About
Hollow Knight (2017) is Team Cherry’s hand-drawn Metroidvania. A small, silent knight arrives at Dirtmouth and descends into Hallownest, a once-great kingdom of insects now haunted by an infection.
Precise combat, a huge world to map yourself, unforgettable bosses and Christopher Larkin’s mournful score made it a modern classic, and its free updates kept adding more.
