Dead Cells' Next DLC 'The Queen & The Sea' Arrives Next Year, Here's Your First Look

Are they ever going to stop and release a definitive edition?

Incredible amount of content added to this game, most for free. What an unbelievable game first off, nevermind all they’ve added. Developers deserve a few hands for the generosity!

I'm fully supporting Paid DLC, They have so much free stuff, I really need to get into it at some point, because when I do, I will have content for days!

@Snatcher I'm only supporting paid DLC if it adds another layer to an already finished game that gives us insight to something greater. Dead Cells does exactly that and gives us even more fanservice. They've also given us a lot of free updates. This is a prime example of how DLC should be handled.

@Nephestinus You said it!

@RupeeClock Sorry not complaining, just means my day of release physical is getting more and more pointless But more and more a collectors item

Gotta love them devs right?

Content in this game is insane, I only wish I could make it past 3BC comfortably, let alone 4BC and 5BC!

One of the greatest games of all time and it just keeps growing. Auto purchase for me.

@Shiiva

Shoot…I don’t know how you made it past 1 bc?!

The support has been mindblowing, considering how much free content they add to the game i really don't mind paying for the pretty cheap paid DLC for both Switch and PS4 versions.

@BaronMunchausen I wish to know how you even beat the game!

@Snatcher

Lol!

@BaronMunchausen Same, 1BC is so punishing already! I need to ease back into it with a couple base runs every time I pick it back up.

@Bunkerneath I really want to play this game, but I have decided to wait and see if they do release a definitive physical edition!

@BaronMunchausen Electric whip or daggers with a quick attack or crit chance, take all the purples in the world to make them stupidly powerful, then take the traps that immobilise enemies, so you can go to town on them. Basic strategy took me through to 3BC, but no longer works due to teleporting enemies who appear in mid-attack, giving you no chance to dodge.

The grand question is when will I boot this up for the first time ever

@Ocaz Tonight.

@RupeeClock if it supports developers your not complaining?
At some point they need to move on period. They also need to stop throwing out definitive editions with each DLC. All they are doing is milking it at this point I do t plan on buying the DLCs anymore until I know they are completely done with the game. I prefer physical but even digital if people are buying dlc after frock their already looking at over 100 bucks for an indie game. That is totally ridiculous. Move on, make a Dead Cells 2 or pre-quel when he was alive or something.

This game is part of my triforce of Indie games.

The other two being Hades and Hollow Knight.

In terms of content, gameplay and generally fun to be had here, the buck stops with these 3. This is 150+ hours, Hades is at 100-120 and Hollow Knight at 80-100 hours. All 3 even with DLCs will cost you under $90. In terms of bang for buck, it really doesn't get much better.

I want an isometric view Dead Cells with the same weapons and more.

@Dirty0814 What so ridiculous? People are enjoying the game still and willing to pay for new expansions. Plus the company that is working on the game is an off-shoot of the original company and was formed just to continue producing Deadcells content while the original studio works on new games.

@Dirty0814 "Do what i want and ignore the playerbase whose happy for more"

@Shiiva

Thanks for the advice; I appreciate it!

@Wilforce what’s ridiculous is the amount of money their syphoning from all of you. Literally around 100 bucks for an indie game with all the dlc? That’s ridiculous. I like the game but not that much, good thing game pass has all the dlc for free. I’ll wait until their done to buy a physical copy for my switch.

@WallyWest Thats literally not what I was saying. Of course as a fan boy you will take anything partially negative.
The game is done period move on and make a new one a sequel. That is what the fan base wants not some added this and that left and right. This is literally played out as much as Skyrim and GTAV has been. Just make a sequel. These companies do nothing but literally siphon every penny from its fans. Doing this is no different than micro transactions because that is exactly what it is.
Say what you want but there would be way more hype and money for them if they just made a Dead Cells 2

@MarioBrickLayer if you got game pass it includes all dlcs

@BaronMunchausen yea daggers or elec whip. Range is always your friend lol. Don’t neglect your bow either

Nice. Maybe I'll get back into the game once that DLC comes out.

if anything the commentary above is just showing how much people devalue indie games, reminds me of the "hollow knight is 15 while metroid is 60" argument and how somehow the response isn't "hollow knight should probably be worth more"
@Dirty0814 well, if this comment section proves anything, more dlc is what the fanbase wants :V

MORE dlc for this game?!… Heck yeah!

