Free Content Pack 01: Hidden Dreams

Some time ago, Team Cherry announced a series of Free Content Packs heading to <span class="bold">Hollow Knight</span> – a great big cherry on top of the deservedly beloved and stylish Metroidvania. The first of these – Free Content Pack 01: Hidden Dreams – has just dropped.

To celebrate the update Hollow Knight is also getting a 34% discount for one week!

So what does the Free Content Pack 01: Hidden Dreams get you? See below for the official info:
2 New Bosses – Leap into battle with the mightiest foes! These epic new duels will test even the most skilled of players. Each fight grants rewards to the victor, though note: Engaging with each imposing boss is entirely optional! Who are these enigmatic, impossible-to-discern figures? We’re not telling! It’s up to you to find out!

2 New Tracks – Epic battles need epic music and Chris’s been preparing just that, with stirring new boss themes for each encounter! He's gone all out on these ones!

New Upgrade: Dream Gate – Discover a whole new method of traversing Hallownest! Slice through the Veil and travel in an instant from one corner of the kingdom to another.

A New Stag Station Uncovered – Hallownest’s stages once traveled the breadth of the kingdom, but with the departure of the King, one station was walled away, hidden from bugs and forgotten by stages, until now!


The discount will last until August 10, 5PM UTC.

So yeah, the new ability really helps with backtracking. Going back over areas for things you might have missed is wicked fast now.

I keep getting Installation Failed: Disk Acess Problem. I have never had this issue with gog before and havent downloaded new anti-virus or anything like that! I want to play the new content but dont want to uninstall and reinstall to lose all my progress. Anybody else having this issue?

A game my kids and I all adore. We've all already got 100% on it thus far, looking forward to the new content!!!!!

MarkoH01: Have been waiting for the free content update. However I am a bit disappointed that GOG decided to let it replace the original game since this is more than a simple update and according to the changelog it changes the game quite a lot. Would have prefered to have at least the option to archive this as a patch.
I love using GOGRepo. I have every version of the Wither 3 and Hollow Knight saved for archival purposes. :P

Still if you have 2 versions of a game archived instead of one version and one patch to update to the other version it will cost you more space. I don't mind th eadditional download but seeing how much the game has changed I think it would have been nice if GOG had given us also the opportunity to backup just the new content pack as well.

You won't lose your progress if you uninstall the game. The savegames are in a different folder and when the uninstaller asks you if you want to keep the save files you just have to chose "yes". If you really want to be 100% sure to not lose any progress simply save the folder

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Team Cherry

before doing anything. Also you could download the offline installer (I assume you used the Galaxy install before) and simply install the files in the same directory (that is the way I just installed the game).

Very nice from the devs to upgrade their game for free.
Hope to see this trend spread and continue.

Thanks.

Why is Galaxy still given broken "Disk access problems"?! Is it still writing data to my C: after we complained about it? I hasve no room on my C: and I'm not clearing it up for retarded software developers who can't figure out how not to write GB of data where I don't want it.

I was having the same issue, so I downloaded the installer from the website, installed over the existing game and now I have it updated on Galaxy.

Thank you for the free stuff Team Cherry :)

I got the "Disk access error" when trying to update. Fixed the error by going to:

MORE > Manage installation > Verify / Repair...

It then installed 1.5GB of data.

It looks like they *did* fix one thing: The Soundtrack Edition used to be Windows-only, but it looks like it now supports Mac and Linux. (Of course, I already have the game and the soundtrack as separate purchases on this site, so I shouldn't need the edition that combines them.)

Hi,

there is a know issue resulting in "Disk access problem" for some very specific game updates, this is top priority for us right now. In almost all cases Verify/Repair should fix the problem.

Of course you are correct with what you demand here but in general: if C also is your system HDD I would still recommend to let it have at least a bit of space.
