Motion Twin's excellent hack-and-slash roguelite platformer Dead Cells will be getting free DLC that adds Hollow Knight to the game – complete with the Knight's iconic weapon that allows them to pogo-slash enemies. It's available very soon too – in fact, the update will drop this Monday.
It's long been known that the Dead Cells team at Motion Twin are fans of developer Steve Filby previously remarked that the studio may make "a Dead Cells version of Hollow Knight" in the future – meaning a full Metroidvania, although it's notable they used Hollow Knight as an example rather than, say, Metroid or Castlevania.
This week Motion Twin has been teasing new heroes from other games coming to Dead Cells' world, called "Guacamelee's Juan.
The final guest coming to Dead Cells was just revealed as a stylised Hollow Knight – after being teased earlier this week with the appearance of one of the game's iconic checkpoint benches – and apparently the free update with all these "legends" will be added in a patch on Monday.

Presumably that's not it for Dead Cells, which Hollow Knight: Silksong.
