Over the previous few weeks, the builders of the wonderful metroidvania Hollow Knight have been revealing new characters that gamers will meet within the upcoming sequel, Silksong. To uncover these NPCs, followers have needed to reply riddles, and to this point, we’ve seen the rather creepy Huntress and the sneak-thief Grindle. Last evening, nonetheless, a brand new challenger approached. Meet Seth, an historic guardian of a spot known as the Citadel, who was designed with and named after a teen who lately handed away.
Seth was a big Hollow Knight fan who, due to the Marty Lyons Foundation (an analogous scheme to Make A Wish), acquired to fulfill Team Cherry and assist them design a brand new NPC for Silksong. Though Seth received’t be round to play Hollow Knight: Silkong, he’s now immortalised as a courageous and vital warrior in certainly one of his favorite games.
Here’s the character’s description and a few gifs of him in motion:
“The Voice… has chosen me.”
An everlasting protector, ready amidst tangled roots on the base of the Citadel. He guards a secret lengthy forgotten and can assault any who stray too shut.
Imbued with stamina and power past a traditional bug, he strikes up shut or from a distance with blinding pace. With unwavering devotion, this historic guardian will combat till the very finish, and past.
Many of the Citadel’s caste have fallen to this lethal warrior. Those who encounter him ought to flip again, or else put together for a vicious battle.
The extra gifs I see of Silksong, the extra I realise how rather more tough this game appears to be like than its predecessor. Perhaps tough is the mistaken phrase – I believe quicker sums it up higher. Seth appears to be like like he’s acquired some vicious and speedy assaults in that gif above, I can already think about he’ll be a boss combat I’ve to make my approach to greater than as soon as.
That’s not the top of the character information, nonetheless – they really did one other riddle reveal final week that I haven’t had an opportunity to be enthusiastic about but. Here’s the character – or characters – that had been found, a caravan of travelling fleas.
I’m a giant fan of those little guys, they nearly seem like performers of some type. From the sounds of their quote and brief description under, they really may be Silksong’s model of Hollow Knight’s grubs – the lovely little caterpillar creatures you discover and rescue in hidden spots throughout the Hallownest.
“You’re a traveller? A kindred spirit! We hear it’s good luck for wanderers to meet on an unfamiliar path. It’s luck we need too, for these roads are haunted and danger snarls at us from every dark corner. Our caravan has only a single, humble wish, but it seems now as though it will never be granted…”
A pleasant band of travellers trekking the damaging roads of Pharloom searching for one thing earlier. Masters of the journey, their caravan boasts a bounty of flavourful meals, highly effective drinks and a few stunning facilities. They want to collect the playful younger fleas scattered throughout the dominion, however this land is way extra harmful than they thought.
Unfortunately, that is the top of our Hollow Knight: Silksong information for now. The devs mentioned over on the discord that this sequence of riddles was basically a alternative for a weblog post-style announcement in regards to the new NPCs, however it’s been a pleasant manner for followers to get entangled nonetheless. They additionally say they’ll probably announce the game’s launch date in a extra “traditional” format, however nonetheless haven’t mentioned precisely when that might be.
In the meantime, I like to recommend trying out the Hollow Knight Discord if you wish to preserve updated with all of the Silksong information and dialogue. It’s a stunning neighborhood and all their fanart and hypothesis has been a superb approach to get my Hollow Knight repair. As for me, I’ll be watching the Silksong Steam page, ready patiently for any new information to seem.
