Evil Empire has announced the date of the last update for Dead Cells. The roguelite game will no longer be supported after that update, scheduled for August 19. Motion Twin and Evil Empire’s work will arrive at update .35 and will not go beyond that.
This isn’t a complete novelty, let’s be clear. Since February of this year we knew that Dead Cells would no longer receive content, but now the farewell is more precise and definitive.
Dead Cells Update Details
“The end is really near… The last update we’ve worked on for Dead Cells will be out in 3 weeks! It’ll be a little weird to see the updates stop after all the ones we’ve done (and DLC!), but let’s be honest: you can play this game for hundreds of hours as is…” the team wrote on Twitter.
The update is simply called “The end is near”. A name that is certainly approachable. Evil Empire’s comment is also more correct: Dead Cells is a huge work, with a lot of content especially if you also consider the DLC. It certainly can’t be said that it hasn’t been supported, given that new features have been arriving for five years.
In February, Evil Empire stated that it wanted to end support to avoid falling into the trap of repetition and risk offering too much content and taking away value from what Dead Cells is.
Meanwhile, Evil Empire is also busy with The Rogue Prince of Persia, which undeniably reminds us a lot of Dead Cells despite being a game based on the Ubisoft saga.
