Dead Cells update brings a new biome, monsters, and weapons

Back for more punishment

Welp, my weekend plans are made. Motion Twin has a new update for Dead Cells that adds content (monsters, weapons, another area) and shuffles some of the existing stuff. These are the highlights:

• A new biome: Some say it will get you nowhere but six feet under… But IF you know your way around like a dog knows its bone, you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding it!
• The Island has changed quite a bit. Connections between levels aren’t necessarily the same, have fun figuring all that out again (… until the next update).
• Two news monsters: kill first, ask questions later.
• New weapons!
• Many changes to the economy system: you can’t buy ALL the things now.
• Automatic installation of a language mod in your language if one exists. You can still choose to play in English via the options.
• Promenade got a bit more variety.
• As usual, tons of balancing.

You can find the full patch notes over here. Weaponized boots, you guys!

If you haven’t played Dead Cells yet and you’re longing for a snappy new vania, you should strongly consider following Ray’s lead and giving this a chance. I prefer to wait on Steam Early Access games until they’re in the home stretch, but I caved, and what’s here already feels wonderful.
