Dead Cells' final updates, "Clean Cut" and "The End is Near," have arrived, concluding years of continuous free content updates. This massive send-off includes new weapons, enemies, and game modes.
The updates introduce four new weapons, including the unique Sewing Scissors and Misericorde, alongside new game modes like Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY. Players can also expect 40 new heads, multiple enemy types, and a new NPC allowing for on-the-fly head customization. While future updates will focus on quality-of-life improvements, the sheer volume of content in these final updates ensures plenty of replayability.
The criticism surrounding the end of free updates is ironic, given the game's extensive five-year run of free content and paid expansions. The continued commitment to bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements will undoubtedly maintain the game's longevity.
