The sequel to the award-winning 2017 bug-based escapade,Hollow Knight: Silksongwas first projected as DLC for the original game, before the scope and scale of the project led Team Cherryto develop it as a fully-fledged sequel.Since then, it has become a bit of a running gag among the community, as a confirmed release date continues to evade the eager fans. This latest pushback will no doubt garner further sighs, but we can have faith in Team Cherry’s ability to deliver the goods when the fateful day arrives.
Hollow Knight: Silksongwill follow the adventure of the former antagonist-turned-friend Hornet, who finds herself a prisoner of the troubled kingdom of Pharloom. Utilizing her acrobatic abilities and deadly precision, Hornet embarks on a quest to escape the new world while learning of the reason behind her capture.
Hollow Knight: Silksongis currently in development for PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
