The latest free update for Dead Cells, a popular roguelike title developed by Evil Empire and Motion Twin, has been released for PC. Dubbed “Clean Cut,” the update revolves around the Beheaded’s favorite stylist, The Tailor, and his newly-discovered daughter who shares a passion for hair. Players can expect new hair-stylist themed weapons, a fresh appearance for the headless protagonist, and numerous gameplay tweaks and changes, such as the addition of three bosses from Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania into Boss Rush Mode. The Clean Cut update will be available on consoles at a later date.
Furthermore, a Kickstarter campaign for the upcoming Dead Cells board game, a one to four player roguelite, is set to launch on May 16.
In this update, players can wield two new weapons: the Sewing Scissors and the Giant Comb. The Sewing Scissors, a large pair of scissors scaling with Survival, can instantly kill all enemies if just one enemy can be killed by the attack’s standard damage. The Giant Comb, a Brutality weapon, deals critical damage to airborne enemies, launching them into the air with the first hit and enabling players to perform powerful aerial combos.
Players can also obtain a new hairstyle for the Beheaded from The Tailor’s daughter, who can work with the flames on the protagonist’s head, transforming them into a “Bobby” version for all skins.
New gameplay features include Speedrun Mode, which offers an in-game timer for tracking speedruns, and tweaks to Boss Rush mode, including a DIY option that lets players choose which bosses they will face. The three bosses from Return to Castlevania have also been added to Boss Rush, complete with mode-enhanced versions.
The update also brings improvements to Dead Cells’ Training Room, allowing players to practice against specific enemies and bosses from Return to Castlevania with their preferred weapons. Additionally, several mutations for the Beheaded have been reworked, such as the Combo mutation with a true-on combo meter and the Disengagement mutation, which no longer has a cooldown and now activates only once per biome.
