Dead Cells studio reveals its new game at The Game Awards: A fast-paced co-op roguelike in which cute animated animals get absolutely massacred

Dead Cells developer Motion Twin revealed its new game during a surprise announcement at The Game Awards tonight, a high-speed roguelike battler called Windblown that sets players off on a quest to protect their home of floating islands from the invading forces of the Vortex.

As Leapers, players will move through the open, ever-changing world known as The Ark, a place "teeming with secrets" and, unfortunately, overrun by deadly Sentinels, the minions of the Vortex. Leapers will have multiple weapons at hand and can shift their builds on the fly, and also have the ability to absorb the memories of their fallen predecessors, enabling the use of stronger and more complex weaponry and allowing players to push deeper into the game with each new run.
