Dead Cells has been out on Steam in early access for a while now, but an official release date has finally been announced. The game will be officially out on August 7, 2018, which is only a month from now. With the announcement also came a new game trailer that shows off what the game has to offer.
The Metroidvania style hack-and-slash sidescrolling roguelite will be released on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Mac, and even Linux. The game is available for pre-order on all platforms except for the Nintendo Switch (pre-orders will start on July 18), and pre-ordering the game will give you a 20% discount.
Motion Twin, the developer behind the highly anticipated game, will even release a physical version of the game that you will be able to pick up if you’re still into physical copies. The soundtrack for the game will also be released as a slick looking vinyl
The game is a brutal roguelite game as we see developed by a lot of indie studios. The game will also have permanent upgrades and a perma-death feature. Furthermore, the game contains a total of 13 levels, 4 bosses, 80 weapons and powers, and 4 special skills. The game is absolutely packed with content and if that wasn’t enough it even has a daily run mode. In this mode, you perform a certain run and then will be ranked on a leaderboard to see how you compared with other people around the world.
If you’re interested in picking up this game, make sure you don’t wait too long as the pre-order discount obviously ends when the game is officially released.
