The checkpoint system from the first game will return in Silksong. Hornet will be able to craft weapons and tools from materials, which may be a replacement for the charm system in Hollow Knight. The quest system is broken up into four sections: Hunt, Gather, Wayfinder and Grand Hunt. Silksong will feature a quest system, with characters asking Hornet to fulfill certain requests. Hornet will also encounter many friendly non-player characters. The game is planned to feature over 165 different enemies. During her adventure, Hornet encounters many hostile creatures. The player controls Hornet, an insectoid creature who wields a needle to combat enemies. The gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor. Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania action-adventure game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs.
