Developer and publisher Motion Twin has detailed its next major free update for Dead Cells, which adds a much-requested new Boss Rush mode.
Launching on PC today and later this month for consoles, the Boss Rush mode “adds a new layer of challenge to Dead Cells by daring players to fight bosses one after another, in progressively more difficult stages”.
It’s yet another free update for a game that simply keeps on giving, having launched the equally hefty ‘Enter the Panchaku’ update just last month.
Here’s some further info from Motion Twin:
“Bosses will be randomly selected from three different tiers, increasing in difficulty from the first to the third. In stages with three bosses, players will face one boss from each tier. Stages with five bosses will pit players against two ‘tier one’ bosses, two ‘tier two’ bosses, and then one ‘tier three’ boss.
As if that wasn’t challenging enough, modifiers have also been introduced. Variety is the spice of life, and in this case, can be the end of yours. Modifiers give bosses all kinds of neat power-ups, like extra limbs, healing powers, and buddies who also want to kill you…
It’s important to note that players will only encounter bosses who they’ve already met. New players won’t be forced to contend with end-game bosses. Phew.
Naturally, there are some pretty sweet rewards for going through this punishment. Depending on which stage is beaten, the difficulty it’s beaten on, and whether or not any damage was taken, players will get some pretty impressive swag. A new weapon, skill and mutation await the victor, as well as 6 snazzy skins and a customizable statue.”
We’ll share the final release date for the Switch launch as soon as we learn more from Motion Twin.
