Dead Cells' Christmas Update Is Now Live On Consoles

Dead Cells' Update 21 is now live on Xbox One, PS4, and Switch. The update went live in the PC version of the game in December 2020.

Update 21 adds the new Katana weapon, a sword with the unique ability to chain together standard slash attacks with a dashing charge attack. The update adds the Demolisher mob and four new mutations, too.

The new mutations are Acrobatic Preparation (allows you to attack with your equipped range weapon and a ranged weapon in your backpack at the same time), Porcupine Backpack (allows you to attack with your equipped melee weapon by rolling through enemies, Tortoise Wheel (allows you to block or parry attacks by rolling), and Fatal Cadence (increases attack).
