In Q1 2020, Motion Twin and Evil Empire will release The Bad Seed DLC for Dead Cells. This content includes two new biomes, new monsters, new weapons, and "an exceedingly creepy boss battle." If this new content is even half as good as the base game, fans will be in for a real treat.
The Bad Seed DLC will introduce new path choices early on in a playthrough to ensure that all players, regardless of skill level, will be able to play and experience the new content.
The Bad Seed releases for Dead Cells in early 2020 for a price of just $4.99 (USD). It will come out for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Steam versions of the game.
The studios involved promise that this DLC will not be the end of the free post-launch content updates. In fact, they say that they are committed to continuing the free content, balancing, and systemic updates that they began in 2019. The devs say that revenues from The Bad Seed will help the team to continue expanding Dead Cells with more free content throughout 2020.
Players will discover two new biomes inhabited by their own distinctive bestiary; The Arboretum, a lush paradise to deceivingly adorable creatures, and The Swamp, where an overgrown arboreal settlement inhabited by ambushing blow gunners and spear wielders is your only escape from the gargantuan purple ticks that reign uncontested on the ground.
Triumphing over the numerous perils, built by the Dead Cells devs with as much love as sadism, will be rewarded with a conceptually unique armoury, including the first double slot weapon as well as a very dedicated and loyal mushroom companion. Of course, vengeance visited upon the monsters and challenging new biomes that once slowed you down is its own reward, but a few new weapons never hurt anybody.
Winner and nominee for dozens of Game of the Year 2018 awards, Dead Cells is a critically-acclaimed roguelike metroidvania action platformer set within an unpredictable castle packed with dark secrets, game changing items and hordes of deadly beasts. Players face tough risk-reward decisions, building their loadout from an incredibly diverse arsenal of weapons and abilities in the hopes of dodging the castle’s omnipresent threat of permadeath. A steady series of post-launch updates addressing fan feedback has evolved Dead Cells, keeping its action-centric adventure as surprising as it is rewarding.
