Dragon is Dead, the blood-soaked, combo-crunching action roguelite where pixel art meets pure punishment, is slicing its way out of Early Access and into full release this June 6, 2025, on PC (Steam), one year after the game first headed to Early Access.
If Dead Cells had a violent fling with Diablo II, this would be their hellspawn. We’re talking razor-sharp 2D combat, deep loot-driven buildcrafting, and more brutal boss fights than you can swing a cursed axe at. And I’d know, after getting some hands-on during PAX East 2024, and again shortly afterwards. I’ve been waiting for this game to exit early access, and that’s happening very soon.
After a year of community-driven updates and relentless tweaking, the 1.0 version is packing serious heat: a savage new heroine, a final chapter in the Dragon Slayer’s saga, and a mountain of mythic-grade gear to obsess over.
If you haven’t jumped in yet, now’s the time to sharpen your blades and dive into the madness. Dragon is Dead is fast, stylish, unapologetically hard, and 100% worth dying in, over and over again.
Wishlist it now on Steam and prepare to lose sleep, among...
