Hollow Knight: Silksong

''Hollow Knight: Silksong'' is a 2025 Metroidvania video game developed and published by Australian independent developer Team Cherry. The sequel to ''Hollow Knight'' (2017), it was released on 4 September 2025 for Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.

''Silksong'''s story follows Hallownest's former princess-protector, Hornet, after she is captured and transported to the unfamiliar land of Pharloom. Gameplay sees the player navigating through the large, interconnected areas of this kingdom, where they must battle enemies, traverse platforming challenges, and complete quests using various skills, tools, and movement mechanics. Originally planned as downloadable content for ''Hollow Knight'', the project grew in scope over time, prompting Team Cherry to announce in February 2019 that it would instead become a full standalone sequel.

The game received critical acclaim for its graphics, soundtrack, story, world design, and gameplay, though its high difficulty was met with mixed reviews. On its first three days of release, it had over 5 million players, including 1 million playing with Xbox Game Pass and 3 million with Steam. Provided by Wikipedia
