‘Dead Cells’ Gets Tougher With Latest Update
The 15th update to Motion Twin’s Dead Cells is now live on PC, bringing with it the usual fixes, but also a whack of enhancements to the game, notably the Corrupted Update which brings a brand new challenge biome to the game in the form of The Corrupted Confinement. Though it’s one of the shortest levels in the game, it’s also one of the toughest, as you start off with a cursed chest.
The new update also adds a new meta upgrade in The Recycling Tubes. The upgrade serves as a reward for finishing off the Hand of the King in BC1. Once you do that, each run will start with a choice between four sets of five items. This replaces the random starting gear from the base game and gives you a a new way to customize your build in the early stages of the game. Topping things off is a new rune that reveals points of interest on the map, along with three new mutations.
The update is live now on Steam, with other platforms and services getting the update over the course of the next few weeks. Dead Cells is available on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch.
