Dead Cells final two updates are now live on iOS and Android, with fresh content to wrap it up

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, defying the criticism the developers received for ending free updates after a five-year run.

The updates introduce four new weapons, such as the Sewing Scissors and Misericorde, alongside new modes like Speedrun and Boss Rush DIY. Players can also enjoy 40 new heads, multiple enemy types, and an NPC for customizing their character's appearance. While future development will focus on quality-of-life improvements, this final content injection ensures players will be busy for quite some time.

The criticism surrounding the end of free updates seems ironic, given the extensive amount of free content provided over the years. The commitment to long-term bug fixes and quality-of-life enhancements will undoubtedly maintain the game's relevance.
