A small trace, a tiny crumb, a mere morsel of reports is all I’ve needed of Hollow Knight: Silksong since it was announced last year, and at this time I obtained it. Thanks to some intelligent followers over on the official Hollow Knight Discord server, Team Cherry have revealed an NPC that we’ll meet within the sequel to the sensible bug-filled metroidvania. All they needed to do was reply some riddles… to find out about.. a single… NPC… hm. So it’s not a brand new trailer or perhaps a launch date, however it’s information, and I’m unreasonably enthusiastic about it.
Without any additional ado, right here’s the brand new NPC in query:
Fans had to determine a sequence of riddles which in flip revealed a password to a protected zip file. The password was “huntress” so it’s doubtless that’s the title of the character we’re taking a look at right here. It wasn’t simply a picture and a gif we had been handled to, nevertheless. We obtained an outline and a little bit of sinister dialogue, too:
A towering previous predator, awaiting her kids to return. Though her consideration is fastened on her process, she appears to know a lot concerning the waning state of Pharloom, scorning the Citadel above and the hapless pilgrims that make their ascent in direction of it.
“Ssssppiiiderr, Your ssstench is strange yet similar… Have you come bearing the organs of others? Or would you offer your own? Gift your sshell’s warm insidess as ssweet feast for my brood’sss birth-meal?”
Sometimes I neglect how darkish Hollow Knight is. Just throwing is an informal, ‘Ah yes, hello traveller. Have you come to feed your insides to my children?’
It could be nice if this was the beginning of extra riddley reveals, it’s virtually like an ARG. I’m completely champing on the bit for extra Silksong, and this might be a pleasant option to preserve followers entertained till larger information comes out.
If you’re in the dead of night about Silksong, it’s a sequel to the much-loved Hollow Knight, besides on this one you play as Hornet, one of many characters you come throughout regularly within the first game. I performed the demo at EGX again in October, and it was fantastic how totally different but acquainted her world felt to play in. When it involves fight, she has a a lot speedier moveset than the tiny Knight earlier than her. She additionally has talents that enable her to traverse the world extra simply – like ledge grabbing! Ah, love a game the place you may leap at a ledge and never simply slide down it to splat on the bottom.
During this NotE3 season I had a shred of hope that we’d hear a little bit extra about it, however it appears a gif of this previous bug is the very best we’re getting for now. Rest assured if there are any extra titbits of reports, I’ll discover them. And I’ll write about them.
