![]() ![]() The obvious one is that it will not scare off people who might not have heard of Hollow Knight before but still decided to buy Silksong.Īnother reason might be that, by not assuming the player knows anything about Hollow Knight, it might be easier to account for the different endings of the first game. ![]() While some fans might feel discouraged that Team Cherry is not making new players go through Hollow Knight before diving into Silksong, there are plenty of good reasons to do so. Hornet's ability to speak might make new players become familiar with the game much faster, and even build rapport with the main character even without knowing Hornet's backstory. ![]() While Silksong will obviously maintain a connection with Hollow Knight, Hornet's adventure and the way she will interact with everyone at Pharloom are very different. The longer answer goes into more detail about what makes Hollow Knight: Silksong different from Hollow Knight. RELATED: Team Cherry Teases Non-Hollow Knight Game Coming After Silksong While there are not many details available about Hornet's conversations in Silksong yet, it could be that Hornet's dialogues will reveal more information about the lore to players in a more straightforward, accessible manner. However, as seen in Hollow Knight: Silksong, Hornet does talk, which means fans will get to see more of her personality in the new game. Interactions in Hollow Knight required the Knight to just listen to other characters. Consequently, enemies need to be bigger so that they can match Hornet's capabilities.įinally, Hornet has a small but significant difference from the Knight: She has a voice. Since the main character is considerably taller, the whole map needs to accommodate Hornet's size so it does not have a claustrophobic feel to it. This might seem like obvious information, but it does have an impact on how the game had to be designed. In general, it seems like the gameplay will differ a little from Hollow Knight, meaning there might be a bit of a learning curve, even for players who got through Team Cherry's first game.Īnother thing that has been explicitly mentioned by Team Cherry is the fact that Hornet is bigger than the Knight. It also seems like Hornet can use her nail to move through the air like some sort of grappling hook. Additionally, Hornet can jump in the air in more ways than just the usual dash the Knight had. Hornet can be seen walking, running, and sprinting, which is quite an upgrade from the Knight's one-speed walk. One of the first things fans noticed from the trailer and the demos is that Hornet is much more quick and dynamic than the Knight. Lastly, instead of leaving a shade behind one death like in Hollow Knight, Hornet will leave a cocoon with silk. These projectiles might be part of the tools that will replace the charms from Hollow Knight. Another difference is that, aside from her nail, Hornet seems to have the ability to shoot daggers. Hornet needs to bind herself in silk to heal.Īnother huge difference regarding this is that binding takes less time than focusing and it can be done mid-air, but it costs Hornet an entire spool of silk to bind. While the Knight focuses soul to heal, it seems like in Silksong, silk and soul are inseparable. However, even these change a bit from one Hollow Knight game to the other. There are definitely some similarities between Hornet and the Knight such as the ability to heal themselves or using nails as weapons.

Of course, this is due to the lack of official news, but it's also the complexity of Hollow Knight lore that requires fans to pay attention to everything. Fans have been studying in detail every single piece of information they can get their hands on. Luckily for fans, Team Cherry has shared some details about Hollow Knight: Silksong together with the game's trailer, providing more than enough info to start speculation. While there is some straightforward information spread throughout the game, most of the time players need to be paying attention to little details, and have a good ability to connect the dots, in order to understand the story. The latter has been quite studied by fans everywhere, who have taken up the task of deciphering the backstory of Hallownest. Hollow Knight has become one of the most beloved games in the Metroidvania subgenre because of its gameplay, design, and lore. It has been a long time since the last news about Hollow Knight: Silksong was released, but there is a lot of material to dissect about Team Cherry's second game. ![]()
