After 7 years of Dead Cells updates, devs share hopes for their new roguelike to get just as much support: "If we can, why not? If we are lucky enough"
"We have a 🥂ton of things to do and a ton of things to say"

As Dead Cells creator Motion Twin gears up for the first public demo of its new co-op action roguelike, Windblown, soon to be followed by its Steam early access launch on October 24, GamesRadar+ spoke with two members of the small team about their vision for the game. Windblown follows seven years of stellar updates and expansions for the studio's breakout hit, long shepherded by co-dev Evil Empire after it was founded and expanded by former Motion Twin staff as the mothership pressed on with other projects while maintaining creative oversight.✱ Will Windblown follow in its update-heavy footsteps?
I asked Thomas Vasseur and Yannick Berthier of the worker-owned studio of eight (for comparison, Evil Empire boasts of 70 employees and three projects ) if they want Windblown to have a long tail of support like Dead Cells. Bert🍬hier replied🉐 first: "If we can, why not? If we are lucky enough."
Vasseur was keeꦏner still. "I really wis🌺h it will be longer," he said. "Because it's multiplayer, it's co-op, and we have a ton of things to do and a ton of things to say in this game, I think. And yes, I really hope this will be longer than Dead Cells. That would be great."
In 𒊎a follow-up comment, a PR representative forꦆ the game added:
"When [Vasseur] mentioned his hope to support Windblown for a long time, potentially for longer than Dead Cells, that was a comment reflecting his𝔍 own personal wishes. Motion Twin is obviously looking forward to the open future of Windblown but right now their focus is on the game's EA release and developing theꦉ game in tandem with the community."
, Motion Twin lays out plans to stay in early access for "a minimum of one year" while the team prepares updates packing more equipment and biomes, additional polish and multiplayer stability, and balance adjustments based on player feedback. In our interview, Vasseur stressed that integratiﷺng player feedback during early access is vital to the studio's development pro𒆙cess.
