Former Dead Cells Developer Criticizes Decision to End Updates, Citing Impact on Co-Developer
-
Former Dead Cells lead designer Sébastien Benard criticizes Motion Twin's decision to end development on the game, calling it an "a**hole move" against co-developer Evil Empire.
-
Benard says he was forced to leave Motion Twin in 2019 due to strained relations with the team.
-
Motion Twin announced Dead Cells update 35 will be the last, wanting to avoid diminishing the game's uniqueness.
-
Evil Empire, formed by ex-Motion Twin devs to lead Dead Cells development, says they will no longer work on the game either.
-
Evil Empire plans to work on 1 or 2 new games based on deals with 3rd-party IP holders.
