The next DLC for Dead Cells, titled The Queen and the Sea, arrives in early 2022, bringing with it two new biomes, a new boss, new weapons and enemies, and a new ending. “The route that we started so long ago with The Bad Seed and Fatal Falls will be neatly tied off with a slightly unconventional bow,” the devs explain. “The usual two new biomes will be there, but one of them is definitely not the standard-issue Dead Cells level that you know and love…” Those two new biomes are the Infested Shipwreck and the Lighthouse, which function as an alternative to the High Peak Castle and Throne Room levels. There will be more enemies, weapons, and a new pet, but we won’t hear any details on those until we get closer to The Queen and the Sea’s release date. The DLC will be priced at $4.99, and the devs note that this price helps support the development of their next project as well as the free updates for Dead Cells. On that note, more “free stuff” will be on the way after the DLC, and for another year. “There’s already a good chunk of content planned and being worked on right now with some fresh ideas in play, so you shouldn’t be getting bored with us anytime soon,” the devs add. It’s been a busy time for Dead Cells, which also recently decided to “pay tribute” to indie games with some crossover outfits. The Queen and the Sea DLC arrives in early 2022, and we’ll be sure to update you when we learn of a specific release date.
