Hollow Knight: Silksong’s debut trailer boasted of over 150 brand new enemies, including new bosses to fight in addition to this. Looking at the sequel now, it’s not hard to see why. Set to star Hornet, developer Team Cherry quickly realised the scope of the DLC was far bigger than they anticipated, so they actually carved out the space for a full-blown sequel starring Hornet instead. Hollow: Knight: Silksong actually began development as another DLC chapter for the original Hollow Knight. Perhaps this is an opportunity to tell more stories outside of the main plot of Silksong. These sound a lot more fleshed out than in the original Hollow Knight, as Silksong actually allows you to keep track of all your side quests in a journal. Said to be “haunted by Silk and Song” according to developer Team Cherry themselves, Silksong’s basic plot puts Hornet right at the bottom of this new kingdom, and tasks her with ascending to the top of the kingdom and reaching a shining citadel to find out the truth behind her kidnapping.Īdditionally, there’s also going to be side quests for Hornet to take on. In this new game, Hornet finds herself kidnapped, and spirited away to a kingdom called Pharloom. Hollow Knight: Silksong actually switches out protagonists, replacing the Knight with Hornet for this new adventure. If you’ve played Hollow Knight, you’ll no doubt remember Hornet, who frequently got in the way of the player character, but ended up becoming their ally partway through. However, Hornet has a Silk metre, and healing three nodes of health immediately empties the bar. Instead of slowly refilling her health like the Knight did, Hornet can instantly heal three health nodes, and not only that, but she can also do this on the move. Healing also works differently in Silksong than in Hollow Knight. In fact, Team Cherry looks to have made the platforming distinctly more acrobatic with Hornet than with the Knight in the original game: the new protagonist looks like a gymnast compared to the Knight, deftly flipping over huge enemies with ease. It’s clear then that Hollow Knight’s blend of platforming and 2D combat is returning for Silksong. Despite it being a pure introduction to the sequel, we actually did get to see plenty of clips of protagonist Hornet jumping into action, as she bounds and leaps over enemies with finesse. Hollow Knight Silksong gameplayĪs for Hollow Knight: Silksong’s gameplay, the only footage we’ve got to go off right now would be from the debut trailer. The trailer showed there’s new enemies to conquer, new bosses to fight, brand new friends to meet along the way, and new towns to explore, complete with NPC characters and their associated quests.

The two-minute trailer began with Hornet’s kidnapping, showing her breaking free to explore lush meadows and dank underground passageways. This would be the debut reveal trailer for the sequel, which Team Cherry used to announce the game to the world for the very first time all the way back in February 2019.

So, although Hollow Knight: Silksong might only be penned in for a PC and Switch launch right now, don’t take this to mean that the sequel won’t ever come to any other platforms. Veteran fans of Hollow Knight might remember that the original game followed a similar suit, launching for the PC in 2017, before arriving on the Nintendo Switch as its first console platform less than a year later in 2018.Īfter that, Hollow Knight would come to both PlayStation and Xbox platforms later on that same year in 2018. This means that as of right now, the Nintendo Switch will be the only console launch for Hollow Knight: Silksong. When the game was originally revealed in 2019, developer Team Cherry announced that Silksong would be coming to PC for Windows, Mac, and Linux, as well as the Nintendo Switch at launch. Hollow Knight Silksong platformsĭespite the lack of a release date, we do actually know which platforms Hollow Knight: Silksong will be coming to at launch. It’s worth remembering that while the original Hollow Knight did first launch on PC all the way back in 2017, developer Team Cherry was working on various ports and DLC contents for the game for the next two years, meaning we can’t actually say Silksong has been in development for five years at this point. Not only is there not a firm Hollow Knight: Silksong release date to go on right now, but there hasn’t ever been so much as a tease of a potential release date from developer Team Cherry to go on.Īs such, we’re simply left waiting to see when the sequel will eventually launch. Right now, we have zero information to go on as to when Hollow Knight: Silksong might launch.
