Hollow Knight: Silksong has been a long time coming, having been initially planned as an expansion to the original game that launched in 2014. You’ll play as Hornet, who did appear in the original. After plans to include Hornet in Hollow Knight DLC grew, the team decided to give them their own game. Hollow Knight: Silksong was later revealed in 2019.
Silksong looks set to be a decidedly different game to its predecessor. Hornet is a much more agile protagonist than the Knight from Hollow Knight. They can use Silk to power abilities, and can even craft weapons and traps.
Here’s what we know about Hollow Knight: Silksong so far, including a release date prediction, a look at gameplay, and all of the latest news.

Hey gang, just a quick update about Silksong.
We had planned to release in the 1st half of 2023, but development is still continuing. We're excited by how the game is shaping up, and it's gotten quite big, so we want to take the time to make the game as good as we can.
Expect…
