Hollow Knight Silksong Everything We Know About Team Cherrys Metroidvania

The long-awaited sequel to Team Cherry's beloved debut title, Hollow Knight, is almost as mysterious today as it was when it was first announced. Team Cherry has kept details concerning Hollow Knight Silksong close to the chest, teasing enemy designs and musical scores, but remaining coy on almost everything else. Below, we go over everything we know about Hollow Knight Silksong right now.

Silksong sees you play as Hornet, a fan-favorite character in the Hollow Knight community. A princess born out of wedlock as part of a magical pact, Hornet is both the daughter of the god-like ruler of Hallownest, the Pale King, and the spider queen of Deepnest, Herrah the Beast. Utilizing a needle and thread, Hornet regularly appears throughout the first Hollow Knight, first as a boss and later as an ally. Silksong will be the fans' first chance to play as her.

Release date

Silksong was originally penned for the first half of 2023. However, in May 2023, Team Cherry marketing and publishing representative Matthew Griffin announced that development was "still continuing" and that the game would be delayed. No new release date or launch window has since been revealed, so we can only hope that 2024 is finally the year we get to play Silksong.
