10 Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games To Get Excited About

3. Hollow Knight: Silksong

Monster Hunter Stories 2
Team Cherry

Anyone who has played the original Hollow Knight knows that it's a profoundly enjoyable experience that will test your fortitude and push you to the limit. The Metroidvania-style title exploded in popularity upon its release, and it's no surprise that a sequel was announced. Now, fans are patiently awaiting this follow-up in the hopes that it catches lightning in a bottle again.

The first game saw you take control of a nameless Knight as they delved deep into the plague-riddled Hallownest. This time, you'll be playing as Hornet - a familiar face from the previous game - as you rise from the depths of the haunted kingdom of Pharloom. The inversion from descent to ascent is a nice way to flip the last game's progression on its head.

Hollow Knight was an instant classic thanks in part to the harsh yet fair gameplay, but also because it was a visual treat that encouraged exploration. Thus, the chance to get a whole new world to explore is something that will undoubtedly go down well.

There is no specific release date as of yet, but it will be worth the wait.
