What's that I hear? Tinkly piano and the crashing of waves. Oh, it's Hollow Knight: Silksong's first major expansion, which devs Team Cherry have just announced will be coasting up to the shore some point next year. It's called Sea of Sorrow, and as such looks to contain plenty of somber staring into the splashy swell. Read more

Right now, Team Cherry's future is pretty unclear. There is some kind of Hollow Knight: Silksong DLC that'll be coming somewhere along the line, but understandably the developer is keeping their cards close to their chest in terms of what's actually next. They certainly do have some ideas on how they would expand Hollow Knight, i.e. by not making any direct sequels, much like how Silksong isn't one. But in a recent interview, Team Cherry spoke (ever so slightly) more openly about their own future and how the thing that might get in their way most is, well, death. Read more

Throughout my time playing Hollow Knight: Silksong, I mostly didn't actually miss the first game's not-so-titular Knight. I do love that bug, it's just Hornet made for quite a compelling protagonist (even if I think that the game has a number of issues that go further than just it being potentially unfairly hard). I doubt this will be a universal feeling however, which is where this handy mod where you can once again play as the Knight, but in Silksong, comes into play. Read more

There are challenge runs, and then there's "I'm playing Sekiro by hitting the Rock Band drums with my feet" -style absurdity. HandowShandowed on YouTube is indulging in the latter, with multiple video uploads showing them playing Hollow Knight and Silksong at the same time, synced to one controller... Read more.

After a few delays from its initial June 2015 release window back when it was funded via Kickstarter, the creepy-crawly Metroidvania Hollow Knight is set to launch on Steam at the end of the month. Tasking you as the titular Hollow Knight, players must delve into the kingdom of Hallownest to discover why villagers and explorers from your home have suddenly gone missing when exploring the remains of this once great civilization.

Hollow Knight came out eight years ago. I barely remember what happened last week let alone what a game I played almost a decade ago was about. With Silksong finally coming out, that's a problem—and maybe it is for you, too. Thankfully, YouTube has us covered, and you won't need several hours to get caught up... Read more.

In a 2017 interview about the making of Hollow Knight's map, designer William Pellen told me that Team Cherry "shied away completely" from describing the game as a metroidvania. Artist Ari Gibson added that they didn't want to "let a genre dictate" the decisions they made about Hollow Knight's design while they were making it... Read more.

Naturally, I'm pumped for Hollow Knight: Silksong. Honestly, I can't wait; it feels like it was announced a century ago. For those who never got around to playing the original, now would be the ideal time to grab it, because Humble Bundle is offering it at 50% off. I'm sure Silksong will be accessible to newcomers, but I always think it's nice to be filled in on all the lore and history before playing new games. Read the rest of the story...
