Info-starved Hollow Knight fans eager for fresh details on developer Team Cherry’s highly anticipated sequel, Hollow Knight: Silksong, now have a tiny new morsel to cling onto, with a recent community challenge having relinquished its reward in the form of an NPC reveal.
Silksong, which was unveiled early last year for Switch and PC, started life with the goal of adding a second playable DLC character to Hollow Knight, but its sheer ambitious scale eventually saw Team Cherry electing to turn it into a standalone title instead.
Given that it promises another bout of gorgeously moody Metroidvania-style action very much in line with its critically acclaimed predecessor – albeit with a new protagonist, Hornet – fans have been understandably anxious to learn more.

Since Silksong’s initial reveal, Team Cherry has offered a smattering of new information (and a short playable demo did the rounds at various game events last year), but additional details have been increasingly slow to emerge. At this point, then, any new morsel is welcome, and Team Cherry has finally delivered with a tease of a new NPC character – a “towering old predator” who seems likely to be named The Huntress.
