In a recent statement, Motion Twin and Evil Empire revealed that they will be ending DLC and update support for Dead Cells after five years. The message hints at a “new game (or two)” in development for both companies.
Dead Cells is a beloved rougelike and metroidvania released in 2019. The game has received numerous awards and DLCs, alongside several crossovers with famous franchises. Recently, Motion Twin announced a new rougelike game coming to Steam early access, called Windblown. The release date for the game is currently unknown.
Dead Cells Support Officially Ended by Developers
In a recent message on the official Evil Empire Twitter/X account, the company confirmed that they have stopped support of Dead Cells after five years. This means that the game will no longer receive any updates or DLC content. The message states as follows:
After nearly 5 years of service, 4 DLCs, 18 updates, some epic crossovers and a mobile release with Playdigious, Evil Empire will no longer be working on Dead Cells. We are immensely proud of the work we have put into the game, we loved every minute and are very thankful to Motion Twin for trusting us and letting us play with their baby for so long.
We will really miss working on Dead Cells and in particular we will miss the amazing community. Making new content with you and seeing your reactions to some of our wilder additions has been a blast, even if we weren’t always perfect. On that note, we’re sorry for any broken controllers caused by the Derelict Distillery…
The good news is that our Dead Cells team have been unleashed to pump their talent into our secret projects, and we’ll be revealing what their crazy minds have been coming up with very soon! Meanwhile we of course wish the best for Motion Twin and godspeed to their new game Windblown! 5BC completed, time to start a new game (or two)…
Lastly, Dead Cells is available now on all consoles. Motion Twin and Evil Empire will likely reveal more about their upcoming games in the coming months.
