The highly anticipated sequel, 《 Hollow Knight: Silksong 》, has finally been released on September 4th, six years after its initial announcement. The game’s popularity has been so immense that it caused the Steam platform to experience a temporary outage.
This new installment features Hornet, a character who previously served as a main NPC in the original game, as the protagonist.

American cosplayer alexibodler has brought Hornet to life in a stunning real-world rendition.
Adorned in a red robe and wielding her nail, the cosplayer, fully enveloped in silk, truly embodies the essence of “Silk Song,” delivering a remarkably faithful representation of the game’s character design.
It’s worth noting that Hornet’s attire is a cloak rather than a skirt. However, due to its distinctive shape, players often refer to it as a skirt.
《 Hollow Knight: Silksong 》 is the epic continuation of the action-adventure game 《 Hollow Knight 》.
Players will explore a new world, awaken unknown powers, and carve a path through a swarming tide of beasts.
Assume the role of the deadly hunter Hornet and venture into a kingdom ruled by silk and song.
Having been captured and transported to an unfamiliar world, players must face formidable enemies, unravel ancient mysteries, and ascend to the kingdom’s peak on a perilous pilgrimage.
In addition to her impressive Hornet cosplay, this talented cosplayer has also portrayed other characters.
