Hollow Knight: Silksong

Experience Hollow Knight: Silksong as Hornet battles deadly foes, explores a vast kingdom, and uncovers secrets that guide her toward the summit.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the long-awaited sequel to the award-winning 2D action-adventure Hollow Knight. This time, players take on the role of Hornet—an agile, needle-wielding princess-protector who has been captured and taken to the mysterious kingdom of Pharloom. From moss-covered caverns to ornate cities and mist-filled moors, Pharloom is a land filled with beauty, danger, and secrets waiting to be uncovered.

Acrobatic Action & Seamless Exploration

Silksong enhances the core mechanics of Hollow Knight with faster movement and more flexible traversal. Hornet moves with precision and agility, allowing players to overcome obstacles, evade attacks, and strike enemies fluidly. Her needle and thread serve as the foundation of combat, enabling her to attack, bind foes, and launch herself across wide gaps.

Combat encourages proactive play. Striking enemies fills Hornet’s Silk gauge, which she can use for rapid healing and powerful abilities, giving battles a fast, rhythmic flow. The world is designed for repeated exploration, with each region containing hidden paths, alternate routes, and secrets that gradually reveal the kingdom’s downfall.
