Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Manchester UK, July 10, 2020 – #signatureedition Games, purveyors of physical indie games for collectors, is proud to announce an important update to Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition for Nintendo #switch and #playstation 4.

Following unprecedented demand from the Dead Cells fanbase, #signatureedition Games would like to announce that the Bad Seed DLC, along with the Rise of the Giant DLC, will now be included on the game cart for Nintendo #switch and on the disc for #playstation 4.

Fans will be delighted to hear that the Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition will no longer include a digital code for the Bad Seed DLC. Instead, the Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition will now be the only place to get the original game, Rise of the Giant DLC and The Bad Seed DLC all on a single cart / disc!

The production of Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition has been affected by the global COVID pandemic and the new release date is now set for the end of August. 

Full to bursting with exclusive, collectable content, Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition is the ultimate physical version of the game for fans and collectors alike. Presented in an embossed tin, emblazoned with the Dead Cells iconic flame logo, the centrepiece of Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition is a detailed, 22cm-tall figurine of the Prisoner brandishing one of the game’s stranger weapons, the Vorpan!

The Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition also contains three collector pin badges (featuring all-new designs), four metallic stickers together with an exclusive print art card and a numbered collector’s certificate. Music fans will be excited to know a two-track, 7” orange vinyl record is also included.

Finally, the tin contains either a special #playstation 4 or a #switch version of the Action Game of the Year (containing the game, a bonus artbook and keyring) that features the original game, Rise of the Giant DLC and The Bad Seed DLC on the game disc or cart.

To summarise, the Dead Cells – Prisoner’s Edition contains:

• 22cm / 8.5” figurine of the Prisoner
• Embossed collector’s metal tin featuring the Dead Cells flame
• 3 x exclusive enamel pin badges
• 4 x limited metallic stickers
• An exclusive print art card
• A numbered collector’s certificate

About Dead Cells

The critically acclaimed smash hit, Dead Cells, has thrilled gamers the world over. The Evil Twin team at developers Motion Twin have continued to fine tune and update the game with exciting content, maintaining Dead Cells’ appeal with its fans. The first paid DLC, The Bad Seed, in which players will explore a relaxing Arboretum, wade through a noxious Swamp and take on a new boss is out now.

Dead Cells puts you in control of a failed alchemic experiment trying to figure out what's happening on a sprawling, ever-changing and seemingly cursed Island. Tough but fair combat, responsive controls, challenging foes, permadeath and of course, the emergency panic roll to get you out of trouble, make for a demanding, visceral and cathartic action game.

Experience a roguevania, mixing an interconnected world, branching paths and unlockable skills with the constant adrenaline-pumping threat of permadeath.  No checkpoints. You either vanquish the final boss in one go, or you try again. However, you keep some of your progress for successive runs; new paths you’ve unlocked, access to new levels, mutations, abilities and weapons.

Speaking of weapons, Dead Cells features a plethora of ways to slay your enemies. A large variety of swords, bows and of course spells, but also whips, grenades and turrets, each one with its own unique twist. Plus, mutations and scrolls allow you to build and customize your character differently with each and every run.

At the end of the day though, it’s YOUR skills as a player that matter most! Roguelites are about constantly sharpening your skills, until what was an insurmountable obstacle becomes a walk in the park. Patience, you’ll get better!… eventually.

• Roguevania: The progressive exploration of an interconnected world, with the replayability of a rogue-lite and the adrenaline pumping threat of permadeath.
• 2D Souls-lite Action: Tough but fair combat, the iconic dodge roll, more than 90 weapons and spells with unique gameplay… The unforgiving action wed to the absence of any kind of safety net makes for an adrenalin pumping ride each and every run.
• Nonlinear progression: Sewers, Ossuary or Ramparts? Once unlocked, special permanent abilities allow you to access new paths to reach your objective. Opt for the path that suits your current build, your play style, or just your mood.
• Exploration: Secret rooms, hidden passages, charming landscapes. Take a moment to stroll the towers and breath in that fresh sea mist infused air...
