Hollow Knight: Silksong follows Hornet through Pharloom, a towering kingdom shaped by silk, song, and forgotten powers. Captured and carried far from Hallownest, she climbs through haunting landscapes, hostile cities, and fragile sanctuaries while chasing her own origins and purpose.

Moreover, this journey reshapes the familiar formula with sharper mobility, faster healing, and a stronger focus on acrobatic combat. New enemies, mysteries, and cultures push Hornet forward as each step reveals fragments of her past. Begin the ascent and uncover the truth behind the silk.
