Dead Cells’ final two updates delayed, but will release early next year

• Dead Cells’ final two free updates have been sadly delayed on mobile
• But, we do know when they’re now arriving, February 18th 2025
• Both bring new weapons, mobs, mutations and more to the hit roguelike

Developer Playdigious has announced an unfortunate delay to the final two free Dead Cells update debuting on mobile. However, they have also tempered the news with the announcement that Clean Cut and The End is Near now have a solid release date, and will land on February 18th 2025. As for what you can expect from them? Well, let’s find out.

Since Dead Cells console and PC versions have already received this update, that means we can easily discuss what’s coming. Clean Cut’s main headlining features are two new weapons, the Survival-focused Sewing Scissors and the Brutality-focused Giant Comb. There’s also a new NPC named the Tailor’s Daughter who’ll let you freely change the look of your head, and a whole lot more.

Meanwhile, The End is Near’s ominous title belies the addition of a bunch of new mobs, with the Sore Loser, Curser and Doom Bringer. Alongside a host of new skills and colourless mutations, such as Demonic Strength which boosts your damage by a whopping 30% when cursed, with +1% per Curse stack.

All this and a lot of cells too

Suffice it to say, that Playdigious has gone above and beyond in contributing more and more free content to Dead Cells over the years. And while they caught plenty of grief upon announcing the end of these free updates (so that the studio could focus on other projects) I think they’ve well-earned the right to rest on their laurels.

As above, you can expect the final two free updates for Dead Cells Mobile to arrive simultaneously on February 18th, 2025 for Android and iOS.

In the meantime, if you’re just starting out in Dead Cells, first of all welcome, and second of all don’t go in unprepared! Check out our Dead Cells weapon tier list to understand both how they differ, and how you can prepare for the harsh combat on this cursed island.
