Guardian Tales x Dead Cells collaboration announced!

Dazzling the world of Guardian Tales with roguelite charm

Kakao Games is delighted to announce that they are partnering with award-winning studio Motion Twin to bring a part of the iconic roguelite action-platformer Dead Cells into the world of Guardian Tales.

With over 140,000 ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ reviews on Steam alone, Dead Cells is a legend in the history of roguelites — and from today through to the end of September, Guardian Tales players will be able to become part of this epic collaboration themselves.

As if rising from the depths of the Dead Cells world itself, Dark Mage Beth has escaped her confines and is able to channel the might of The Prisoner in a brand new limited edition super costume, turning her into the fearsome Dead Cells Prisoner Beth.

But Dark Mage Beth is not the only one affected by this takeover. A new skin for Heavenhold’s Princess can be obtained, turning her into the mightily adorable Dead Cells Mushroom Boi Princess.

Alongside this, a variety of collaboration commemorative items will be available:

• Exclusive Hero and Equipment Costumes for Plague Doctor, Knight, and Yun
• Heavenhold Monument
• An atmospheric Room Background
• Ghostly portrait Frames
• Event exclusive themed Sticker Pack

To celebrate the collaboration, Guardian Tales is also holding a Lucky Roulette Event during which players can obtain a treasure horde of goodies and collaboration-exclusive items, gifting players a free roulette spin during the event period.

In addition to all those in-game goodies, players can expect a series of exciting community events with additional rewards on social media, so be sure to follow on X and Facebook and join the official Guardian Tales Discord.

The Guardian Tales x Dead Cells collaboration event runs from 16-30 September 2025. For more on this exciting update, check out the website and download Guardian Tales on iOS or Android.
