In these demos, we can see Hornet venturing into Moss Grotto and Deep Docks, two interconnected areas of the fallen kingdom of Lungitela.

Hollow Knight Silksong shows its power in new playable areas

• During the game, Hornet uses her agility and new abilities to solve ancient mysteries, advance through hostile biomes, and face creatures that will put our reflexes to the test. Gamescom attendees highlighted the fluidity of the controls and the richness of the graphical details, which come to life with hand-drawn animations and refined particle effects.

Another point that did not go unnoticed was the soundtrack by Christopher Larkin, which returns with new symphonic pieces and ambient melodies, accompanied by epic themes for boss battles. A music that, like in the original game, promises to be a fundamental part of the experience.

The title will arrive on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2, and the most notable aspect for Xbox players is that it will be available at launch on Xbox Game Pass.
