![]() ![]() So while there was no news about Hollow Knight: Silksong at the September 23 Nintendo Direct, it’s not the last major event before the end of the year. However, fans of the franchise might still hold out hope for an announcement at this year’s Game Awards. Showing more content for this highly anticipated game during a Nintendo Direct is the obvious move for Team Cherry. The team had previously revealed that there would be no news of Silksong at E3 2021, so it’s not too surprising that there’s nothing to show three months later.īut what makes Silksong’s absence so obvious is that the game is set to launch on Nintendo Switch before other platforms. Team Cherry is a small, indie developer stationed in South Australia, which means progress takes a bit longer than what players might expect out of larger, triple-A studios. Players were hoping to hear more about it during the September 23 Nintendo Direct, and while there were a lot of games announced, there was no update to Silksong.Īs for why Hollow Knight: Silksong wasn’t covered in the Nintendo Direct, the simple answer is that Team Cherry wasn’t ready to show anything just yet. Hollow Knight: Silksong was first announced back at the start of 2019, over two years ago now, and since then, very little has been made public about the sequel. Unfortunately, the game did not make an appearance during the 40 minute presentation, which leads players to wonder where was Hollow Knight: Silksong and what’s going on with its development? Where was Hollow Knight: Silksong at the Nintendo Direct? Fans have been waiting a long time for more news on this title, and there was hope we'd get to hear more about Silksong during the September 23 Nintendo Direct. Hollow Knight: Silksong is in development for Switch.Hollow Knight: Silksong is the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 2017 hit, Hollow Knight. It may not be playable yet, it may not have the heaviest marketing campaign either, but it does have a lot of information out there that, hopefully, can tide fans over until its next showing. Hollow Knight: Silksong is real and tangible. Wanting something new and concrete is understandable, hoping for a release date soon is okay, but for fans of the franchise, all of this is a good thing. It’s easy to see Hollow Knight: Silksong for what it is because it has put a lot of itself out there. There is plenty of information out there to whet the appetite of Hollow Knight lore lovers, including plenty of confirmed features that will manifest in the game. That’s not really the case for Hollow Knight: Silksong, though. It may not even make it to another showcase this year, and with several games being announced so early in development, information drought is a common issue nowadays. It wasn’t at E3, it wasn’t at the recent Nintendo Indie Direct, and it wasn’t at Gamescom. RPG elements are also tossed in with all of this, moreso than Hollow Knight, and they could end up being some of the biggest changes.Įven considering all of this, fans are wanting and waiting to learn more, hoping it is at event after event. Instead of using soul to heal like in Hollow Knight, Hornet will use silk in Silksong. Furthermore, while it is somewhat similar to Hollow Knight, Silksong’s fast travel seems rather unique- the Bell Beast. Hornet can craft weapons and tools, with the game also replacing the Geo currency with Rosary Beads. These quests, as it stands, are broken down in Hunt, Gather, Wayfinder, and Grand Hunt quest lines. ![]() There’s also a collection of NPCs, which will give Hornet quests. There are several Hollow Knight: Silksong bosses already confirmed, ranging from Lace to Steel Assassin Sharpe and more. Gameplay will be largely similar, with plans for over 165 different enemies. A few of the smaller areas of Hollow Knight: Silksong’s Pharloom have also been confirmed and detailed. A few details about Pharloom are known even, such as it having a shining citadel, being ruled by “Silk and Song,” being based around faith and pilgrimage, and having a gilded pin as part of its traditional weaponry. Hornet, captured and taken to Pharloom, must climb to the very top of this kingdom to discover the mystery of her being brought here. Originally a DLC for Hollow Knight, Silksong became so massive that it was only right it becomes its own game. ![]()
