Hey everyone, You've waited long enough to know the release date of the Return to Castlevania DLC, we said Q1 2023 and we're already in February, so here it is! But first let's explore an essay about what's going on in the game industry today. We strongly feel that in the current climate of global titans and small independent studios, that we can extrapolate... 6th March! It's 6th March OK. Here's a short gameplay trailer to get your teeth into: [previewyoutube=QBBwIHYm8Mw;full][/previewyoutube] So what you saw there is about 5% of the content on offer, there's still loads for you to discover in March, and keep an eye out for more reveals in the future. That should have been your first true glimpse of the boss fights as well, which we think look pretty damn good, if we do say so ourselves... You'll have hopefully recognised the iconic Vampire Killer track at the end - if you didn't then go listen to the old soundtracks right now! I'll remind you that we have 51 of the original Castlevania tracks in this DLC, with 12 reimagined by our resident musician Yoann "Valmont" Laulan in his Dead Cells style. If that's not reason enough to check out this DLC then I don't know what is! If you haven't wishlisted it yet, here's a handy link for you: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2101430/Dead_Cells_Return_to_Castlevania/ That's not all, there's a couple more bits of Dead Cells news!

Dead Cells board game

Yep, we've decided to bring high octane Dead Cells action to the board game world! Dead Cells: The Rogue-Lite Board Game will be coming to Kickstarter this Spring: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/scorpionmasque/dead-cells-the-rogue-lite-board-game It will be a cooperative, rogue-lite metroidvania inspired experience, where you explore the ever-changing island of Dead Cells as a group. Yeah, yeah, I know, you're getting a co-op Dead Cells experience in a board game and not the video game, don't shoot the messenger... Players will have to choose their path carefully within ruthless biomes and face Malaise-infected enemies or die trying. Each death is a chance to mutate into something far more powerful and go further every run. Explore. Kill. Die. Mutate. Repeat. So it's a pretty faithful representation of the video game, right. The team behind it is Scorpion Masqu, a multiple award-winning publisher with a strong expertise in legacy board games, that has been joined by Kaedama, a group of veteran and decorated designers (7 Wonders, Draftosaurus, Cyclades, The Loop) to bring their vast experiences to the design of this board game. We're confident that they're building a game that remains faithful to the Dead Cells style while translating well into the world of board games. We don't want to release something half-baked just for the sake of it! If you want more info, they've released a blog post here, go check it out.

New Dead Cells wiki

Finally, some seriously dedicated and kind folks from the Dead Cells discord banded together to move the Dead Cells wiki from Fandom to Wiki.gg - https://deadcells.wiki.gg/wiki/Dead_Cells_Wiki Without getting too into the details, Wiki.gg offers fewer adverts, faster and better editing, better looking pages and great admin support. What's not to like?! However, Fandom will still appear as the top result when searching for anything wiki related. You can find the new wiki easily by adding "wiki.gg" at the end of your search or by simply bookmarking the new wiki. The Fandom wiki won't get updates from the experienced editors anymore, so please don't rely on it for up-to-date advice and head over to the wiki.gg site. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this project! That's all for now, speak to you all again very soon :) Cheers, Matt, EE & MT
