Despite the original's success, Motion Twin decided to work on Windblown rather than do the obvious thing and create a Dead Cells 2.

The new @PlayAcclaim isn't rebooting its ’90s franchises like Turok or NBA Jam. Instead, it's backing #indiegames that capture the “scrappy, over-the-top vibe” & creative spirit of its past catalogue. – @CreativeBloq's @IanDean4

Embracer's Bluff was discovered in a @Borderlands 4 playthrough that could be a subtle jab at @GearboxOfficial's ex-owner, Embracer. It's a ramshackle town w/a killer vending machine & an evil AI toilet. – @Kotaku's @ZwiezenZ #gamedev #gamenews
