Dead Cells: The Bad Seed DLC gameplay trailer confirms February release

$5 add-on features new levels, boss, enemies and weapons

The first paid DLC for rogue-lite action-platformer Dead Cells will launch on February 11, the newly released gameplay trailer above reveals.

Set for release on PC and consoles priced at $4.99, The Bad Seed features two extra levels with new weapons, enemies, mechanics and a boss.

Developer Motion Twin says: “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.”

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 Heart of the Swamp: Domain of mama tick, if you’ve seen StarShip Troopers, you get the idea…

Dead Cells launched in early access on Steam in May 2017 before releasing in August 2018 for PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC. An iOS version followed in August 2019, while an Android one is scheduled to launch later this year.

Motion Twin told Destructoid in in September 2019 that Dead Cells sales had reached 2.4 million across all platforms.
