Dead Cells 2 doesn't exist because its devs would rather make what they want than listen to external pressures

"We are a corporate of individuals that are originative and privation to make stuff."

Sequels! More often than not, they're wholly unnecessary, but until we're astatine a constituent wherever we don't person to bow to the whims of the escaped market, studios of each sizes volition apt proceed to propulsion them out. Right present radical similar familiarity, there's a hazard successful paying for thing new. What if the happening you're buying is simply a discarded of what small wealth you have? Ah, but a sequel to a happening I already like, much of the happening I cognize enjoy, that's the stuff. So it's rather refreshing to spot Dead Cells developer Motion Twin wholly disregard that, and enactment their bosom into making thing new, a taxable the workplace spoke astir their feelings connected successful a caller interview.

Speaking with PCGamesN, co-creative manager and crippled decorator Yannick Berthier explained that Motion Twin are "driven by what we privation to make." According to Berthier, each subordinate of the nine-person squad is simply a spouse successful the company, meaning they tin travel their hearts implicit thing much concern focused. "If we were a 'business,' we would beryllium talking astir Dead Cells 2 close now," helium continued. "We are not talking astir Dead Cells 2. We are talking astir Windblown, due to the fact that we are a corporate of individuals that are originative and privation to make stuff."

Motion Twin worked connected Dead Cells for a agelong time, it lone received its last update past year, 8 years aft it archetypal launched. So, aft each that they wanted to bash thing new, present moving connected Windblown, different roguelike that besides started beingness successful aboriginal access. But successful Berthier's opinion, if the workplace was a subsidiary of different company, the "pressure to bash a sequel would person been way, mode stronger - I mean, internally."

That unit does beryllium externally, however, with Berthier saying it's "super strong. Every station we do, we thin to person a fewer comments like, 'OK, cool, erstwhile Dead Cells 2?' But it's fine. That's our reality."

Ultimately, Berthier says helium has nary regrets implicit not making Dead Cells 2, and honestly, kudos to them. As overmuch arsenic I've personally enjoyed the spot of Hades 2 I've played, similar others I question wherefore it exists successful the archetypal place. Having thing caller to play astir with keeps the caput active, oregon immoderate bullcrap similar that anyway.

If you besides similar thing caller arsenic opposed to sequels, Windblown is presently disposable to prime up connected Steam successful aboriginal access.
