News: If you are a fan of Dead Cells there is good news for you as more challenges and overall content is headed your way.

New downloadable content is on the way for Dead Cells and it is coming in the very near future. This new DLC titled, “The Bad Seed”, will take you through new biomes, give you some new weapons to use, and then place you in front of some ultimate baddies and a blood sucking beast.

“This is the first paid extension to the game after sixteen major free updates, content additions and overhauls since Dead Cells hit Steam Early Access in 2017, and there are still a butt-load of things we’re planning to add to the game,” said Joan Blachere, creative director at Evil Empire.

Once the DLC is released into the wild, players will be introduced to new path choices in the early game, ensuring that all players, no matter their level, will be able to experience crushing new ways to die. With two new biomes inhabited by their own distinctive bestiary, The Arboretum, a lush paradise to deceivingly adorable creatures, and The Swamp, where an overgrown arboreal settlement inhabited by ambushing blow gunners and spear wielders is your only escape from the gargantuan purple ticks that reign uncontested on the ground.

Triumphing over the numerous perils means you will be rewarded with a conceptually unique armory, including the first double slot weapon as well as a very dedicated and loyal mushroom companion. Of course, vengeance visited upon the monsters and conquering the challenging new biomes that once slowed you down is its own reward, but a few new weapons never hurt anybody.

There was also a trailer released to accompany this announcement so take a look at it and then tell us what you think. This new “The Bad Seed” DLC will be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC for $4.99 on February 11th. Will you getting this new content?
