Hollow Knight: Silksong Reveal Trailer

Is the name Hollow Knight related to the story/character and their quest for "something"?

By the way game is free to backers:

Thanks to the incredible support of players and Kickstarter backers, what started out as a tiny game jam idea has become a game bought and played by over 2.8 million people!

As a backer, your support made this happen, so you’ll of course be receiving your copy of Hollow Knight: Silksong 100% free.

That looks absolutely amazing, love the new environments, characters and bosses. Hollow Knight is one of my favourite games ever. Reminds me, I still have the last quarter of the game to go, the difficulty ramps up pretty steeply :D

Day 1. Hell, I might even pre order for once just to show support.

Hollow Knight is easily one of my favourite games of the gen
 
As a fan of all things Metroidvania, I expected to like Hollow Knight, but I was shocked at the quality of it. Especially considering it is Cherry's initial effort with such a tiny team PLUS all the post game launch support. The fact that they are giving the sequel gratis to og backers is also an amazing move, what more could you possibly ask for?
I've seen a switch trailer too, but didn't see any platform logos anywhere on the trailer. I'm wondering if Epic will snag it up...

I played Hollow Knight just last December on PS4 and instantly became one of my favorite Metroidvanias ever (I liked it so much that I bought it on XB1 also)

Day 1 (well, when it's released on PS4/XB1)

Great trailer BTW. Hornet looks super fun to play as. GIT GUD!

These guys deserve every bit of success thrown at them. Day one.

I loved my time with the OG Hollow Knight, even if it is longer than it really needs to be. However, the fact that this is a full on sequel and not simply an expansion or DLC is beyond my expectations. Bloody fantastic work and I can't wait to get the game.

Now lets please get a LRG or Physical version started in production! I want this game on my shelf.

Certainly don't think this is going to be the case, it implies there's still a lot of work to do. In that case, having a release date at all would seem pointless.
 
This looks FUCKING INCREDIBLE. I'm at 76% completion with Hollow Knight, suffering the difficulty spikes but enjoying what is the BEST Metroidvania ever made. The second game, with my favourite character from the current game is DAY ONE. So much hyped for it.

But, please, I beg for an art-book with a compilation of the both games' art. Surprised as to why they didn't release one yet.

I'm psyched for more Hollow Knight. The first game was amazing and a perfect fit on Switch.

The damn original is too hard! I can’t beat the second boss 😭😭😭😭 Plus this trailer looks like a damn spoiler.

Silksong Development Progress
Right up front: We’re still going, building this (very large) game. Our desire to keep building, and building, and building sure hasn’t diminished, but our timelines have stretched a bit both to account for all that exciting new stuff and to tie up everything else.
As a small progress tease: You may remember for Silksong we promised over 150 all new enemies. To us, that always seemed a conservative estimate, and it turns out we were right! Here are just a few foes that came to life this week, enemy number 163, 164 and 165.

Aahhh you got me all excited! Team Cherry know how to beast out a game. If this is half as good as Hollow Knight, we're in for a real treat.
 
Yay, spending hours of backtracking into the same looking caves where I can't see shit. No thanks.

I can see why some like it but it's a game with frustrating level design. It's too big for it's own good, character progression sucks where it take forever to get upgrades sometimes. Combat gets monotonous.

So what is actually good about this game? It's most overrated tr..... I've tried in a long time.

I tried and quit the original 5-6 times, the 7th time I found it on gamepass and there was a game drought so I played it and stuck to it.
