Dead Cells Surpasses 10 Million Units Sold
Developer Motion Twin and Evil Empire are celebrating a new milestone for the Metroidvania title Dead Cells which has now surpassed a massive 10 million units sold. The game which originally debuted in early access in 2017, captivated players with its remarkable blend of both roguelite and Metroidvania genres.
Content, Content, Content
While it was already an outstanding game upon release, the developer Motion Twin went above and beyond in supporting it throughout the early access phase and further. The best part? Most of the additional content provided was completely free. The devs have been generous with providing free updates since launch which has won the community over. The updates have contained new weapons, boss rush mode and even crossover content. That’s a total of 34 free updates and 4 paid DLCs, talk about post-launch content.
With years of successful updates and expansions behind it after taking over live ops of Dead Cells in 2019, the studio is tinkering with its time-tested methodology, experimenting with ideas for future updates and new ways for fans to enjoy one of their favorite roguelikes.
