As such, the footage found in Motion Twin's new chat with Red Bull (be wary of spoilers from here on in) won't be new to everyone. Known as Rise of the Giant, the new DLC is already available to PC players, albeit in opt-in beta form. ORIGINAL STORY 25/2/19: Superb action-platformer Dead Cells is poised to get a massive slab of free DLC soon, nine months in the making, and developer Motion Twin has offered a glimpse of its innards in a newly released video. "We're trying to reduce the timeframe between the release on PC and consoles as much as we can," it wrote on Twitter, "but please bear in mind that we're a small team, working as fast as we can."

Motion Twin has also confirmed that Rise of the Giant will be making its way to consoles in due course, although there's no anticipated arrival date at present.

Rise of the Giant, which has been available to foolhardy beta branch testers on Steam for some time, introduces two new areas and bosses, ten new enemies, new skills and weapons, plus a new Skinning system, adding 50 outfits (including one that looks like Christmas tree for some reason) with which to adorn the game's flame-headed lead.Ī more thorough round-up of Rise of the Giant's additions (plus some tasteful animated gifs) can be found on the DLC's newly launched Steam page.
