The Queen and the Sea is now available for
Dead Cells, adding new
content to this roguelike action/platformer. The Windows, macOS, and Linux
edition is available on
GOG.com
and
Steam, and the base game is required. This carries a launch discount and the
game and its other DLC are on sale too. This
Animated Trailer offers a stylized look at the DLC, but no gameplay. Here's
word on how this caps off the story from the two previous DLC
releases:
The Queen and the Sea DLC finishes the path that started with
The Bad Seed and Fatal Falls, in which after dying all over again trying to save
the island from the Malaise, the Beheaded is now seeking for a way out of the
island - a way out which he seems to have found in the last DLC, but it's
heavily guarded. The Queen & The Sea DLC takes players through two brand new
Biomes: The Infested Shipwreck and The Lighthouse.
The run is parallel to the High Peak Castle and Throne Room levels, introducing
players to a variety of new challenges. The first Biome, The Infested Shipwreck,
winds you through a rotten shipwreck where you will be hunted by unforgiving
eldritch horrors lurking (like they do) in the spooky and haunted old vessel.
The second Biome, The Lighthouse, showcases a brand new challenge of vertical
exploration not yet seen in Dead Cells. Players will find themselves in a
soaring tower in which players will scramble upward as fast as they can to
outrun rising flames while simultaneously fending off highly skilled warriors
who want nothing more than to end your
run.
