Hollow Knight: Silksong – Everything We Know So Far

The whispers have echoed through Hallownest’s hushed halls for what feels like an eternity. Silksong, the sequel we’ve craved, the adventure we’ve dreamt of, remains shrouded in mystery. But even in the shadows, the gleam of its silken threads promises a Metroidvania experience unlike any other. Let's be frank, the release date is the Hollow Knight community's favorite guessing game. While the initial whispers of early 2023 have faded, Team Cherry's commitment to quality remains unwavering. The expanding scope, though a source of agonizing waits, hints at a game bursting with content, a meticulously crafted world begging to be explored. Patience, young hunters. The wait, however long, will be worth it.

 

Platform Pilgrimage: Hornet Graces All

Fear not, for wherever you choose to hunt, Hornet will be there. Silksong is spreading its silken wings across:

  • Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One: Prepare for next-gen bug-splattering action.

  • PlayStation 5 & 4: Sony faithful, your time is nigh.

  • Nintendo Switch: Perfect for slaying bugs on the go.

  • PC (Steam, GOG, Humble Store): Master race, sharpen your needles.

And the cherry on top? Day one access on Xbox Game Pass, granting subscribers instant entry into Pharloom's vibrant embrace.

The Knight's silent vigil is over. Hornet, the stoic protector of Hallownest, takes center stage in Silksong. Abducted and whisked away to the mysterious kingdom of Pharloom, she begins her journey at the bottom, facing an arduous climb to a gleaming citadel. The truth behind her captivity lies at the summit, woven into the very fabric of this strange new land. But Pharloom offers more than just a vertical ascent. A vastly expanded side-quest system, tracked through a detailed journal, invites you to unravel the kingdom's hidden narratives and forge connections with its enigmatic inhabitants.

 

Gameplay: A Needle-Sharp Evolution

Silksong builds upon the foundations of its predecessor, retaining the fluid combat and challenging platforming while injecting a dose of acrobatic adrenaline. Hornet isn't just a new protagonist; she's a new way to play. Key gameplay metamorphosis:

  • The Dancing Assassin: Hornet's movements are a symphony of deadly grace. Flip, leap, and dash through the air, weaving a web of destruction around your foes.

  • Healing on the Hop: No more static healing. Hornet replenishes her health on the move, fueled by her Silk meter, adding a layer of strategic finesse to every encounter.

  • The Weaver's Toolkit: Scavenge materials and craft a diverse arsenal of tools, weapons, and traps to turn the tide of battle.

  • A Carnival of Creepers: Over 150 new enemies await, each a unique and grotesque creation of Pharloom's strange ecosystem. Prepare to face bosses that will test your reflexes and your sanity.

 

Trailers: Mere Glimpses into a Kingdom of Secrets

Two trailers have offered fleeting glimpses into Silksong's vibrant world:

  • The 2019 Reveal: A first taste of Hornet's agile combat and the breathtaking beauty of Pharloom.

  • The E3 2022 Showcase: A deeper dive into gameplay, showcasing refined mechanics, new bosses, and the diverse landscapes you'll traverse.

 

From Humble Beginnings to a Standalone Saga

Silksong's journey from DLC to full-blown sequel is a testament to Team Cherry's commitment to their craft. The extended development, while testing our patience, promises a game of unprecedented depth and scope. The silence surrounding Silksong's release date is a constant hum of anticipation. But one thing is certain: when Hornet finally arrives, she will weave a tale of adventure unlike any other. Prepare to be entangled in the beauty and brutality of Pharloom. The wait continues, but the legend is already being spun.
