Based on public demos, previews, and developer interviews, here's what the community thinks about Hollow Knight: Silksong

Alex P.

I played the demo at PAX and was completely blown away. Hornet's movement feels so smooth and responsive. This is definitely going to surpass the original!

Maya K.

The art style from what we've seen so far is absolutely gorgeous. Team Cherry has outdone themselves with the environments and character designs. Can't wait for the full release!

Takashi R.

The music samples released so far are just incredible. Christopher Larkin is a genius. I've been listening to the teasers on repeat and can't wait to hear the full soundtrack!

Elena S.

The combat in Silksong looks so much more fast-paced and dynamic compared to Hollow Knight. Hornet's silk abilities create a whole new dimension to the gameplay. Day one purchase for me!

Carlos M.

I've watched every trailer at least 20 times. The boss designs we've seen so far are absolutely terrifying and beautiful at the same time. My only concern is that 2025 is still too far away!

Sophia L.

The fact that Team Cherry is taking their time to perfect this game makes me respect them even more. Quality over rushing, always. Based on what we've seen, this will be another masterpiece.
