Dead Cells’ Final Major Update 35 ‘The End Is Near’ Is Now Available on PC and Consoles, No Word on Mobile Yet

Following its announcement a few weeks ago, the final major update for Dead Cells titled The End is Near, version 35, has launched on PC and consoles worldwide. The mobile version of this update will be arriving through Playdigious, but no release date has been announced yet. If you’ve not kept up with the game on iOS or Android, Dead Cells is one of the best games of the last decade across platforms, and it is available on mobile through a standalone release, Apple Arcade, and Netflix. The Dead Cells Clean Cut Update that hit PC and consoles back in April 2023 is still due to hit mobile later this year. Today’s big Update 35 patch notes for Dead Cells The End Is Near can be viewed here. The update focuses on the Curse mechanic with 3 new mobs, 3 new weapons, 3 new mutations, a new biome effect, 40+ new heads for customization, improvements for the Return to Castlevania DLC, and new accessibility options.

If you’ve not gotten Dead Cells yet somehow, read my 2023 review update here covering the Dead Cells Return to Castlevania DLC, patches, state of the game, and more. Dead Cells was our Game of the Year in 2019 when it hit iOS as a premium release done by Playdigious. With update 35, the game on PC and consoles has 4 DLC packs, 18 updates, and more across 5 years by Evil Empire and Motion Twin. You can play Dead Cells on iOS, Android, Netflix for mobile, Apple Arcade, Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox, PS4, and PS5 worldwide. My current favorite versions are still the Steam and iOS releases when played on a Steam Deck OLED or iPhone 15 Pro with a controller. What do you think of Dead Cells if you play it regularly?
