Dead Cells Crashes Into Guardian Tales With an Epic Collaboration

Kakao Games just dropped some news that’s bound to get both roguelite veterans and mobile RPG adventurers hyped: Dead Cells is officially crossing over into Guardian Tales. That’s right—the iconic roguelite action-platformer with over 140,000 “Overwhelmingly Positive” reviews on Steam is making its way into the whimsical, puzzle-packed world of Guardian Tales. And this isn’t just a casual nod—this collaboration is loaded with fan-service, skins, and event goodies.

From Prisoner to Beth: A Legendary Takeover

At the heart of this crossover is none other than Guardian Tales’ Dark Mage Beth. No longer confined to her own dark corner of Heavenhold, Beth now channels the raw power of Dead Cells’ most famous figure: The Prisoner. Players can unlock the limited-edition Dead Cells Prisoner Beth costume, transforming her into a roguelite powerhouse with all the aesthetic flair fans know and love.

And Beth isn’t the only one catching the crossover vibes. The usually regal Heavenhold Princess takes a turn for the adorable with her new Dead Cells Mushroom Boi Princess skin, a hilarious-yet-endearing nod to one of the quirkiest allies in Dead Cells.

Unlock Skins, Gear, and More

The collaboration doesn’t stop with just character costumes. For the duration of the event, players can get their hands on a treasure trove of themed gear and goodies, including:

• Hero and Equipment Costumes for Plague Doctor, Knight, and Yun

• A towering Heavenhold Monument to commemorate the event

• A moody, atmospheric Room Background

• Ghostly Portrait Frames to spookify your profile

• An exclusive Sticker Pack to liven up your in-game chats

This isn’t just a crossover—it’s a full-scale invasion of Dead Cells into the Guardian Tales universe.

Spin the Wheel, Score Big

To sweeten the deal, Kakao Games is hosting a Lucky Roulette Event. Players will receive a free spin daily during the event period, with chances to land collaboration-exclusive rewards and a hoard of other valuable loot. It’s RNG with a roguelite twist—perfectly on brand for this partnership.

Beyond the Game: Community Rewards

The celebration spills outside of the game too. Kakao Games is teasing a lineup of community events across social media, where fans can snag additional rewards just by participating. So if you’re chasing every exclusive, keep your eyes on official Guardian Tales channels for announcements.

A Match Made in Pixel Heaven

When you think about it, this crossover makes perfect sense. Dead Cells is all about trial, error, and pushing forward through impossible odds, while Guardian Tales thrives on charm, clever puzzles, and cheeky references to gaming culture. Together, they deliver an event that’s part nostalgia trip, part chaos, and all fun.

The Dead Cells x Guardian Tales collaboration is live now and runs until the end of September. Whether you’re a Dead Cells fan curious to see your favorite roguelite elements reimagined, or a Guardian Tales veteran ready for some fresh cosmetics and loot, this event is one you won’t want to miss.

Question for the squad: Which crossover skin are you most excited to rock—Dead Cells Prisoner Beth, Mushroom Boi Princess, or one of the exclusive hero costumes?
