Hollow Knight Silksong Gameplay Trailer And News From Devs

Hollow Knight: Silksong is an upcoming Metroidvania action-adventure video game developed and published by Team Cherry for Windows, macOS, Linux and Nintendo Switch. It was originally announced in February 2019 as a sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs.

The gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor. The player controls Hornet, an insectoid creature who wields a needle to combat enemies. During her adventure, Hornet encounters many hostile creatures. The game is planned to feature over 165 different enemies. Hornet will also encounter many friendly non-player characters.

Silksong will feature a quest system, with characters asking Hornet to fulfill certain requests. The quest system is broken up into at least four sections: Hunt, Gather, Wayfinder and Grand Hunt. Hornet will be able to craft weapons and tools from materials, which may be a replacement for the charm system in Hollow Knight.

Hornet finds herself captured and taken to the unknown, haunted kingdom of Pharloom, which is said to be “ruled by Silk and Song.” Hornet must climb to the top of this kingdom to reach a shining citadel in order to discover why she was brought to this strange kingdom. This contrasts with the progression of Hollow Knight, which involves descending into the depths of Hallownest and trying to stop the infection plaguing the Kingdom. Along the way, she faces many powerful opponents including knights, warriors and assassins.
