About Hollow Knight
Hollow Knight is a 2D action adventure set in Hallownest, an ancient, ruined kingdom beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth. You explore its interconnected caverns, cities and wastes, fight tainted creatures, meet bizarre bugs and uncover old secrets.
Explore Hallownest
Hallownest includes forgotten highways, overgrown wilds, ancient cities and twisting caverns, each with its own creatures and characters. The world is expansive and open, so you choose which paths to take and which enemies to face. Painted landscapes with parallax create depth in the side-on world, while traditional frame-by-frame animation brings its characters and creatures to life.
You can chart your travels with maps and mapping tools, including compasses, quills and pins. The Dream Nail lets you enter the minds of characters and enemies to discover another side of them. A score composed by Christopher Larkin accompanies the journey, reflecting the majesty and sadness of a fallen civilisation.
Fight and grow
Dodge, dash and slash your way through enemies using tightly tuned 2D controls. Gain spells, strength and speed, leap on ethereal wings, dash in a blazing flash and blast foes with fiery Soul. Charms are ancient relics that grant unusual powers and abilities, letting you choose which to equip.
The kingdom holds over 130 enemies and 30 bosses, including ferocious beasts and ancient knights. You can track the foes you encounter in the Hunter's Journal. Completing Hollow Knight unlocks Steel Soul Mode, a further challenge.
