The upcoming Metroidvania game, "Dead Cells," has been on early access for almost eight months now. While there is no official release date, the eight months have been enough for developer Motion Twin to have added a lot of content. In line with this, they are planning to raise the early access price higher.
Thankfully, those who want to get the game while it is still at a cheaper price can do so while still on Winter Sale. The price rise would be effective by the time the Winter Sale is over. From the original price of $16.99, it will be raised by $3 to $19.99. With the Steam sale, it is currently at $7.25 so if players decide to get it before the rise, they get to save $12.74.
Getting the game would then prove to be a bang for the buck especially for a game like this. As for its gameplay, it just gives all the more reason for players to get it soon. A simple search on its Steam page and its reviews will tell potential players that the game has been improving really well as compared to when it was just released.
The price rise also makes sense since they just rolled out one of their biggest update, "The Foundry." A lot of the major changes have been made including the following: updated difficulty settings, ability to re-spec a character at any point in time, a better weapon upgrade system, and definitely a lot more. Those interested can read the full patch notes on their Steam website.
"The game now has tonnes will features, more content, less bugs, and there's less of a risk taken by new players when they buy the game... as a result of this we're going to increase the price," said Motion Twin as per PC Gamer. "We'll probably do that again at the end of Early Access."
Motion Twin did say as well that they are still "far from finishing the game." Considering that they will again increase the price, it would then seem a lot better to get the game while on the sale.
