About Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight is Team Cherry's masterpiece — a hand-drawn metroidvania set in the ruined underground kingdom of Hallownest. You play as a nameless knight exploring a world of ancient insects, forgotten gods, and hidden lore scattered throughout crumbling tunnels and hushed temples. The game earns its praise through the quality of its exploration, the precision of its combat, and its willingness to let you discover its secrets at your own pace. With hundreds of hours of content including multiple boss rushes and expansions, it remains the gold standard for the metroidvania genre.
