‘If we did, it’s because we really need the money!’
Retro-style action adventureDead Cellscertainly turned heads when it released in the summer of 2017. But despite the Metroidvania’s success, particularly on Nintendo Switch, it is unlikely that a sequel is forthcoming anytime soon.
Speakingin an interviewwith Game Informer,Dead Cellsdesigner Sébastien Bénard – of outfit Twin Motion – stated that the team has a philosophy of not dwelling for too long on success, instead pushing forward for new ideas and challenges. Pretty wise words, to be honest.
“If you create a big hit, it’s best to use this energy to make something different,” said Bénard in the interview. “I don’t think we’ll make aDead Cells 2. We’re more open to creating more content and opening the game up more to the community. If we did make aDead Cells 2, it’s because we really need the money (laughs). We don’t want to stick to the same thing though… if we did come back it would be something quite different.”
