![]() One of Hollow Knight’s standout features was the accompanying orchestral score, and the developers have confirmed that Christopher Larken, the award-winning composer of the original, will be returning to score Hollow Knight: Silksong as well. Team Cherry have described some of these new locations as, “coral forests, mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors” amongst many others, as seen in the trailer.

In the trailer, it’s apparent that Hornet is much more agile than The Knight of the first title. Hollow Knight: Silksong was originally slated as DLC for Hollow Knight, but the developers noted in a blog post yesterday that, “almost from the very start, Hornet’s adventure was intended to take place in a new land, but as we dove in, it quickly became too large and too unique to stay a DLC, as initially planned.” This does delay the game a bit beyond their original expectations, but they assure us that the wait will be worthwhile.

You can pick quests up from NPCs and track their progress via notice boards.In a pleasant surprise yesterday, Team Cherry dropped the trailer for Hollow Knight: Silksong, the upcoming sequel to 2017’s indie game hit, Hollow Knight.

There are also a slew of new characters to meet, all with their own little vocal traits that have become somewhat iconic for Hollow Knight NPCs. One boss battle looks like it takes place on a bed of flowers with the sun shining down, which could be a bit of a nod to the final fight in Sekiro and Bloodborne. As you'd expect, there are new enemies and bosses to fight. There's even what looks like a grappling hook tool.Īt the edges of the screen you can see pathways leading to other areas and ledges climbing further up into the kingdom.
