<p>Reflect on the indie releases of 2018 and one of the standout games was the roguelike action title <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/dead_cells">Dead Cells</a></strong> by French-based developer Motion Twin. The title was praised by critics and sold incredibly well, especially on the Switch eShop where it managed to <a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/09/dead_cells_on_switch_is_outselling_the_playstation_4_version">outsell</a> the PlayStation 4 version.</p>
<p>When a game has this level of success, normally a sequel is expected. In the case of Dead Cells, this might not be the case. Speaking to <a class="external" href="https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2018/12/30/dead-cells-designer-discusses-scrapped-ideas-roguelikes-and-the-potential-for">Game Informer</a>, Motion Twin game designer Sébastien Bénard said it was best for the studio not to dwell on its success:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“If you create a big hit, it’s best to use this energy to make something different. I don’t think we’ll make a Dead Cells 2. We’re more open to creating more content and opening the game up more to the community. If we did make a Dead Cells 2, it’s because we really need the money (laughs). We don’t want to stick to the same thing though, so I think if we did come back it would be something quite different, not a platformer or roguelike along these lines.”</p>
