The trailer shows Hornet taking on a variety of foes in a number of different environments. Team Cherry has said that there will be “mossy grottos, coral forests, and shining citadels …” to explore. Things look just as frantic and deadly as ever before. You can see the game in action above.
Silksong was announced in 2019 and began life as DLC for Hollow Knight before becoming a larger project that ultimately turned into a full-fledged sequel.
