The journey of Motion Twin and Evil Empire's Dead Cells is coming to a thrilling close with the release of its final updates, Clean Cut and The End is Near. After years of continuous updates since its debut in 2018, the beloved roguelike is wrapping up its content expansion with a flourish.

These last two updates are a testament to the game's enduring popularity, introducing a total of four new weapons, including the intriguing giant Sewing Scissors and the Misericorde. Alongside these, players can dive into new modes like Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY, ensuring that the gameplay remains fresh and exciting.

But the content doesn't stop there. Dead Cells is also rolling out 40 new heads, a variety of new enemy types, and an NPC that allows you to customize your character's head at will. While the developers shift focus to long-term quality-of-life improvements, these updates promise to keep fans engaged for the foreseeable future.

It's ironic that Dead Cells faced heavy criticism when it announced the end of its free updates, especially after providing half a decade of rich content, including paid expansions. The ongoing commitment to bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements will undoubtedly keep the game relevant for years to come.
