Dead Cells ‘Bestiary Update’ Now Live on PC, consoles to follow in a few weeks

Bordeaux, France (April 22, 2020) – Dead Cells fans have several new enemies standing in their way today (alongside a myriad of new content updates) as the Bestiary Update is now live on PC with consoles to follow next month from Motion Twin and Evil Empire.

Fans are also treated to a whopping ten new achievements – with eight of them related to The Bad Seed DLC. Classic achievements are also now available and also secret, so there.

The update content is broken down below:

  • Six brand new enemies await players
  • Three of the enemies are biome specific and three are found throughout various levels at different Boss Cells
  • Eleven new affixes on active skills
  • Eight new normal affixes including ice, fire, bleed or poison, grenades arrows and more
  • Three new starred affixes including oil and fire spreading around when a deployable trap is destroyed, pushing enemies around you when the effect of hte used active ends and extended duration on powers like Wings, Crow and Smokebomb
  • Two new items
  • Crowbar – a fast brutality weapon that crits after breaking a door or a breakable prop
  • Portable Door: allows you to bring a door with you (covering your back while you take care of the mobs in front of you and allowing for an elegant stun effect when you decide to turn around)
  • The Bad Seed addition from earlier this year has received new lore rooms and secrets for the Arboretum and the Morass, as well as new mobs to re-balance the bestiary of the level.
  • Three new outfits cap off the major content updates
  • Two are linked to the secrets and lore of The Bad Seed DLC, and one is available for everyone that can rise up to the ultimate challenge.

The full and dreadfully long list, including balance changes, can be found at https://dead-cells.com/patchnotes.
