The Everyone Is Here update adds characters from other great indies
If you’re a fan of roguelikes and metroidvanias (hello), then you might be pleased to knowDead Cellsadded a bunch of weapons, skins and skills from loads of good’uns. The Everyone Is Here update went live yesterday, bringing new challenges to Motion Twin’s soulslike that will let you unlock characters fromBlasphemous,Hyper Light Drifter,Guacamelee,Skul: The Hero Slayer,Curse Of The Dead Gods, and, most importantly (for me), Hollow Knight. Hooray for Hollow Knight content!With this update, players will find a book at the start of Dead Cells giving them a challenge. Complete one, and you unlock a new character to play as. The game will also have a bunch of lore rooms (the Hollow Knight one has a bench!) you can visit to find weapons and skills.Dead Cells: Everyone is Here! Gameplay TrailerWatch on YouTubeThose weapons include the Pure Nail from Hollow Knight (which lets you do little jumping attacks on enemies below you, like the Knight when he slash-hops on evil bugs), Curse Of The Dead Gods' Machete & Pistol, Guacamelee’s Pollo Power, Hyper Light Drifter’s Gun & Sword, and more.It’s nice to see these indies collaborate like this, I wonder if we’ll see Dead Cells stuff appear in any of the others?Curse Of The Dead Gods added the Prisoner’s lovely flaming headearlier this year. I’ve still yet to play Dead Cells myself, but the allure of Hollow Knight things might just be the final push I needed. I can put on the Knight skin and pretend it’s Silksong!… Or I could enjoy Dead Cells for what it is. Brendy had lots of nice things to say about it in hisDead Cells reviewfrom 2018: “It gets into your nervous system like a wonderful toxin,” he writes. “The verbs ‘hack’ and ‘slash’ have rarely been put to better use.“The Everyone Is Here update is out now on PC, and will come to consoles and Mac “very soon”. You can find Dead Cellson Steam,HumbleandGOG, where it’s currently 40% off. It’s also onthe Epic Games Store, but it’s still full price there.If you’re interested in any of the other games in this little collab, the update coincides with a new bundle on Steam that contains Dead Cells, Curse Of The Dead Gods, Guacamelee 2 and Skul. It’s calledIndie Friends, and costs £31/€35/$37.
