In the new DLC, you have to make a trek across invisible platforms in Fractured Shrines to bust open Serenade’s tomb Outside of the new levels and boss inFatal Falls, the DLC’s flashiest addition has got to be Serenade – a talkative pet sword who hovers around, marking enemies for critical hits.

You know, now that it’s available online and won’t be taken down within minutes. So silly.

Not my sharona Knack 2feels like a fever dream. I missed theinitial reportsand I missed theKnack 2announcement. I did notice it become something of a meme online. “Knack 2” people yelled, excitedly, a self-contained joke that might have already morphed into genuine affection for Sony’s latest attempt at a mascot platformer.

Think of it as a ‘Criterion Collection’ version of the game On Friday, August 16, we’ll have a good reason to boot upMark of the Ninjaagain. That’s when Klei Entertainment’s masterful stealth game is getting itsSpecial Edition DLCon Steam and Xbox Live Arcade for $4.99 / 400 Microsoft Points,it’s been announced.