@Bret I’ll tell him

@Dirty0814 $100?! Please explain where you're getting this number. The base game is $25 and has, including this new one, three $5 DLC packs. We're at $40 maximum. There's even a digital version on all platforms that gives you the game and both currently available DLC packs for $30, essentially giving you one DLC pack for free.

@Dirty0814 Fanboy??? Dude they charge barely nothing for the paid content and the money they make from it goes into funding all the free content, so far all the paid content doesn't even amount to a tenner.

The game has a huge and passionate fanbase what still play it tons now, they don't make paid and free content for a non existent playerbase. Comparing it to GTA V and Skyrim is just insane and well troll like, those games have been releasing and re-releasing for what 3 gens now at full price while still having expensive DLC and MTX in GTA V's case, Dead Cells is on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC and mobile i think? Since it released on them all they have done is release countless free updates what add a ton of new content and some small but noteworthy very cheap paid content to help fund the free content. Don't like it well play something else then as you aren't the playerbase and you don't speak for them.

@Bret and the game is on Gamepass and is frequently on offer as is the DLC.

@Dirty0814 Way to assume. I’m defending the developer because they’ve done absolutely nothing to earn your ire. If you don’t want to drop money on the DLC then don’t. I haven’t dropped a dime on it since I bought it because I still can’t beat the core game, but what’s good for one person doesn’t have to be good for everyone. The devs are supporting a solid community. Your statement could just as easily be applied to Stardew Valley, Terraria, or Minecraft, which have seen several major updates since release - granted they’ve been free, but the same applies “they just need to release a new game already.” Nothing is wrong with the gameplay loop and every developer handles things differently.

The game that keeps on keeping on.
I love the game so much I bought the Prisoners Edition after I bought it digitally.
I will gladly support an indie Developer that clearly cares for its product, unlike another company that pushes out an unfinished mess.
Take notes Rockstar

@Freek Same here, I got the Prisoner's Edition for PS4. Still never played it on that system, but I was lured in by the extra stuff and desire to support the dev.

@Bret
Yeah, there's some really cool stuff in the PE.
Love the statue and like you said, I have no problem supporting decent developers.

Glad they are releasing new content. Honestly, I wouldn't mind paying next content for this game for the next 5 years. I wish they make a custom run where we can randomize enemies, or even select the ones we want to see on the stage.

lol @Dirty0814 you talk sh** up and down this thread and then after you get called out by just a couple people you disappear?

@RupeeClock I think buying a full fat edition everytime there is an update is maybe supporting them too much! I'm not a charity!

Yoooo that's so soon! Can't wait to get into this game for the trillionth time.

Day one for me

@BaronMunchausen I have beaten 3BC, then I let it go.. I wanted to come back and dream about finish til 5.. but I've heard it gets so hard.. hahaha! once you "master", imo the only hyper difficulty is the last boss.. in 2BC, once you get SO SO SO strong, you can more or less take his atacks but do an insane amount of damage.. on 3BC no.. if you don't learn to avoid his atacks, you are dead.. hehehe! aewsome game! french studio! impressive how they keep addind content! I bought physical but for the moment i don't have half of the DLCs..

Ooh I can’t wait for the dlc! Is there an option to preorder it off the eShop yet? If not then that’s ok, love me some Dead Cells.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I freaking love dead cells, thank yo for all the continued support, Motionwin

@Snatcher I only just earned bc1

@rex_rex
Get ‘em. They’re awesome!

I cannot wait, I love dead Cells and the fact that we are getting new content so much later, makes me even more excited.

I actually bought a Switch just so I could play this game. So worth it. And the million other games I’ve gotten since.

I finally did a completed run...well not an OG Hard run bit. A patch run. Feels good.

I am so hyped for this, it looks amazing. And this game is definitely one of my favorites.
