Hollow Knight fans have been waiting eight years for this game.

Silksong follows the adventures of Hornet, former princess of the fallen kingdom of Hallownest as she explores the fallen insect kingdom of Pharloom.

Originally planned to be DLC for the 2017 original, developer Team Cherry announced in 2019 that the project had grown so quickly, they would be taking it forward as a standalone game.

While it retains that gorgeous animation style, there have been changes to the way Hornet moves and heals. Side quests are now part of the game, and Hornet carries a journal to allow her to track them.

Silksong’s map is said to be huge, with 200 new enemies to discover and 40 new bosses to take on.
