The Review
Silksong was announced in February 2019, originally as DLC for Hollow Knight before being expanded into a full standalone game. Players control Hornet, the knight-like character from the original game, in a new kingdom called Pharloom. Team Cherry has shown brief gameplay footage across multiple showcases, demonstrating faster, more aerial movement than the original - Hornet can use her needle and thread to rebound off enemies and surfaces in ways that suggest a higher-velocity take on the Metroidvania formula.
The game has become something of a cultural symbol for prolonged game development anticipation. Team Cherry has remained quiet about development progress for extended stretches. When it does release, it will face enormous expectations - the original Hollow Knight is widely considered one of the best games ever made in its genre. Pricing and final platform list are unconfirmed. Check back at launch.
