Dead Cells: The End is Near Update is Now Live
After nearly a year since its announcement, Dead Cells’ The End is Near update is now available. It first entered alpha testing on Steam in August 2023 and marks the end of support for the acclaimed side-scrolling action rogue-like. Check out the release trailer below, which also highlights the game’s journey and contains some messages from the development team.
The End is Near offers three new weapons – Anathema, Indulgence, and Misericorde – along with three new Cursed Mobs – Sore Loser, Doom Bringer, and Curser. Cursed Biomes are where the new enemies reside, and while there’s a risk to exploring them, you can discover gear that’s +1 level higher. There’s also a slightly higher chance of encountering Cursed chests.
Other new content includes 20 new Legendary Affixes and new flame heads to resemble characters like the Time Keeper and Queen. Several connections between biomes have also changed, allowing players to visit both areas from the Return to Castlevania DLC in one run.
While support for Dead Cells has ended, Evil Empire is working on The Rogue Prince of Persia. Motion Twin also has a new co-op-focused rogue-lite Windblown entering early access this year.
