Hollow Knight: Silksong is the long-awaited sequel to one of the greatest metroidvanias of recent years, and you can play it here for free, directly in your browser, with no registration or download required. Please note that the game is quite large, around 2 GB, so loading may take some time depending on your connection and device.
This time, you play as Hornet, the princess of Hallownest and one of the most memorable characters from the first Hollow Knight. Captured and taken to the kingdom of Pharloom, she must climb through a vast world filled with insects, strange cities, forgotten temples, and dangerous enemies. The adventure is built as a true ascent, with that rare feeling of discovering a world that is hostile, delicate, and beautifully crafted all at once.
The game brings back everything that makes a great metroidvania: a large interconnected map, areas that are out of reach at first, and new abilities that gradually open up fresh paths. Every step forward matters, and every shortcut you uncover makes you want to explore a little further. Combat demands precision and composure. Boss fights are tough, sometimes brutal, and will clearly appeal to players who enjoy Souls-like challenges.
Silksong pushes the difficulty even further than its predecessor. Platforming sections can be devilishly tricky, enemies hit hard, and Hornet takes time to master with her fast movement, sharp attacks, and unique way of moving through the air. Xbox controllers are supported and strongly recommended to enjoy the experience at its best.
Winner of Best Action/Adventure Game at The Game Awards 2025 and nominated for Game of the Year, Hollow Knight: Silksong confirms Team Cherry’s talent. Its visual and musical atmosphere is stunning, its world feels alive down to the smallest details, and the adventure leaves a lasting impression. A major, demanding, and mesmerizing game, absolutely worth discovering if you enjoy platforming, exploration, and unforgiving combat.
