![]() 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. And now that's been solidified and built upon by the more recent trailer, with everything looking incredibly fluid. Silksong is probably one of the most anticipated games of recent years, and audiences will find it difficult to accept a sequel that is not at least as excellent and rich in content as its predecessor.As for Hollow Knight: Silksong's gameplay, initially the only footage we had to go off was from the debut trailer. In just 2 weeks, Hollow Knight had sold 250,000 copies on Nintendo Switch alone, even though the game had already been out for 2 years on other platforms. A cult game enjoyed by a very wide range of gamers, from veterans to casual gamers. Hollow Knight has instantly become a classic. There is also one last element that should not be overlooked: the pressure on Team Cherry's shoulders. ![]() Add to this the fact that one of the members of Team Cherry is now a fatherIt's easy to see why it took so long to get to play Hollow Knight Silksong. In addition, the COVID 19 pandemic has certainly had an impact on everyone's working conditions. As a reminder, Team Cherry consists of only 3 peopleThis is in contrast to other projects of this scale, which usually have teams of several dozen developers. All the more so as the conditions are very particular. This change of scale naturally imposed a whole new development cycle for the developers and long years of waiting for the fans. And so, almost two years to the day after the release of Hollow Knight, they unveiled the first trailer for Silksong, a game based entirely around Hornet. They had already designed so many new enemies and bosses that the idea of create a sequel, rather than just additional contentbegan to germinate. Time passed and the developers' ambitions grew. The DLC was to allow the player to redo the whole of Hollow Knight, but in control of Hornet, the "rival" of the player's knight. This was one of the goals when Team Cherry launched a Kickstarter to fund the game. Hollow Knight Silksong was originally intended to be Hollow Knight DLC. Why hasn't Hollow Knight Silksong been released yet? We had no news on 24 February 2023, but all is not lost for the anniversary of the licence. Fans are therefore expecting the game to be released in February, preferably with an announcement on the 14th and a release date of 24th February 2023. ![]() ![]() The announcement of Silksong and its very first trailer have been unveiled 14 February 2019. The first Hollow Knight was released on 24 February 2017. The most common theory regarding the release of Silksong is that it was Valentine's Day. That said, we are of course not immune to delays and postponements, but since we have not had any further information or denials from the developers, there is no indication that plans have changed. ![]() As this presentation took place on 12 June 2022, this means that Silksong should be released before 12 June 2023, at the latest. ![]()
