Hornet has a lot more movement abilities like dashing and sprinting, and she can heal faster than The Knight. You play as Hornet instead of The Knight from Hollow Knight.

Silksong revamps Hollow Knight's formula with a suite of new mechanics and changes: You'll face over 150 different types of enemies and many bosses as you explore Metroidvania-style across a large map.

Like Hollow Knight, Silksong is a side-scrolling action game, with some easy Dark Souls comparisons in punishing bosses, encounters, and death mechanics.

It covers everything from the intro to the first boss, and you can get a good look at some of the new abilities that Hornet has. If you want to see full-on gameplay, you can check out the Nintendo video that features 20 minutes of Hollow Knight: Silksong. They'll all be scattered in the world and in the new towns you can visit to resupply and rest as you explore Pharloom. There are also a slew of new characters to meet, all with their own little vocal traits that have become somewhat iconic for Hollow Knight NPCs. One boss battle looks like it takes place on a bed of flowers with the sun shining down, which could be a bit of a nod to the final fight in Sekiro and Bloodborne. As you'd expect, there are new enemies and bosses to fight. There's even what looks like a grappling hook tool.Īt the edges of the screen you can see pathways leading to other areas and ledges climbing further up into the kingdom. It's a fresh take on the familiar, with Hornet dashing toward enemies and hack them apart. It opens on Hornet and immediately bursts into action. The debut trailer for Hollow Knight: Silksong still sells it best. Check out Hollow Knight: Silksong's debut trailer
