🌘 Hallownest — The World

Hallownest is an ancient underground kingdom of insects, now long dead — a once-great civilisation consumed by an infection and left in ruin, inhabited by the remnants of its citizens and the corrupted husks of those infected by the Radiance. The player controls the Knight, a small bug-like character of mysterious origin, exploring the ruins of Hallownest to discover what happened to the kingdom and their own connection to it.

The world design is Hollow Knight's greatest achievement. Hallownest is a completely hand-drawn world of extraordinary visual range: from the sunlit mushroom paths of Greenpath to the crystalline depths of Crystal Peak, the gothic towers of the City of Tears (where rain falls permanently indoors), the claustrophobic web-tunnels of Deepnest, the tranquil serenity of the Queen's Gardens, the ancient clockwork of the Kingdom's Edge and the luminous depths of the Abyss. Each area has a completely distinct visual register and atmospheric identity, and the transitions between them are managed through level design that makes the entire map feel like a coherent place.

The Characters — Inscribed in Insect Culture

Hornet: The Knight's counterpart and eventual ally, a spider-like being who defends Hallownest's ruins with precise needle-thread combat. Her questline spans the entire game and her role in the lore is revealed gradually to be more central than it initially appears. Hollow Knight: Silksong (announced 2019) stars Hornet as the protagonist.

Quirrel: A scholar who has been following the Knight's path through Hallownest, his final scene — sitting at the shore of the Blue Lake, gazing at the water, then gone — is cited by players as the most affecting moment in the game for its absolute simplicity.

Zote the Mighty: A self-declared great knight who requires repeated rescuing and provides absolutely no useful information or assistance. The game's comedy character, whose consistency of self-delusion is one of the finest sustained jokes in any game.

🌘 Silksong — The Wait

Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced in February 2019 and stars Hornet as the protagonist in a new kingdom above Hallownest. It is one of the most anticipated indie sequels in gaming history. As of April 2026, no release date has been announced. The anticipation for Silksong has, paradoxically, contributed to Hollow Knight's continued cultural relevance: players return to the original in preparation, discuss it online, and recommend it to new players.
