Hollow Knight: Silksong News

Ok, that was quick. Hollow Knight: Silksong has been out less than a week, and no less than two modders have already had a crack at getting multiplayer working in it, so you can take on those pesky bosses with some co-op moral support.

Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. After all, the Skong modding scene has exploded out of the gates with the same level of gusto folks have had for just playing the base version of the long-awaited metroidvania. Then again, it's one thing for folks to be putting out a bunch of smaller scale tweaks that can help make things easier, and another for them to turn a one player game into a more than one player game.

Trust us, clearing trash mobs in two hits is a lot faster than five.

While they're not necessary to progress in Hollow Knight Silksong, there are multiple benefits to unlocking these early shortcuts.
