Members from Motion Twin have spent more than a decade crafting Dead Cells, and witnessing the community’s love for it as it progressed from Early Access, to its full release, 35 updates, and expansion packs, has been incredibly rewarding. Although some of the original Dead Cells developers have ventured into exciting new projects since launch, our team’s original vision for The Beheaded endures, and we want to commemorate this milestone with the community that helped make this game a resounding success.

After wrapping up Dead Cells with this last major update, the teams responsible for the game – Motion Twin and Evil Empire – are moving forward with new projects. Motion Twin has taken on creating its own rogue-lite game called Windblown, while Evil Empire is continuing work on The Rogue Prince of Persia, a recently launched roguelike title.

Steve Filby, CEO of Evil Empire, shared that he started working on Dead Cells at Motion Twin back in 2014. Since day one, he had been involved in the project in different capacities. He expressed disbelief that ten years later, he would be writing a final goodbye to the game. When they first launched Dead Cells, there was uncertainty about whether people would enjoy it. From Motion Twin to Evil Empire, it has been an honor and a joy for him to contribute to the game, engage with the community, and welcome new team members on this journey. Before he goes, he plans to start one more run of Dead Cells.

In honor of the latest update to the game, Dead Cells is being offered at a 50% reduction in price from now until August 26th on Steam.
