Hollow Knight: Silksong

Announced in 2019 and delayed so long it became a running joke, Silksong finally arrived in September 2025. You play Hornet, a nimble bug warrior captured and carried to an unfamiliar kingdom called Pharloom, and you fight your way up through it. It is a sequel to Hollow Knight, a hand-drawn action platformer where you explore a sprawling map, find new abilities, and beat brutal bosses. Hornet moves faster than the first game's knight, heals differently, and crafts tools instead of buying charms, so the rhythm is more aggressive. Same studio, same dark fairy-tale art, a bigger and meaner world.
