Dead Cells Free DLC Arrives With Update and Sale

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 23, 2019

News: Dead Cells has sold over two million units as this free DLC arrives and it goes on sale for those who haven’t purchased the game yet.

New content is available now in Dead Cells with the release of the free DLC, “Rise of the Giant”. The content is now available on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, with Xbox One receiving the content “soon”. Console players who have beaten the game into submission on at least one occasion will gain access to the Cavern, an entirely new environment filled with entirely new ways to die. Abominable new traps, perilous lava pools await and they are filled with violent new enemies waiting to kill you - including a new boss at the end of the Cavern.

Fans will also be introduced to a shiny new skinning system, which gives players more than 50 new character outfits to enjoy. New loot will drop via classic blueprints from existing enemies in the higher difficulty modes (and bosses, of course). This new update also brings the following:

10 new enemy types, many of which can be found in the higher difficulty modes of the game;

Three new skills have been included in the game which consist of a flying pet and a single use scroll that will reveal the current level map (ooOOOooOOoooOooo)

10 new weapons including the Giant Killer, the Boi Axe and the Thunder Shield

The old Hunter Grenade door in the Prisoners’ Quarters has been replaced by a new Specialist shop where you can buy the Hunter’s Grenade, skins or a lovely new Map

For the most advanced players, Rise of the Giant holds a new hidden level. An entirely new ending to your story will be revealed to those who can beat the crap out of the new boss waiting for you at the end.

In addition to this new update being released, Motion Twin has also revealed that Dead Cells has surpassed two million in sales. If you haven’t picked it up yet now is a good time to do so as the game is also currently on sale. Dead Cells is now 20 percent off across the eShop on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Store and Microsoft Store.
