The much-anticipated final two updates for Motion Twin and Evil Empire's beloved roguelike, Dead Cells, are now live. Titled Clean Cut and The End is Near, these updates mark the culmination of years of continuous content additions to the game, which first launched in 2018.

It's a bittersweet moment for fans, as the only significant criticism the game ever faced was when the developers announced the end of free updates. However, these final updates are anything but a quiet farewell. Clean Cut and The End is Near introduce a total of four new weapons, including the striking Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde, alongside exciting new modes such as Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY.

In addition to the weaponry, players can now enjoy 40 new heads, a variety of new enemy types, and a unique NPC that allows you to change your character's head appearance at will. As Dead Cells transitions into a phase focused on long-term quality-of-life improvements, these updates ensure that the game will remain engaging and fresh for existing fans and newcomers alike.

While some may have been disappointed by the cessation of free updates, it's important to acknowledge the half-decade of dedication that has gone into enhancing Dead Cells. With ongoing bug fixes and quality-of-life updates, the game is set to remain a staple in the roguelike genre for years to come.
