In a recent interview with a certain gaming publication, game developer Motion Twin revealed that Dead Cells will probably not get any sequel any time soon.
Dead Cells will not have a part 2 soon
The roguelike Metroidvania will not get a sequel, Motion Twin game designer Sebastien Benard revealed in a recent interview. He was asked of a hypothetical sequel of the popular video game, but he revealed the harsh truth on the matter.
In terms of a sequel, we know for sure it’s not a good idea to dwell on your success. If you create a big hit, it’s best to use this energy to make something different. I don’t think we’ll make a Dead Cells 2. We’re more open to creating more content and opening the game up more to the community. If we did make a Dead Cells 2, it’s because we really need the money (laughs). We don’t want to stick to the same thing though, so I think if we did come back it would be something quite different, not a platformer or roguelike along these lines.
There is still some post-release content coming to the game, so there will be more awesome stuff to try out. The latest update revealed a new custom game mode and some challenges. Rather than starting from the beginning with a full sequel, the developers seem to favor more of supporting the original game.
The game is now available on PlayStation 4.
