Motion Twin, the independent developer behind the popular 'Dead Cells' roguelike sidescroller title is working on a physical PS5 edition for the game. This physical release follows the release of 'Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania,' a collaborative work with Konami and an homage to Castlevania, one of the founding games of the 'Metroidvania' genre.
The physical PS5 release will include the Return to Castlevania expansion pack, and while it may include all previous downloadable content expansions as well, this has not yet been confirmed. Bringing Dead Cells to the PS5 via a physical edition means that the console will receive a dedicated version of the game, suggesting support for PS5 features, such as 4K resolution, 120FPS, and Dualsense integrations.
