Hollow Knight: Silksong launched for Windows and consoles
Adelaide-based game studio Team Cherry has published Hollow Knight: Silksong. The long-awaited followup to the 2017 metroidvania title is available for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, PS4 and PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Series X|S consoles. The PC edition for Windows through Steam and GOG.com is verified for use with the Steam Deck.

Hollow Knight: Silksong invites players to control the character Hornet, who served as an antagonist in the first game. The princess-protector of the ancient insect kingdom of Hallownest has been captured and must find her way through the perilous coral forests, mossy grottos, gilded cities and misted moors of the kingdom of Pharloom.

The 2D platformer is designed by Ari Gibson, William Pellen, and Jack Vine. Also returning for the sequel is music composer Christopher Larkin, whose Bandcamp page hosts the Original Soundtrack. Previously released preview track "Lace" features energetic violin accompaniment, bristling with the intensity of a chase sequence, while the sparse piano instrumentation of "Bonebottom" complements exploration gameplay.


From the product page:
Play as Hornet, princess-protector of Hallownest, and adventure through a whole new kingdom ruled by silk and song! Captured and brought to this unfamiliar world, Hornet must battle foes and solve mysteries as she ascends on a deadly pilgrimage to the kingdom’s peak.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award winning action-adventure. As the lethal hunter Hornet, journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts and uncover ancient secrets tied to your nature and your past.
