The developers announced that the final update for Dead Cells will be released in 2024 back in February. Now Motion Twin and Evil Empire have revealed the release date of the 35th update – August 19.
The End is Near patch will offer more enemies, weapons, and mutations that interact with the curse mechanics. It will also introduce 40 new heads for the protagonist and set the exit from the Citadel of the host in the royal castle.
Recall, the developers decided to stop support due to workload on other projects. And although there will be no new content after The End is Near in roguelight-metroidvania, it will continue to receive small patches with bug fixes.
What will both teams throw their energies into after Dead Cells support ends? Motion Twin is working on the action RPG Windblown, while Evil Empire will continue to develop The Rogue Prince of Persia and work on an unnamed third-party franchise project.
