Curse of the Deads Gods is getting some Dead Cells spilled on it in an upcoming update. The surprise crossover adds a new curse, weapons, and challenge room inspired by Dead Cells and, best of all, will be free of charge to players.
The update is appropriately titled Curse of the Dead Cells and arrives on April 14. Players will have to contend with Curse of the Headless, a new curse that tips the hat toward Dead Cells’ noggin-less protagonist that grants faster movement at the expense of taking more damage. Another new curse is coming as well, but developer Passtech Games is keeping tight-lipped on what that one entails.
You can also get their hands on three Dead Cells flavored weapons: Sword of Conjunctivitis, Broadsword of the Knight, and the Crossbow of the Condemned. Additionally, a new two-handed weapon style is coming as well.
A new challenge room will house one of Dead Cells’ cursed chests. In Dead Cells, these chests grant a powerful reward at the expense of being saddled with a curse that usually fades when players kill a certain number of enemies. It’s unclear if that’ll remain true here, but you’ll need to win whatever challenge it hits you with to earn rare weapons, including a cursed one.
Curse of the Dead Gods already shares some similarities to Dead Cells, making this crossover a logical and, most of all, cool idea. The update is coming to all versions of the game, which means PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.

Destiny 2: Season of the Chosen week 9 seasonal challenges are here. For those Guardians already in orbit preparing to complete the latest set of challenges, here is what you need to know about the week ahead with Beyond Light.
Season 13, Season of the Chosen, has done so many wonderful things for the Destiny community. I broke down (with a lot of words, because wow - it was that amazing) in our previous coverage here just how incredible this season was in terms of the narrative, finally finding the right pacing, and making the grind something to look forward to rather than dread. That pacing continues with week 9, including focusing even more Umbral Engrams, racking up kills, and putting Guardians through their own tests with challenging endeavors.
Here's what you need to know:
This one is pretty straight forward, you just need to go to H.E.L.M and focus a single Tier 3 Umbral Engram. Chances are, especially if you're a dedicated player, you've already done this previously, so this part will already be marked as completed for you.
The Presage quest is how you can get the latest Exotic Scout Rifle with Dead Man's Tale (guide on how to get it can be found here). For this challenge, you need to run this instance on Normal or Master Difficulty, with the latter promising more of a return. You'll need to run this three times.
For this, you need to have an entire armor set equipped and scour the in-game universe to get 400 kills. There is a bonus if you take out enemy Guardians in PvP, such as Crucible and Gambit.
You can actually knock out this and Suited for Combat at the same time if you really like Gambit. For this, you'll need to take out Guardians as an Invader (or defend from Invaders). My advice if you're a little squeamish about invading? Loot up with Heavy ammo before going in and have that Super ready to go. Don't activate your Super until you are close enough to enemy players to take them down with, otherwise you run the risk of being shot down prematurely.
You'll need to have 50 of these in order to complete this challenge. A few things to note:
This week's The Ordeal Nightfall strike is a throwback with Fallen S.A.B.E.R. Choose a higher difficulty for better rewards, especially when tackling the Giants challenge. To do the Master difficulty, you're going to need to be Power Level 1325.
Regarding what else you should pay attention to with the latest reset:
So eyes up, Guardian, you've got some grinding to do. To learn more about what's going on in the world of Destiny 2, check out our Game Hub here for the latest and greatest in a world where Cayde-6 ceases to exist...
