Hollow Knight: Silksong - Gameplay Trailer. Given how very excellent the original Hollow Knight was, that's still more than enough to warrant excitement, and Switch, Xbox, and PC players have been able to rest easy knowing Silksong would - eventually, at least - be available on their system to play. Even now, some three and a half years later, specifics around Silksong remain limited, but we do at least know it'll offer a twist on its predecessor's non-linear exploration, platforming, and combat thanks to a new protagonist, Hornet, with her own distinct abilities. Hollow Knight: Silksong has, of course, been a long time coming, with Team Cherry first announcing the game all the way back in February 2019. Its feverishly anticipated sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, has finally been confirmed for release on PS4 and PS5. There will also be a new perma-death mode, called “Silk Soul Mode” that mimics the features of “Steel Soul Mode”, although allegedly with bigger changes from the base game of Hollow Knight: Silksong.There's good news for PlayStation-owning fans of developer Team Cherry's sublime Metroidvania, Hollow Knight. Unlike the original Hollow Knight’s use of soul to heal, Silksong will use silk, leaving behind a bundle of silk when dying. Throughout the game, Hornet will encounter up to 150 new enemies, and new locations across the Kingdom of Pharloom, as they climb to reach its citadel. Hollow Knight but as the story and game grew more and more ambitious, Team Cherry announced it would instead be a fully-fledged sequel. Hollow Knight: Silksong was originally intended to be DLC for the original Hollow Knight, but as the game grew both in ambition and size, it was revised into a fully-fledged sequel starring a previous antagonist, Hornet. However, Matthew Griffin’s tweet also mentions “ We’re excited by how the game is shaping up, and it’s gotten quite big”, suggesting Team Cherry will be increasing the map and game size from the original Hollow Knight’s approximate 41-hour runtime. Prior to the May tweet announcing its delay, the last news received was almost a full year before when the trailer dropped at Xbox & Bethesda’s Showcase. Team Cherry has been remarkably tight-lipped about the development and content of Hollow Knight: Silksong.
