![]() ![]() Surely a bit of a letdown to fans of the 2017 original, it seems that there’s just nothing new to show just yet. Nintendo did not show Hollow Knight: Silksong anywhere at its E3 2021 Direct. Where was Hollow Knight: Silksong at E3 2021? Hollow Knight: Silksong was nowhere to be found during the Nintendo E3 2021 Direct. Plenty of games got a share of the spotlight, but there was one noticeably missing. Here, the publisher and developer shared news and updates on video games coming to the Switch in the relatively near future.

Nintendo press materials list the game as coming “soon,” but that could mean anything. It hasn’t been that long since the first game, which came out for PC two years ago and for Switch last year. Silksong’s appearance at E3 surprised me and a lot of the people waiting on the line. Development studio Team Cherry certainly seems to know what they’re doing. Nothing felt off, the combat felt challenging and good, and the levels looked and sounded great. Navigation and combat are tough enough when playing a Hollow Knight game from the start, and they were sufficiently tricky in this Silksong demo. It’s never easy to jump into the middle of a game, but the demo felt good. One of the most striking differences is that Hornet can pull herself up ledges, so if you’re jumping over to a high platform and you’re just a little too low (or it’s just too high, depending on your perspective), she grabs it and climbs up. In the sequel, it seems like you can’t just heal a tiny bit. She’s got some sort of dart for ranged attacks and can heal if the player spends a meter that is filled by defeating enemies. In a later, tougher level filled with metal and volcanic rock, Hornet was more leveled up and could dash and do a strong special attack. We tried out both of the demo’s levels, including an early one in a green environment in which new protagonist Hornet only has her basic jump and attack. Its sequel, Silksong, already looks terrific, as you can see from the video we shot. Hollow Knight was a great modern execution of classic Metroid-style 2D exploration and combat, set in gorgeous, mostly subterranean areas. There’s been a long line of people queuing up at Nintendo’s booth every day here at E3 to play the sequel to Hollow Knight on the Switch. ![]()
