‘Hollow Knight: Silk Song’ Launches September 4
by Sage Ashford
After six years of anticipation, Team Cherry has announced the release date for Hollow Knight: Silksong in a new trailer. Originally meant to be DLC, Silksong transformed into a full game on its own, boasting 150 new enemies and 40 new bosses. In Silksong, players will take on the role of Hornet, the princess and protector of Hallownest, going on a pilgrimage to climb to the top of the kingdom.
