Thanks again to Motion Twin for their trust, it has been an honor for us to work on Dead Cells which is a genre-defining game and an inspiration! Do not hesitate to check their new game Windblown, it is so fun to play and even more in co-op (up to 3 players)!

[h2]Weapons Improvements[/h2]
- You can now equip 2 weapons at once, this will allow you to adapt depending of the situation. For example if you cannot get close to an enemy, switch for a ranged weapon to keep attacking!
This also changes a lot of things for Weapon Passives as you can have both passives at once but you need the right weapon to use them. For example if you get stacks for your weapon when killing enemies, you can kill them with your other weapon and still get the stacks but you will need to switch to the right weapon to consume them!
- The weapons are also always visible now, it was a lot of work to do as all animations are done frame by frame but this gives more personality to weapons and allows you to better understand which weapon you have now that you can have 2 at once.

Announcing the 2.0 Update content!
We are very happy to announce that we are working on the 2.0 planned for April 2025 (this is subject to change) and this update will have a lot of content at once, there will be a major Free update and a paid DLC named The Outer Reaches.

Originally posted by authorThe Master destroyed countless worlds for his selfish collection. The Fragments Plains, The Red Barrens, The Coral Archipelago and The Crimson Highlands. Quoted text
You go through these worlds to reach The Master because it is the easiest way to reach him but there are many other worlds, alternative paths to follow, The Outer Reaches.
The Outer Reaches are new worlds to explore with their own wildlife and foes.
[h2]The Outer Reaches DLC content -[/h2]
- 4 new worlds to explore with their own musics
- 16 new traps/elements in worlds
- 32 new enemies:
- Andromeda:
- Boss Fight
- Summon
- Ending
You may know that even Zodiacs are afraid of Andromeda because of how powerful she is. She might accept to fight you but do not be afraid, she won't kill you but she won't go easy on you either. If you success to beat her, she will come with you as a Summon fitting with all builds and you might also unlock her ending!
[h2]Major Free Update released simultaneously -[/h2]
- New currency to find during runs related to spells
- 2 New Rooms to find during your runs:
We hope this content will be as exciting for you as it is for us, this will make the game so much bigger than it already is. Doubling the variety of enemies and worlds making each run even fresher and interesting! And we will do our best to create an epic boss fight out of Andromeda, that has been a wish of us for a very long time!
If you are interested by this DLC, do not hesitate to wishlist it, it always helps for our visibility too!
