The Dead Cells Rendezvous 1.9.0 is now live!
-- youtube video
Thanks again to Motion Twin for their trust, it has been an honor for us to work on Dead Cells which is a genre-defining game and an inspiration! Do not hesitate to check their new game Windblown, it is so fun to play and even more in co-op (up to 3 players)!
Dead Cells content
Discover 5 new weapons from Dead Cells:
Ayla: Throwing Knife
Kiran: Nutcracker
Calie: Scythe Claw
Octave: Wrenching Whip
Yamat: Symmetrical Lance
These new weapons add even more variations to your playstyles!
As you saw above, these new weapons come with an extra 15 new passives to discover to complete your fighting style.
Andromeda's bar will also have a surprise visitor if you have a Dead Cells weapon equiped!
Weapons Improvements
- You can now equip 2 weapons at once, this will allow you to adapt depending of the situation. For example if you cannot get close to an enemy, switch for a ranged weapon to keep attacking!
This also changes a lot of things for Weapon Passives as you can have both passives at once but you need the right weapon to use them. For example if you get stacks for your weapon when killing enemies, you can kill them with your other weapon and still get the stacks but you will need to switch to the right weapon to consume them! 
- The weapons are also always visible now, it was a lot of work to do as all animations are done frame by frame but this gives more personality to weapons and allows you to better understand which weapon you have now that you can have 2 at once.
