01Overview

Hollow Knight is a 2D metroidvania developed by Team Cherry and set in the fallen insect kingdom of Hallownest. Players control the mysterious Knight, who descends into the ruins to uncover what happened to the kingdom and the infection consuming its inhabitants. Exploration connects a wide range of areas filled with enemies, hidden paths, platforming challenges and powerful bosses. New movement abilities gradually open previously inaccessible routes, while Charms allow players to customize combat and exploration around different playstyles. Combat centers on precise melee attacks with the Knight’s Nail, supported by spells and other abilities unlocked throughout the journey. Hallownest’s story is revealed gradually through environmental details, characters and optional discoveries, rewarding players who explore beyond the main path.
