Hollow Knight: Silksong Reveal Trailer (PC/Mac/NSW; PS4 and Xbox One Later) - Now a full-blown game/sequel
- Thread starter Rodjer
- Start date
Good planning can make wonders. These guys seem disciplined,talented and eager to work hard. That's how the magic happens
The first game looks great at 720p on Switch, but I think it would still look nicer at higher resolutions. Hoping Silksong can do 1080p on Switch but it won't kill my excitement if it doesn't.
Better late than never but... Holy shit, it's a full sequel? Between Mario Maker 2 and this I wouldn't even need any other games this year...
Day one! Can't wait to see if they've listened to some feedback and fine tune some of the QOL aspects of the game without dumbing it down.

Great video! I'm very hyped now, and I haven't even started the first game!
Looks amazing and I haven't even beat the first one. Love how different this character's moveset is.
Played the first game on PC when it came out and just replayed it on Switch. Looking forward to the sequel.
If we're talking minor QOL updates to add to a sequel, I'd really like a quick boss retry option. It's the one thing that really would have made Hollow Knight so much better to me (it's still one of my favorite games ever, though).
I know the devs said they deliberately chose to not do this, in order to make each of your attempts at a boss feel more serious and meaningful. Personally, while I can see the logic behind that design decision, ultimately I disagree with it. If I'm going to have to retry a boss more than a dozen times to beat it, I'd really rather just cut out the wasted time between attempts.

Yeah, having Bonfires/Lanterns near boss fights in the Dark Souls/Bloodborne games didn't diminish how serious or meaningful they were, it just made them less frustrating to return to. It's actually why I still haven't completed Hollow Knight and only return to it for a few days and then shelve it for a few weeks - multiple 5 and 10 minute journeys to a boss only to die within a couple of minutes is the dictionary definition of a game not valuing player's time.
Uhh, you might want to collect 900 essence and talk to the Seer in the Resting Grounds.
I think you'll like what you find.
Just because i want to support them, i will get it for my Switch.
Edith: Ist it possible, that Hollow Knight is a million seller on Switch?

Each boss has a bench really near from it, sometimes hidden though.
The only one I can remember who was a pain to go back to was the hive boss.

I don't mind the fact that you had to travel back to the boss. Like others said it made each attempt more meaningful. What I would like to see would be more fast travel options. The Stags stations and trams were still too scattered to get around the whole map.
Was this already ingame on release because I never knew this existed.
how did i not find that giant slug monster in the pond in hollow knight?
Probably because it's hidden in an early game area (Greenpath) and you need a late-game item (Isma's Tear) to get to it.
Um, Traitor Lord?
I was so ready to use dreamgate for him! (In the end I didn't, though.)
This.
No, it came with the first or second DLC.
Can't wait. I never really beat HK, I beat the "final" boss, but I got sidetracked with life and didn't beat all the extra bosses or get the true ending. I put so much time and effort getting decent at the game that I don't want to start over after losing my pattern recognition of the enemies, awareness of the map, muscle memory, etc.
So this is perfect.

Not really, you can open a shortcut right before entering his lair, then the way is quite ok. (And I had to go it a lot until I finally gave in and cheesed him. *sob*)
We'll be lucky if it releases by 2025!
Most signs point to a release this year, the trailer already shows a lot of content, Team Cherry has a big base to work on top of, and I doubt they would release a trailer this early if they were sure it would be released the following year, I also doubt a ton we'll be on a year of info drought.
They're literally the only dev team that can create a game I'll blindly buy. After Hollow Knight I need no reviews, videos, pics or anything else.
Even Nintendo, with all their experience and dev philosophy, are amateurs in comparison to Team Cherry.
Long live Hollow Knight!

I woudn't go that far, but yeah, Team Cherry has proven themselves to be a great dev.
Well, I would. Just my opinion. I enjoyed HK more than BotW and Mario Odyssey in 2017 and I'm a huge Nintendo fan ever since 1989.
Everything you say is true, and maybe TC believes as you do but the amount of love and acclaim they got after giving us HK is on par with what Yacht Games got for their jaw-dropping over-delivering to backers. They must both feel pressure to keep up the magnificent work, majestic stallions that they are.
2019 is stacked with hits anyways. I don't mind waiting a bit more if it means they don't get white hairs crunching 12/5/365.
I think they would have. They knew people were waiting for news on the Hornet DLC and it's been a long while since they've said anything. I don't think they could have provided another update on it without establishing it's a full game, and I imagine a trailer was the best way to do that.
I'm not on Team 2019 or Team 2020 though. I have no idea.
I think they talked about their "talented coder" at some point. Maybe it was even in the dev update posted recently. They seem to have hired him around the time they started to work on the Switch version.
It's crazy nontheless, yeah. God I think I watched the Silksong trailer 20+ times by now.
Team Cherry is three people. Jack Vine joined at some point during development of the game, not sure if before or after the PC release.

Ah. Yep. Jack is new. Nice addition. The original pc builds had minor issues. Later builds have been solid and Switch version has been great.
It'll probably be fine. If it's story/lore you're worried about most of that was a bit difficult to grasp while playing the game and you could watch some YouTube videos to catch up if you Ilike (I recommend mossbag's channel).
This game looks like it will build off of the lore of the first, but will probably work well as an isolated experience. Of course I'm saying that without actually having played the game, so take my word with a pinch of salt or whatever.
