New Hollow Knight: Silksong details from EDGE magazine

The latest edition of EDGE magazine is now with subscribers and it’s a bumper issue with the EDGE Awards 2020 and a number of high profile reviews. However, the big draw is a feature on the highly anticipated Hollow Knight: Silksong for Nintendo Switch and PC. While there are plenty of juicy details but sadly still no release date.

• Team Cherry’s next game will not be Hollow Knight related
• Team Cherry like Castlevania Lords of Shadow!
• Hornet will have the ability to perform tasks for NPC’s, keep track of tasks you’ve completed through noticeboards around Pharloom.
• Not replacing organic quest lines from the first Hollow Knight.
• Instead of rescuing Grub’s from jars, now you rescue fleas, that get themselves into little scraps.
• Hornet’s Crests are fully customisable, can be easily changed to reflect your play style.
• Trying to create a game that’s accessible to new players, but also matches the difficulty of the original game.
• ‘Tricks’ such as Sting Shards, Pimpillo Bombs, straight pins, can be crafted at benches from shards gathered from defeated enemies.
• The objective of the game is to climb to the Citadel, but there will be ‘many other lands’
• Hollow Knight composer Christopher Larkin returns
• Start off the game having lost many of your powers
• PC and Switch only at launch, release date TBA.
