As you explore the depths of the town, you run into mindless creatures seized by a mysterious infection. You also run into the resident protector of the Hallownest ruins, a bug called Hornet.

Over the course of the journey, The Knight discovers what happened to the town and its inhabitants, as well the true nature of his own being. Depending on a few key actions the player may or may not take, ‘Hollow Knight’ features three distinct endings. Two subsequent expansions – ‘The Grimm Troupe’ and ‘Godmaster’ added new subplots, bosses and two new endings to the game. The immense popularity of ‘Hollow Knight’ eventually led to dedicated releases on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’, you play as Hornet, who we know as the princess protector of the ruins of Hallownest from the previous game. The sequel is also set in the entirely new insect kingdom of Pharloom. Pharloom is a haunted kingdom said to be ruled by “silk and song”. Hornet is brought to the kingdom by force, and she must now reach the shining citadel at the top of the city in order to unravel the real reason she was brought to Pharloom. While ‘Hollow Knight’ had you delve into the depths of the Earth, ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ will have you reaching for the skies. Explore, fight and survive as you ascend to the peak of a land ruled by silk and song.” The Steam page for ‘Hollow Knight: Silksong’ describes it as follows: “Discover a vast, haunted kingdom in Hollow Knight: Silksong!
