Hollow Knight: Silksong Overview
Hollow Knight: Silksong (or simply Silksong) is an upcoming action-adventure game developed and published by Team Cherry. It serves as the highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight. While its release date remains unconfirmed, the game is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.
This time around, players assume the role of Hornet, a character from Hollow Knight, who begins her journey at the bottom of Pharloom, a realm described as "haunted by Silk and Song" after being imprisoned. To ascend to the kingdom’s peak and its shining citadel, Hornet must confront new foes and uncover the mystery behind the haunted kingdom.
Silksong retains the core Metroidvania mechanics of its predecessor. Like the Knight, Hornet utilizes tools for combat and exploration. Armed with a needle, her playstyle emphasizes agility, incorporating abilities like grappling and darting. In classic Metroidvania fashion, players will unlock new abilities throughout their journey, enabling access to previously unreachable areas.

Hollow Knight: Silksong Gameplay
Like its predecessor, and since it is a Metroidvania game, Silksong’s gameplay heavily involves platforming through interconnected environments and acquiring new abilities to access previously unreachable areas. Based on available gameplay footage, Hornet’s combat style seems to be faster and more acrobatic compared to the Knight. She can heal on the move using a resource called Silk, which functions similarly to the Soul mechanic of the first game.
New to Silksong is a crafting system that makes use of materials gathered from Hornet’s defeated enemies. Hornet can craft tools, traps, and even weapons, such as a bug-spawning device similar to the Glowing Womb charm from the original game, explosive pimpillos, and more.
Hollow Knight: Silksong Characters
Hornet
So far, the only confirmed character in Hollow Knight: Silksong is Hornet, the princess-protector of Hallownest and fan-favorite sister figure from the original game. Stoic, graceful, and exceptionally agile, Hornet brings a strikingly different approach to combat, introducing a balletic fighting style that contrasts with the more grounded, straightforward combat of The Knight in Hollow Knight.
Armed with a slender needle instead of a Nail, Hornet uses her iconic silk thread both as a recall for her weapon and a tool to ensnare enemies mid-fight.
