Hollow Knight: Silksong is a fast, atmospheric action-adventure where Hornet explores Pharloom, unlock powers, battles fierce foes and uncovers ancient secrets.
Hollow Knight: Silksong returns players to hauntingly beautiful insect world, this time through the eyes of Hornet, the agile princess-protector captured and taken to the mysterious kingdom of Pharloom. Towering cities, mossy caverns, and mist-covered moors create a vast land shaped by silk, song, and danger. Every region hides secrets tied to Hornet’s past, her purpose, and the kingdom’s looming collapse.
As the Princess Knight, Hornet embarks on a perilous pilgrimage toward Pharloom’s shining citadel. New abilities, new enemies, and a deeper narrative expand the beloved Hollow Knight universe, offering both returning fans and new players a polished, challenging, and atmospheric adventure.
