistently received new weapons, equipment, enemies and more. Now with these final updates, the journey reaches its conclusion!
Clean Cut and The End is Near serve as a spectacular sendoff for this beloved roguelike. Together they introduce four new weapons including massive Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde dagger, plus new modes like Speedrun and customizable Boss Rush.
The updates also deliver 40 new character heads, multiple enemy types, and even an NPC for changing head appearances on demand! While Dead Cells will now shift to long-term maintenance, this generous content drop guarantees hours of fresh gameplay.
The End of An Era
Like many fans, I was surprised by the backlash when free updates ended. Five years of free content (plus paid DLC) is remarkable, and ongoing quality-of-life improvements will maintain the game's appeal.
