We are very excited to announce to you our collaboration with Motion Twin to release a Dead Cells update for Astral Ascent coming out on November 27th! Here is our reveal teaser below! ːbarbecuePogː
We are very proud of this collaboration as Dead Cells is the most popular of our genre of Platformer Roguelike games it is probably the game that defined this genre the most. It is also a game we took inspiration from for its fluidity of movement and nervous action.
If you do not own Dead Cells already, you can now purchase it alongside Astral Ascent in a bundle!

They have also released a Board Game just recently and their great Animated Serie started release in English! And of course they recently launched their new game Windblown we have a ton of fun playing in co-op!

Though you may want to wait November 27th for an extra discount for the launch of the update.
What to expect from this update?
You will be able to play with 5 unique weapons from Dead Cells :
- Nutcracker for Kiran
- Throwing Knives for Ayla
- Wrenching Whip for Octave
- Scythe Claw for Calie
- Symmetrical Lance for Yamat
These weapons will also come with 15 new passives.
We are also introducing a new system in the 1.9 update, you will be able to hold 2 weapons at once, giving you more strategy opportunities and poweful combos with weapon passives!
It will of course be possible to unlock both of weapons equipped passives at once!
A new addition is also that weapons will always be visible when playing the game now!
It was a lot of work so we hope you will enjoy this change! It is also the case for big weapons like Octave's rocket launcher!
We didn't show anything from 1.9 before today but we will be able to share more on our Discord Server and Twitter of what is coming in just 2 weeks from now
We hope you will keep supporting us in this journey to become one of the best action roguelite out there ːzagplsː
Have an excellent week everyone! ːzimzimSmileː
