Hollow Knight: Silksong

Team Cherry's long-awaited sequel to the beloved indie Metroidvania Hollow Knight stars Hornet, the fierce daughter of the Pale King, as she fights through a vast new kingdom called Pharloom. Announced in 2019, Silksong spent years near the top of "most anticipated" charts despite almost no new information being released — a testament to the extraordinary goodwill earned by the original game. It finally released in September 2025 to strong sales, with over 150 new enemy types, a full orchestral score, and a world far larger than its predecessor.
