Development on Dead Cells is officially over according to game developer Evil Empire. The announcement came late Friday morning on the developer’s official Twitter/X account shortly after Dead Cells‘ 35th update, thanking its fanbase for their support as they move onto future projects.
“We will really miss working on Dead Cells and in particular we will miss the amazing community. Making new content with you and seeing your reactions to some of our wilder additions have been a blast, even if we weren’t always perfect. On that note, we’re sorry for any broken controllers caused by the Derelict Distillery…”
After 5 years of service, we’re hanging up the Dead Cells coat. We’re extremely proud of our work on countless updates & DLC, but now it’s time for something shiny and new, or maybe more than one thing More on that very soon…
