Eventually, due to the increased scope of the project Team Cherry decided to expand the DLC to a full sequel. Originally, Hornet was planned as a second playable character to be included in a downloadable content (DLC) pack for Hollow Knight, funded as a stretch goal in the game's Kickstarter campaign. Since announcement, per GameSpot, "updates have been sporadic and infrequent". Hollow Knight: Silksong was announced on 14 February 2019 in a trailer and with a developer diary video sharing more information about the game. Hornet is captured and taken to the unknown kingdom of Pharloom, which is said to be "haunted by Silk and Song", and must climb to the top to reach a shining citadel. 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 benches in the game, while Hollow Knight only has 41 benches. The includes quest system divided into four categories: Gather, Wayfarer, Hunt, and Grand Hunt which are requested from 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 how the character Hornet moves with a more acrobatic flair and how the character can heal themselves instantly. Hollow Knight: Silksong gameplay is 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.
