Dead Cells Adds the Iconic Nail Weapon & Pogo Jump Attack from Hollow Knight

Dead Cells is the gift that just keeps on giving. After a successful early access launch on Steam, followed by another warm reception when the game was officially launched, developer Motion Twin has been consistent with releasing free updates and paid expansions to improve the game’s longevity. With the latest update, though it is a small one, Hollow Knight fans will be pleased to see that the iconic Nail will be added to the game.

Announced via Twitter, the Nail will arrive in the game on Monday, and it also allows the Beheaded to use the pogo jump attack that Hollow Knight fans should be very familiar with.

You nailed it, Hollow Knight is our last guest! The Knight is a bit too shy to show his face. However he was still nice enough to let us use his weapon! And how cool is it to pogo on enemies?
