Hollow Knight: Silksong

It was originally announced on 14 February 2019, as a sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight. Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs. The gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor, with an increased emphasis on speed. In a feature new to Silksong, Hornet will be able to craft weapons, tools, and traps from gathered materials. The checkpoint system from the first game will return in Silksong. Instead of using soul to heal like the Knight from Hollow Knight did, Hornet uses silk. This change was meant to increase the pace of the game, and allow the developers to make the game more difficult than Hollow Knight. Upon death, instead of leaving a Shade like the Knight did, Hornet instead leaves a bundle of silk that refills all 8 notches of silk in her bar when broken. Silksong will have an additional difficulty mode with permanent death called "Silk Soul mode" like the “Steel Soul mode” found in Hollow Knight. It will feature more differences from the base game than "Steel Soul mode" made in Hollow Knight, but it is unknown by how much. Hornet finds herself captured and taken to the unknown, haunted kingdom of Pharloom, which is said to be "haunted by Silk and Song." Hornet must climb to the top of this kingdom to reach a shining citadel in order to discover why she was brought to this strange kingdom. This contrasts with the progression of Hollow Knight, which involves descending into the depths of Hallownest and trying to stop the infection plaguing the Kingdom. Along the way, Hornet faces many powerful opponents including knights, warriors and assassins. Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced on 14 February 2019 in a trailer and with a developer diary video sharing more information about the game.
