Motion Twin Celebrate Upcoming Launch of Dead Cells With Animated Trailer!
Bordeaux, France (August 3, 2018) – Combining the permadeath of a roguelite, the exploration of a metroidvania, and brutal combat with soul, Dead Cells arrives August 7th on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One, and PC (Win/Mac/Linux).
No checkpoints. No extra lives. No second chances.
In Dead Cells, perseverance, skill, and perhaps a little luck are all that stand between you and certain death in the halls of a sprawling castle. To survive, you’ll need to perfect your weapon skills, learn the ways of your enemies, and explore while carving your own path through an ever-changing world.
Available for digital pre-order now, Dead Cells comes to Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC (Win/Mac/Linux) on August 7th for $24.99 (USD). Packed with extra goodies, limited quantities of the Dead Cells boxed edition are available from Signature Edition Games.

With almost 1 million copies sold on PC, you can be sure you’ll find something for you while you explore the interconnect levels, upgrade your weapons, take on formidable enemies and learn to master the game.

At launch, Dead Cells will include:
- 13 Levels – Each one with its own atmosphere, foes and secrets to discover.
- 4 Bosses – Made by the most sadistic of the devs, raised on the salt of the testers.
- 80 or so weapons and skills – Spears, swords, bows, freeze blast, etc.
- 4 special powers, unlocking new areas and paths (metroidvania gear lock items).
