Now, Hollow Knight: Silksong might lastly be rising from its cocoon. Last week, gamers solved a number of riddles to unveil a new NPC. Now they’ve accomplished it once more and Team Cherry have rewarded them with one more new good friend.
Here’s this new fella, a thieving little snitchbug:
As with final week’s riddle, gamers got a rhyme-y clue. The reply “grindle,” was additionally the password to a locked .zip file. Seems probably that’s this little fella’s identify. Also like final week, the above .gif and picture got here with some textual content:
“Hoho, free at last! Locked up in here much too long, we was! Nasty place to keep a poor little snitchbug! You’re smellin’ fancy though… Bet you got some nice shinies hidden in that cloak!”
A standard snitchbug, fixated on thievery. Though he has travelled the lengths of Pharloom, he’s seen most of it via the iron bars of cages and cells. Free ultimately, he’s taking full benefit of the dominion’s ailing state.
This sneaky thief will gladly take rosaries in alternate for snippets of data he has gathered, although his gossip is commonly of questionable worth.
In RPS’s Hollow Knight review, John Walker discovered it to be good, simply not fairly nearly as good as a few of the different tough-as-nails platformers from the identical 12 months. Imogen is throughout Silksong although. “I played the demo at EGX back in October, and it was wonderful how different yet familiar [Hornet’s] world felt to play in,” she said. “When it comes to combat, she has a much speedier moveset than the tiny Knight before her.”
Imogen hoped throughout final week’s riddle that it might be only the start of extra ARG-style reveals for the sequel. So far that’s coming true, although in fact it’s simply been a pair characters to date. Here’s hoping that Team Cherry proceed elevating the stakes, maybe with a correct new trailer.
