Hollow Knight: Silksong - Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One [Digital]

Hollow Knight: Silksong is the epic sequel to Hollow Knight, the award-winning action adventure. Journey to all-new lands, discover new powers, battle vast hordes of bugs and beasts and uncover secrets tied to your nature and your past.

MIO is the name of the little robot you play as, and our nimble robot hero awakens alone aboard the Vessel—a vast, drifting spaceship left in ruin. Once maintained by AI caretakers known as the Pearls, the Vessel is now overrun by wild vegetation and malfunctioning machines. With the ship facing imminent shutdown, MIO must explore its labyrinthine depths, recover its lost memories, and uncover the truth behind the collapse. MIO contains Metroidvania fare, with a nice mix of combat and traversal as you slowly explore every corner of the map. In a sci-fi setting and with a stylish look, it's certainly doing something a little different from the competition. The game is developed by Douze Dixièmes, a small French studio previously known for their acclaimed debut, Shady Part of Me. True to their creative philosophy, the team has crafted MIO in a deeply artisanal way, building the entire experience atop a proprietary, in-house engine developed specifically for the project. This approach has allowed the studio to shape every aspect of the game’s mechanics, art direction, and atmosphere with complete freedom. Douze Dixièmes also maintains a seasonal (quarterly) blog where they share insights into studio life, their evolving creative process and behind-the-scenes making-of content.
