From the little shown in this trailer, and some more gameplay footage, some story elements have come together.

While the art style is unmistakably Hollow Knight, all the settings shown are completely new. So there’s still heaps of mystery, but the player will quickly - even if you haven’t played Hollow Knight - get a basic idea of who Hornet is, her attitude, and her starting goals.” The trailer also highlights several key details the game will have, including 150 new enemies, new bosses, friendly NPCs and towns with quests to take, and tools to find and use. William Pellen was quoted in an interview regarding Hornet’s character stating, “She’s able to express her aims and intentions and stuff, which then means that you can’t really hide her intentions or objective from the player. She can speak, for one thing, giving her far more personality. Hornet is more than just a visual change from The Knight, too. The trailer, naturally, focuses on the new playable character we previously did battle with in Hollow Knight, Hornet. The reveal trailer for Hollow Knight: Silksong debuted in February 2019, showing off even more of the gorgeous animation and gameplay we saw in the first game. Hollow Knight: Silksong - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch Based on how successful the original game was across all platforms, we would think, or maybe just hope, they wouldn’t keep it off of PlayStation consoles permanently, but until we know more, those are the only places you can be sure to get it when it launches. That all depends on what, if any, deal Team Cherry has with Nintendo and Microsoft on being a console exclusive. However, the original Hollow Knight was initially only a PC game, later coming to Switch, and then finally hitting the PS4 and Xbox One consoles, so Silksong may have a staggered release as well. PlatformsĪt least for the time being, Hollow Knight: Silksong is only officially announced as coming to the Nintendo Switch, and PC, and will be a day one addition on Xbox Game Pass.

Despite leaks suggesting it should’ve come out already, we still have no idea when this game will finally arrive. It was first announced with a trailer in February 2019, but we can assume it began development right after the last DLC wrapped up since it was originally planned to be DLC itself.

Officially, we have no word on when Hollow Knight: Silksong will be released. The best upcoming Nintendo Switch games.
