Aiyo, listen up my fellow Cantonese junkies who got no life except gaming and yelling “pok gai!” all day! The legendary bug killing game Hollow Knight is back, but this time it's called Silksong and starring Hornet, that ninja bug chick who’s sharper than your grandma’s tongue. But first, a word from today’s sponsor:

Yeah, yeah, I know what you thinking. “Eh pok gai, why this game still 2D one? I want some shiny 3D graphics with fireworks and dragon dance.” But no lah, Silksong still rocking that beautiful hand-drawn 2D style, like your old school cartoons but with super sick animations and layers, making you feel like bugs really jumping inside your screen. It’s like watching a kung fu movie but everything drawn by some angry artist who never sleep.

But don’t get it wrong ah, this game ain’t no easy Sunday brunch. Nah, it’s mad hard with fast ninja moves, crazy bosses, and stash of weapons like needle-thread combo for your pokkai hands to fight bug monsters. You gotta be quick, steady like those old Hong Kong cops in the TVB dramas, or you end up crying in the corner yelling “lei sei ah!” Trust me, it’s so tight that even the veterans of the first game waiting for years are shaking in their boots — almost as nervous as when your mom catch you playing outside too long.

And the story? Wah, deeper than your uncle’s mahjong strategy. You explore some new creepy bug kingdom called Pharloom, full of silk and song (hence the name, duh!). You get quests, bosses, crafting, everything packed tight like cha siu bing. The soundtrack? Composer Christopher Larkin is back, so expect some haunting tunes that’ll keep you hyped till you pok gai lose your mind.

So why the hype? Because it’s the rare breed: an indie game that actually delivers—no microtransactions, no nonsense, just pure love and mad skills in one shiny little package. Out September 4th, across PC, Switch, and consoles. So get ready to dip your fingers in silk and poke those bugs for glory!
