#Silksong release date switch full

“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,” the developer said. But the game quickly outgrew its original scope, the team wrote. Silksong was originally conceived as just another piece of downloadable content for Hollow Knight, which already received several post-launch expansions. Hornet will explore brand new worlds in Hollow Knight: Silksong.

The team also teased that Hornet will have different moves and abilities, likely earned over her adventures in the metroidvania style, as well as the ability to craft traps and “mechanisms.” The game will feature the music of Hollow Knight composer Christopher Larkin, who crafted some haunting, memorable tunes for the first game, and a more challenging “Silk Soul Mode” after players have completed the game. According to a blog post by indie studio Team Cherry, Hornet was kidnapped and taken to a “whole new kingdom haunted by silk and song.” Her journey through to that kingdom’s peak takes her past 150 new enemy types, and through vivid environments like “coral forests, mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors.” Silksong stars Hornet, the princess protector of Hallownest from the previous game, who provides some challenging fights against the main protagonist, the Knight.
