THE OVERVIEW

About Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight is a single-player action adventure built around finding routes through the underground kingdom of Hallownest. Movement abilities, spells and equippable Charms give players new ways to cross earlier areas and approach close-range fights. Its map tools are items to acquire, so navigation and discovering connections are part of the progression rather than a sequence of isolated levels. The Steam product also describes the Hidden Dreams, Grimm Troupe, Lifeblood and Godmaster content updates; separately priced soundtracks are distinct purchases. The current requirements list Windows, macOS and Linux profiles, and the Windows minimum now names Windows 10 version 21H1 or newer. These are published requirements rather than tested frame-rate or device-compatibility results.
