It will feature more differences from the base game than 'Steel Soul mode' did in Hollow Knight.

Silksong will have an additional difficulty mode with permanent death called 'Silk Soul' mode, akin to the 'Steel Soul' mode found in Hollow Knight. Team Cherry stated the game to be very large, featuring at least 165 new enemies and over 100 different checkpoints ('benches') throughout the game world, compared to only 41 in Hollow Knight. This includes a quest system divided into four categories titled Gather, Wayfarer, Hunt, and Grand Hunt, which are provided by the non-playable characters within the game. Sidequests will also be part of the game, and include a journal to keep track of them.

Some changes are made from the original, such as the player character moving with a more acrobatic flair or healing herself instantly. Hollow Knight: Silksong gameplay is set to be similar to the previous Hollow Knight title, featuring 2D platforming and combat.

It was announced on 14 February 2019 as a sequel to the 2017 game Hollow Knight, featuring the Hollow Knight boss character Hornet as the player character. Hollow Knight: Silksong is an upcoming video game developed and published by Team Cherry for Windows, macOS, Linux, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
