Everything you need to know about Hollow Knight: Silksong


Tiny independent developer Team Cherry — which consists of just three people — is continuing to work on its second game, but this wasn’t originally meant to be a new game at all. The small studio behind the critically acclaimed and commercially successful Hollow Knight (which released in 2017) was originally planning on just making some DLC content for the game.

Things didn’t quite pan out that way, as the development team realized what they wanted to do and that it wouldn’t fit in a DLC pack. Instead, it needed to be an entirely new game set in the same world. 

So enters Hollow Knight: Silksong, one of the most anticipated games in the entire industry. You’d be hard-pressed to see any discussion of an upcoming Xbox showcase or Nintendo Direct that isn’t inundated with speculation surrounding this game. With some tiny bits of news and updates since its unveiling, I’ve put together this article to answer some frequently asked questions that eager fans have. Here’s everything you need to know about Hollow Knight: Silksong.

In 2017, Team Cherry released Hollow Knight, a 2D Metroidvania game focused on moody vibes in the decaying kingdom of Hallownest, difficult combat encounters with monstrous bugs, and slow exploration that encouraged thoughtfulness and patience. The game was a huge hit, selling 2.8 million copies as of 2019, and receiving four update packs, Hidden Dreams, The Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood, and Godmaster.
