Dead Cells development ending

Support for Dead Cells is now coming to an end. Today, Motion Twin and Evil Empire announced that update 35 will be the last major update for the game.

Regarding the decision, it was explained that “it’s crucial not to overextend and risk diminishing the unique charm that makes Dead Cells special to us all.”

Motion Twin and Evil Empire did say that quality of life issues and bugs will be taken care of.

The full statement reads:

Update 35 for Dead Cells marks the end of our creative journey on the game. After an incredible 5-year collaboration in bringing additional content to Dead Cells’ live-ops, Evil Empire will be pursuing new adventures and we can’t wait to see what they come up next. This comes after much reflection, especially following the awesome success of the “Return to Castlevania” DLC last year. Our commitment to avoiding the “more of the same” trap and keeping Dead Cells fresh and original has led us to this point; as we’ve seen with other long-running series, it’s crucial not to overextend and risk diminishing the unique charm that makes Dead Cells special to us all. This change explains the recent quiet period on updates, as concluding such a partnership required careful planning to ensure a smooth process for everyone, including the community. As always, we will of course continue to find solutions to make sure that all quality of life issues and bugs are properly fixed across all platforms to provide a worthy experience to all of you.

Dead Cells originally released in 2018. Since then, the title has received many free content updates and even support for different paid DLC.
