Team Cherry announced that rather than the “DLC” they’d been teasing this, they were actually releasing a “full-scale sequel”!
As you can see from the trailer, in Hollow Knight: Silksong, you’ll play as Hornet, a character that also featured in the original Hollow Knight title.
The developers mentioned that this wasn’t originally a sequel but became “too large and too unique to stay a DLC”, which is why we’ve had to wait so long for it.

The will initially release on PC, Mac, Linux, and the Nintendo Switch when but the developers have hinted that it may later appear on other platforms.
It’ll include a new kingdom complete with new enemies, quests, moves, weapons, tools, and a challenge mode for those who complete it.
We can’t wait!
