Dead Cells developers Motion Twin are preparing to release the final update, Update 35: 'The End Is Near', as they shift focus to new projects. The update marks the end of their creative journey with the game, following a successful run of seven years and four major DLC expansions. The current custodians, Evil Empire, are also moving on to new "secret projects", with Motion Twin working on their new action roguelike Windblown. The developers are committed to keeping Dead Cells fresh and original, and are actively addressing bug fixes and quality of life issues.
After five years of post-launch support, Dead Cells developers Motion Twin and Evil Empire have announced that there will be no new content added to the game after the release of Update 35, citing a desire to end on a high note and avoid staleness. The decision comes after the success of the "Return to Castlevania" DLC last year. However, the developers teased future projects, including an animated series and a board game, and assured players that quality of life issues and bugs will continue to be addressed.
After over 5 years of support, the developers of Dead Cells, Motion Twin, are moving on from the game following the release of its final major update later this year, with Evil Empire pursuing new projects. While this marks the end of big new updates for Dead Cells, the franchise will continue with an animated series, a board game, and more collaborations in the future. Motion Twin also announced its next project, Windblown, at the 2023 Game Awards.
