These beads are collected throughout the game and are used to purchase items which can help Hornet on her journey. The footage also goes in depth with the new currency for Hollow Knight: Silksong, which is native to Pharloom: rosaries. The area is called Deep Docks, and it’s stylized to look like an industrial setting with elevators and fiery coals.
At that moment, the demo ends, although it continues into a brand-new demo further in the game set in an entirely new area. Hollow Knight itself was famous for its incredibly rewarding difficulty spikes, which is one of the most engaging things I’ve found myself enjoying in that game.Īfter defeating the boss, Hornet ascends into a new area, where she meets a shadowy figure. It’s a fairly straightforward boss that’s meant to ease you into the game as opposed to just dumping new mechanics straight on you. The video then cuts to the game’s first boss fight, called the Moss Mother. The footage also shows the return of the iconic benches, in which Hornet can sit to rest and reclaim her health. In terms of overall movement, Hornet is also a lot more acrobatic and agile than the Knight, in addition to wielding a longer and sharper nail. For example, Hornet can edge grab, which is a mechanic notably missing from Hollow Knight.
We then see Hornet taking on the game’s first levels, which shows how different Hornet is in terms of both combat and traversal. Unlike Hollow Knight, which is a game about descending to the depths, Hollow Knight: Silksong wants you to go up to find the answers you’re looking for. It is covered with moss and other greenery. Hornet then finds herself waking at the bottom-most part of the game, called the Moss Grotto. An accident occurs in which a blinding light webs itself around a bridge and destroys it.
The game’s opening cinematic is shown, and you can see her in a cage being taken somewhere in this kingdom. This game follows Hornet, who is captured and taken against her will to an unknown, haunted kingdom, this one ruled by silk and song. Right off the bat you can already tell that Hollow Knight: Silksong is going for a similar atmosphere to the original Hollow Knight.
