Astral Ascent’s Dead Cells collab content showcased (UPDATE)
Astral Ascent has shown off more of it’s latest collab, titled “The Dead Cells Rendezvouz.” As you can probably guess, this tie-up brings some of the Dead Cells world into Astral Ascent, and you can get a great look at the crossover via the trailer above.
We’re not quite sure when this content will make its way to the Switch version of Astral Ascent, but we do have details on what it’ll include. Here’s the full breakdown of what this update offers:
5 new weapons from Dead Cells:
- Ayla: Throwing Knife
- Kiran: Nutcracker
- Calie: Scythe Claw
- Octave: Wrenching Whip
- Yamat: Symmetrical Lance
These new weapons come with an extra 15 new passives to discover to complete your fighting style. Andromeda’s bar will also have a surprise visitor if you have a Dead Cells weapon equipped!
You can now equip 2 weapons at once, this will allow you to adapt depending of the situation. For example if you cannot get close to an enemy, switch for a ranged weapon to keep attacking!
This also changes a lot of things for Weapon Passives as you can have both passives at once but you need the right weapon to use them. For example if you get stacks for your weapon when killing enemies, you can kill them with your other weapon and still get the stacks but you will need to switch to the right weapon to consume them!
The weapons are also always visible now, it was a lot of work to do as all animations are done frame by frame but this gives more personality to weapons and allows you to better understand which weapon you have now that you can have 2 at once.
