Would love to hear your analysis! I was definitely too excited to dive into anything, but I'm looking forward to other creators and all of y'all to break things down even more!

[deepakrajendra]

I want to give everyone in the community a shoutout for providing us so much great and wonderful HK content in various forms, while we all wait for Silksong. Thank you!

I think the only logical conclusion to all of this is that Silksong is gonna be STACKED. In this trailer of just 1 minute they showed SO MANY abilities, areas, ennemies and bosses, and the game has been in development for years now !
Obviously I hope that doesn’t mean Team Cherry is pushing themselves too much and trying too hard to surpass what they did with Hollow Knight, it must be a lot of pressure, and I would prefer if they took their time with it.

[Ghost-Toast]

I remember TC saying that SilkSong would be combat focused so it’s interesting to see so much platforming as well

[Ani]

I'm really excited to see the way that TC has implemented "charms" or the equivalent of that into Silksong, because from what I've seen they are nowhere near as one-sided in use as a lot of the charms. Perhaps being able to pogo off of the pimpillos, or something? The reason I'm thinking of this is because of the....static? thorn? things? that hornet can throw out, which we've seen used for both platforming and combat. I'M SO EXCITED!!

[retrotrope]

Anyone else notice the small symbol in the bottom left after hornet killed an enemy? Seems like a hunter's journal type thing is coming back, tho it was a different symbol. Looked sort of like a slug? Maybe a worm (with an o)

[knwinterr]

3:58 it looks to me like Bind got a speed nerf from the Demo, which I think is warranted. You could basically do it whenever you wanted and not get punished because it was so quick before, but now you have to find at least a small opening.

[Blzrd]

At 4:42, it kind of looks like a Dreamer! Seems like hornet is doing something similar to how the knight Dreamnails Dreamers to unlock the seals of Black Egg temple. Super cool to see.

Analysis time.

The first shot seems to take place in the Moss Grotto, maybe in a sub area. There's a new enemy, a black bll with leaves. There's also what seems to be its floating variant. We can see some ambience bird-like bugs, like those in HK.

The next shot might take place in Greymoor? Or maybe it's a new place, who knows. Hornet is seen jumping on some bombs, looks fun. She then wall jumps like in HK.

Then we see her on top of the Bell Beast, crawling out of some bells. The area reminds me of the stag stations, it's probably SS's equivalent.

The shot with the buzzsaws might take place in the clock tower, given that some look like gears. The place seems to be collapsing on itself, which would make sense if it's a tower.

Then a shot of Hornet going up an updraft through the Moss Grotto, with another new enemy (I think, I certainly don't remember it). There's another updraft to the right, so it's probably part of the area.

The background in this shot looks like the one in the second shot, could be the same area. Hornet's bouncing across some white flowers, might be Delicate Flowers? The place reminds me of the Path of Pain somehow. There's also some white thorns.

The next shot is Hornet riding some sort of railway system in the Deep Docks. I think that enemy is new too. No idea about the vertical formations at the top of the screen.

This shot probably takes place in the clock tower, and Hornet is using some kind of zipline.

A shot of an elevator starting up, not sure where. Seems to have a similar architecture to where the Weaver statue was seen in the first trailer. There's also cobwebs, so this is probably related to the Weavers.

A shot of an unknown location, but it's already been featured in the first trailer. Hornet is fighting more enemies with those religious face coverings.

Hornet fighting a new enemy in what seems like a knew place.

Hornet dashing across a tunnel (again, no idea where) while killing what look little Bell Beasts.

Hornet fighting more of those religious enemies in what looks like a city. She's using some sort of drill attack and bombs.

A dark, grey place (perhaps Greymoor) and new enemies with cloths on their heads.

Hornet fighting a big red ant, probably in an anthill. She's using a spike weapon.

Alright, this shot is 100% Greymoor. She's leaving spike traps like in her bossfights in HK, and she's fighting an enemy I don't think we've seen before.

Then, a fight with some enemies in the Deep Docks. She's using a triple shot.

A fight with a new enemy in Greymoor, the place reminds me of a graveyard for some reason.

Then she's climbing a tunnel, probably leaving the Docks. She's running away from rising lava. Is it just me, or do the walls have faces? Also, new enemy.

An elevator falling down, with architecture sorta similar to the Weaver place I talked about before, but much darker.

I think there was something similar in the first trailer? Anyways, the body and the candles definitely remind me of Herrah's resting place in Deepnest.

A fight with a new fly-like enemy in Greymoor. Garmond and Zaza seem to be trying to help. The enemy attacks them, so maybe helpers can die?

Battle agains the Last Judge, in their arena from the screenshot they were first shown in. Hornet is shoting drills.

Drills are being shot at Hornet. Given the background, it's some sort of drill-bug nest. Maybe in Greymoor? I love the way the chains in the foreground shake.

A new bossfight, probably in the Moss Grotto.

A new enemy fight, also fly-like, no idea where. Is that a guy cut in half in the background?

An enemy I think we've seen before, in the Forest of Bones.

That Lance fight we've already seen.

The Greymoor fly-like enemy again.

AND IT'S IN LESS THAN A YEAR

i don't think the thing at 0:34 in the trailer, 3:05 in this video is a tool. Hornet's tool list is the spikeball trap and the lifeblood syringe, and neither of them lose durability during the move. I think this is the equivalent of a Nail Art, instead, as it also doesn't consume any silk.

[kimballblack]

Silksong: *releases a new trailer*
The HK community: *looses collective mind*

[TheEggyOne]

hollow knight was lacking chase scenes, I hope that happens
and I'm also really down for more of an ori type movement style

[TaLaPredator]

3:30 you can actually seem some of them being already on the ground which means you can bait enemies on them

[Spiney]

I’m so hyped! Within the next 12 months is enough, I won’t be 85 by the time it comes out!

[legohead]

I don’t know how much longer I can cope for

[Oggy-ub]

Combat is going to be so complex in this game. It looks like you may be able to change your basic attacks as well. At 3:56 we see Hornet doing a traditional pogo rather than the diagonal dash she usually does. She also follows up with what looks like a dash attack.

[rainingBrackets]

4:35 That looks like Herrah the beast don't you think? And the candles and dim lightning makes it look like it's a chamber for them to lay in

[kerplonky]

A lot of the bugs in the new trailer, such as the fast-travel creature, greatly resemble the strange skeleton in the Beast’s Den. Mossbag and others have already theorized that the weavers and Jinn are related to Pharloom in some way, so it would make sense that this is, too.

[Lokiii.]

at 4:37, i want to say that looks a lot like the dreamers, just by the way they're laying there and hornet had her nail in it.

[fghal]

They also showed hornet using some silk to do a more powerful attack around 3:00

Edit: I saw it wrong they’re just gaining silk after attacking
