Since its launch in 2018, Dead Cells has earned overwhelmingly positive reviews, most of which praised the game for its satisfying combat mechanics, diverse selection of weapons and abilities, and remarkable level design. The game has also been hailed for providing a dynamic and compelling gaming experience, with each level bringing distinct challenges and forcing players to apply different traversal strategies and discover hidden items to progress.
Through its crossover with Konami’s Castlevania franchise with the Return to Castlevania DLC, Dead Cells has been elevated even further. This ambitious DLC brings Castlevania’s unforgettable characters and gothic setting to the fast-paced combat of Dead Cells. Since Dead Cells itself draws inspiration from Castlevania, fans have considered it to be the perfect crossover. Finally, players on PlayStation 5 will be able to experience this wonderful collaboration in August.
Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania‘s Standard and Signature Editions are now available for purchase on the Signature Edition online store. The Standard Edition of the game is priced at £39.99, while the Signature Edition costs £59.99.
