Just last month, developer Motion Twin announced that their critically acclaimed
Dead Cells was going to be getting even more content for players to sink their teeth into. The developer revealed that the DLC was called "
The Bad Seed", and that it would be including a new level and new bosses for players to fight.
While details about "
The Bad Seed" were rather scarce, the sole fact that Motion Twin was wroking on additional content that would expand on the world of
Dead Cells was still great news for fans of the popular 2D roguelike, and today the developer has revealed even more details about this anticipated DLC.
First things first, Motion Twin reveals that "
The Bad Seed" will be officially becoming available for home consoles and PC on the
11th of February, it will feature two extra levels, new weapons, new enemies, new mechanics, and a challenging new boss.
The description provided by Motion Twin reads as follows:
Explore a relaxing Arboretum, wade through a noxious Swamp and take on a new boss in this new early game content designed to expand the Dead Cells universe and add variety to runs for people who want to support the development of the game.
Play through: - The Arboretum: A relaxing and peaceful greenhouse inhabited by a peaceful clan of mushrooms, with an understandable desire to murder the Beheaded. - The Swamp: A noxious environment ruled by a band of tree dwelling mutans with pointy sticks, sneaky dart shooting frogmen and a bunch of deadly bloodsuckers. - The Nest: Domain of mama tick, if you’ve seen a certain sci-fi movie with "the brain bug", you get the idea...
The two new levels and their monsters are alternatives to The Courtyard/Toxic Sewers and The Ramparts/Ossuary/Ancient Sewers, with the boss designed to be on par with The Concierge, so hopefully it’ll spice up your early game runs once you’ve played through the core game.

Dead Cell's "
The Bad Seed" DLC, Motion Twin also released a gameplay trailer, so don't forget to check it out down below and let us know what you think.

You grew up with the roguelikes, witnessed the rise of the roguelites and even the birth of the roguelite-lites? We'd now like to present for your consideration our RogueVania, the illegitimate child of a modern Roguelite (Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky, etc.) and an old-school MetroidVania (Castlevania: SotN and its ilk).
Dead Cells is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam.
