Hollow: Knight: Silksong actually began development as another DLC chapter for the original Hollow Knight. Perhaps this is an opportunity to tell more stories outside of the main plot of Silksong. These sound a lot more fleshed out than in the original Hollow Knight, as Silksong actually allows you to keep track of all your side quests in a journal. Said to be “haunted by Silk and Song” according to developer Team Cherry themselves, Silksong’s basic plot puts Hornet right at the bottom of this new kingdom, and tasks her with ascending to the top of the kingdom and reaching a shining citadel to find out the truth behind her kidnapping.Īdditionally, there’s also going to be side quests for Hornet to take on. 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.
As for Hollow Knight: Silksong's gameplay, initially the only footage we had to go off was from the debut trailer.
