Update:
Motion Twin and Evil Empire have confirmed that the 'Everyone is Here' update is now out on Switch (and other consoles).
Original Article (23rd November):
Dead Cells is going big for its next update, embracing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's 'Everyone is Here' slogan for an impressive indie world collab.
In what is the game's 26th update in total, Dead Cells is adding weapons, skills and skins from a number of indie hits you'll be more than familiar with. Hollow Knight, Blasphemous, Hyper Light Drifter, Guacamelee, Skul, and Curse of the Dead Gods are all included, which is quite the lineup. Here's what to expect for each:
Blasphemous
New weapon: Face Flask
- They say this was supposed to heal you, but it doesn't seem to work that well... Eh, who cares, it looks cool as heck.
New outfit: Penitent's OutfitCurse of the Dead Gods
New weapon: Machete and Pistol
- Slash, slash, bang. But like, big strong bang. Basically.
New outfit: Explorer's OutfitGuacamelee
New weapon: Pollo Power
- Unleash your inner chicken and bring wrath to your enemies, as you lay egg-bombs all over the island.
New outfit: Luchador's OutfitHollow Knight
New weapon: Pure Nail
- Looks like Blobespierre has finally learnt that he's not obliged to stop running everytime he wants to take a swing.
New outfit: Vessel's OufitHyper Light Drifter
New weapon: Hard Light Sword / Hard Light Gun
- Shoot with one to mark your enemy, hit with the other to get your ammo back.
New outfit: The Magician's OutfitSkul
New weapon: Bone
- One swing, two swings, one uncontrollable whirlwind... You know the deal.
New outfit: Little Bone's Outfit
In the update's patch notes, which also detail some balancing and quality of life changes, the team offers a hint on how to unlock all of this new content:
"As you explore Prisoners' Quarters, you might notice some new unusual rooms that don't seem to belong here. Perhaps they shifted from another dimension? Legends say that finding and exploring those rooms will bring you glory and strength!.. as well as new tools to add to your arsenal.
We also heard that a strange, mysterious, might-be-full-of-hints book has appeared somewhere in Prisoners' Quarters. However, its sayings look quite cryptic and incomprehensible..."
So, if you haven't figured it out already, you might want to check out Prisoner's Quarters when the update drops.
Speaking of which, this latest update is now available for players on PC and is headed to consoles "very soon". Keep an eye out, Switch players.

Multiverses man, they're everywhere.
something about Juan being there is very funny to me, maybe it's just the fist
Y'all should try these games, they're fantastic!
This is really cool.
Seriously, Juan and the Drifter are in so many cross-overs that it just makes me roll my eyes whenever they are added.
The game that keeps on giving.
I recently picked up the Prisoners Edition and I haven't been able to stop playing.
Great excuse to keep on playing, and playing, and playing.....
Love, peace and unity! Sweeeeet move.
I recognize 4 and can name one, but when they are in motion, they kinda look all the same and not much like who they are supposed to be.
Needs Shovel Knight
Guacamelee always puts a smile in my face
Where is Zagrious from Hades?
Perhaps the only rogue like I’ve completed a run off. And now hollow Knight and Juan is in it so I’ll have to return 👍
Ok now i'm going to get into this game.
This is amazing
@Snatcher it’s phenomenal
@Pikman Well I made it to the final boss a few times, lost, Then I kinda when't on the other things, Now I think its the perfect time to get back in.
Zagreus where?
So cool! I'll be going back for this for sure. I still haven't "finished" this game and I wish I was better at it so I could. Such a tough game.
"...a strange, mysterious, might-be-full-of-hints book has appeared somewhere in Prisoners' Quarters. However, its sayings look quite cryptic and incomprehensible..."
A possible Slay the Spire reference?
Wish they could have thrown in Leper from Darkest Dungeon but this is still pretty cool
And yet another reason to dive back into dead cells… every time I think i’m done, they pull me back in
Ok this is really cool. Just another reason Dead Cells is awesome!
Genuinely surprised shovel knight isn't here since he's in everything else.
There's been like 20 "indie smash bros" now
"Everyone is here?"
What about Zagreus?
He's probably one of the most memorable Rogue-like protagonists of recent.
No indie crossover is complete until Shovel Knight rears his horned head.
Either him or Meat Boy.
Epic crossovers for an epic game.
Everyone is truly here if Samus Aran and Simon Belmont join the cast.
I'm impressed with all the DLC these guys have given us. Truly remarkable.
Still haven't finished this game!
I beat Skul recently and I still barely touched my copy of Dead Cells, so maybe now’s a good time to get back.
Mmm i totally forgot about this game
I didn't know the last two games, but Hollow Knight, Blasphemous and Guacamelee are amazing. Never got much into Hyper though. I don't know, it has something I don't like much
This is fantastic
I don’t know if it’s just my switch or not but this update absolutely exploded load times. Like a solid minute +. I hope if it’s not just me that they patch this out because it makes the game much less fun in short sessions.
