Dead Cells tops 2 million sales

New milestone announced as Rise of the Giant DLC hits consoles

Rogue-like action-platformer Dead Cells has topped two million sales, according to Bordeaux-based developer Motion Twin.

That’s up from one million copies sold in December 2018. The game launched in early access on Steam in May 2017 before releasing last August on PS4, Xbox One, Switch and PC.

It’s also set to be released for iOS devices this summer, and later for Android.

Today’s announcement coincides with the release of the game’s free Rise of the Giant DLC on Switch and PS4. It’s already available on PC and will arrive on Xbox One soon. It includes:

10 new enemy types, many of which can be found in the higher difficulty modes of the game
Three new skills have been included in the game which consist of a flying pet and a single use scroll that will reveal the current level map (ooOOOooOOoooOooo)
10 new weapons including the Giant Killer, the Boi Axe and the Thunder Shield
The old Hunter Grenade door in the Prisoners’ Quarters has been replaced by a new Specialist shop where you can buy
the Hunter’s Grenade, skins or a lovely new Map
For the most advanced players, Rise of the Giant holds a new hidden level. An entirely new ending to your story will be
revealed to those who can beat the crap out of the new boss waiting for you at the end….
