The kingdom of Pharloom had barely settled into its rhythm when Team Cherry spoke again. It was the first week after Hollow Knight: Silksong finally escaped into the wild, and players were still counting their deaths against Moorwing. That first patch had arrived like a merciful hand, trimming the thorns for the early game. But the second patch, numbered 1.0.28626, carried a different message:...

I’ll be straight with you: in Hollow Knight: Silksong, tools are the name of the game. I learned that the hard way in the Moss Grotto, juggling Hornet’s Compass and a few defensive Crests and still feeling like I was one slot short of a full kit. Then I stumbled onto Eva’s chamber, and everything clicked. The game quietly lets you unlock a universal tool slot that applies...

It's been a while since Hollow Knight: Silksong finally crawled out of development hell and into players' hands, but the community is still digging up secrets like there's no tomorrow. Team Cherry spent more than seven years packing the kingdom of Pharloom with hidden details, and the latest discovery is the kind of thing that makes you laugh and cringe at the same time. The fate of one of the...

I recently revisited the Little Nightmares 3 demo in 2026, months after the full game landed on October 10, 2025. The first time I played, I was not ready for how quickly the demo drops you into its suffocating atmosphere. The second time, I still flinched. The opening 30 minutes take you through a slice of the Necropolis, a place that feels ancient and hungry. A Monster Baby stalks the area,...

Hollow Knight: Silksong hides more secrets than a termite's daydream, and as of 2026, Eva remains one of the most frequently missed NPCs in the game. Tucked inside a pod in Weavenest Atla, Eva initially appears as little more than a disembodied voice—easy to ignore if a player is laser-focused on bosses and platforming. Yet this peculiar encounter is a two-course meal: first, an upgrade...

Deep beneath the metallic spires of Pharloom, Hornet's journey turned away from the Citadel's main halls and into the quiet machinery of the Cogwork Core. There, an unmarked questline waited like a half-remembered hymn. It began not with a dramatic call to arms, but with the sound of bells. To uncover the full story of the Second Sentinel, she first had to gather the three scattered pieces of...

The Deep Docks of Hollow Knight: Silksong have never exactly been a wellness retreat, but by 2026 the Forebrothers Signis & Gron have become the area's fiery mic drop. The fight is a gorgeous two-boss ballet full of spears, lava falls, and the occasional flying rock with a grudge. The cruel part is that reaching the Forebrothers requires a surprise treasure hunt before the first hit even...

Last week, in my 2026 run of Hollow Knight: Silksong, I stood before Bellhart's Wishwall and accepted a Gather wish that sounded simple enough: find Silver Bells. The prompt mentioned tunnels above and below Bellhart, so I slid through one route, climbed out the far side, and found nothing. That first empty-handed trip felt like combing a spiderweb for dew at noon—everything looked right,...

I still remember the first time I stepped into Hallownest... Five years later, Pharloom pulls me back with the same magnetic dread. Let me tell you, the wait was agonizing, but boy, was it worth it. Team Cherry, a tiny team that built both Hollow Knight and Silksong, has crafted something monumental, and in 2026 it's finally in our hands. This is a game that began as DLC and blossomed into a...

Silksong is stuffed with enough optional sorrow to fill a quiver of needles, but few side stories hit as hard as the Green Prince quest. This melancholy mantis does not hand out a wish slip or spam a quest marker; he simply waits behind a locked door, radiating the kind of tragic energy that screams free me and I’ll make you cry later. For players wondering whether to spend a Simple Key...
