Hollow Knight is a 2D action-adventure Metroidvania masterpiece developed and published by the three-person Australian indie team at Team Cherry. Set beneath the fading town of Dirtmouth, players descend into the sprawling, interconnected ruins of Hallownest, an ancient subterranean kingdom of insects gripped by a tragic infection.
Featuring hand-drawn traditional 2D animation and an unforgettable melancholic score by Christopher Larkin, the game offers tight, responsive nail combat, tight platforming, and deep exploration. Players discover charms to augment abilities, master nail arts, and clash against over one hundred unique enemy species and dozens of formidable bosses.
Universally hailed as one of the finest Metroidvanias ever created, Hollow Knight captivates players with its cryptic lore, immense world scale, and rewarding challenge.
