Hot off the heels of the 'Rise Of The Giant' DLC released earlier this year, fan favourite roguelike-Metroidvania Dead Cells is getting some more DLC which goes by the ominous name of 'The Bad Seed'.
It's going to land on the Switch early next year for only $4.99, and we have plenty more details on it for you below:
Motion Twin and Evil Empire today revealed the wealth of content awaiting Dead Cells fans in its upcoming The Bad Seed DLC, kicking off 2020 with two gorgeous new biomes, several new chill-inducing monsters and all-new weapons, plus an exceedingly creepy boss battle. In case you're not dying enough, more entirely unique ways to meet your maker are on the way, with a release planned on all platforms in Q1 of 2020 for a $4.99 price tag.
The Bad Seed DLC introduces new path choices in the early game ensuring that all players, no matter their level, will be able to enjoy it. Players will discover two new biomes inhabited by their own distinctive bestiary; The Arboretum, a lush paradise to deceivingly adorable creatures, and The Swamp, where an overgrown arboreal settlement inhabited by ambushing blow gunners and spear wielders is your only escape from the gargantuan purple ticks that reign uncontested on the ground.
Triumphing over the numerous perils, built by the Dead Cells devs with as much love as sadism, will be rewarded with a conceptually unique armoury, including the first double slot weapon as well as a very dedicated and loyal mushroom companion. Of course, vengeance visited upon the monsters and challenging new biomes that once slowed you down is its own reward, but a few new weapons never hurt anybody.
While offered as additional paid content, The Bad Seed DLC is not intended to mark the end of the free post-launch content updates the devs have proven to be committed to over the years. Free content, balancing, and systemic updates are planned at the same steady rhythm and of the same quality as seen in 2019. Revenue from paid content like The Bad Seed will allow the team to continue to expand Dead Cells’ base game with and for the fans for a long time to come.
Let us know if you plan to pick up this DLC next year with a comment below.

Started playing the game a lot lately so this is absolutely welcome news
I’m still playing the s*** out of this game and never got tired.
I really can’t wait.
I should really get back to Dead Cells at some point. Played for a while when I first got it but stopped after getting my first win and haven't gone back to it since. There's been a lot of changes since I last touched it so I'd like to give it another go but there's so many great roguelites and it's hard to find time for them all.
@Judas_Krimson Hey man, it's been a while! I used to be Fake E. Lee, just FYI! Hope all is well man, BTW I started a thing. Not sure what's allowed here so just Google The Ghost Generation, we're on Twitter too.
SOOOOOOOOOO stoked for this. Motion Twin are some of the best in the biz, this kind of thing is why.
I must say that this game is incredible. It is immaculately designed and executed, and is as addctive as sin. 120 hours now, with apparently no hope of ever completing even just the third difficulty level (out of six)... and just cannot stop playing it. Is keeping me away from Luigi's Mansion 3 and Pokemon Sword. So, so good.
I recently started playing this game again and, finally got my first boss cell. I'm still trying to get the 2nd one but, I'm loving the challenge and loop of the game. I'm really looking forward to having some more content.
it's fun but i put it down after i got the feeling the enemy and weapon variety didn't change how you play at all, just rush everything down with occasional dodge rolls thrown in, jumping out of the way of attacks wasn't even worth trying so what you have to do felt uniform.
I still play Dead Cells regularly. Not sure I need to buy DLC as I've never come anywhere near completing a run with the base content. But it hasn't stopped being fun.
I thought Motion Twin said they were going to start working on a different game in the same universe, though. That would be more interesting to me than this.
@BenAV Yeah I really had no incentive to beat the game over and over and over either. I killed the king and called it a day lol
Day one buy. Theyve given us so much support since release for free, $5 is a no brainer.
Will definitely buy this dlc. This game is amazing
@GhostGeneration hello mate how it’s going, glad to see you too!
Yes, I haven’t been posting for a long time, I spend most of my social time on Instagram and YouTube, and I usually just look at the news & reviews on NintendoLife without reading too much of the comments, I think I maybe ended up a bit lazy😆🤣
Anyway I’m glad you’re fine and I’m going to see what that’s all about as soon as I post this comment! Take care mate, see you soon!😉👍🏽
Awesome game, but its roguelike nature made me a bit sick of replaying it over and over. I’d rather have a souls-like with tons of replayability in its NG+ cycles than procedurally generated places and loot.
Aaaargh it's too bloody hot here (Perth). Can I get some chill inducing monsters today?
@Judas_Krimson Nice man, I just followed you on IG too.
Just started playing again (one of five games I never let ‘fall off’ the main menu...), so this is joyous news! $5 kinda sux, but as mentioned above, I’ve gotten 50+ hours for $10 thus far; easy decision. Fantastic game!
@matdub mate I've been working outside in this heat for the last few weeks! Has not been fun! Thinking of grabbing this game.
