Dead Cells' Creator's New Game, Nuclear Blaze, Blasts Onto Switch Next Year - Nintendo Life

Back in 2018 we were completely enamoured by Dead Cells.

A roguelite with gorgeous pixel art and enough intense action to fill many hours of play time, the game was, simply put, a blast.

Now Sébastien Benard, the title's lead developer, is taking that sense of blast all the more literally, as their latest game, Nuclear Blaze, will see us tackling fires, explosions and the mystery behind a secret military facility (thanks, Eurogamer).

Revealed in the above announcement trailer, Nuclear Blaze will scorch its way (digitally) onto Switch on 28th April, 2023, with a physical release also coming from Red Art Games!

The game will see you playing as a firefighter who, dropped into a blazing inferno to find the source and look for survivors, uncovers a secret military base and whole lotta mystery hidden therein?

Dead Cells was all about the roguelike action platforming and Nuclear Blaze looks to follow along similar lines, only this time with a little more fire?

The game released on Steam in October of last year and has since garnered a number of positive reviews!

The Switch version looks to carry over much of this PC goodness (or Steam Deck, if you're fancy like that) including the addition of an easier 'Kid Mode' and a more intense 'Hold My Beer' mode.

The game will be scorching onto the eShop from April next year.

What do you make of Nuclear Blaze.

I've made my love for Dead Cells very known on here and, while this new game doesn't interest me nearly as much as DC did, I very much appreciate the lead developer doing something entirely different for their next game.

As someone who’s put over 300 hours into Dead Cells, I’m certainly interested in this, though I’m not entirely sure that I’m exactly loving what I’m seeing so far.

Dead Cells is a phenomenal game and one that they continue to support and innovate upon.

Cannot wait until this hits the Switch.

No Dead Cell vibes.

So Dead Cells was made by Motion Twin, not just published (as Red Art Games is doing - Deepnight Games, Bernard's solo game company, developed Nuclear Blaze).

But Deepnight isn't on any of the Dead Cells credits.

So it's loosely an Ignition Factor meets Dead Cells.

If I’m being brutally honest, I despised Dead Cells

Also… THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for calling Dead Cells and roguelite and not a metroidvania which it most certainly is NOT

It was made before Dead Cells

@Ninersdad It was not made before Dead Cells, it was made last year

Original concept was made in an April 2021 game jam called Ludum Dare 48
