New Dead Cells Update Adds A Katana, New Enemies

Dead Cells' latest free update is live now, just in time for players to dive back into the beloved roguelike over the holidays. The update adds new content--including the much-requested katana--as well as reworks and tweaks on existing systems.

While Dead Cells got its full release over two years ago, the side-scrolling roguelike still receives regular updates, and is in line for a brand new DLC set to launch early next year.

The new update introduces the Katana weapon for the first time, as well as a new mob in the form of the community-suggested explosive crossbow-brandishing Demolisher. Motion Twin says the Demolisher will mainly be found in the Distillery at BC0 and later in the game as an alternative upgrade to the Knife Thrower.
