Team Cherry has knocked it out of the park yet again, creating another masterpiece that pushes the boundaries of metroidvania with Hollow Knight Silksong. The game offers a massive amount of content at a very reasonable price, especially with the recent inflated game prices. Curious to know how much fun you can extract from Hollow Knight Silksong before you buy it? Here is how long it takes to beat Hollow Knight Silksong.
Hollow Knight Silksong Game Length
Hollow Knight Silksong follows the core gameplay mechanic of its predecessor, making players go back and forth between new areas to find every secret. The game is filled to the brim with hidden items, enemies, and even entire levels in some cases. To finish the normal story of Hollow Knight Silksong, players will take around 50-60 hours. This might drop to around 45 hours for Hollow Knight veterans.
However, for those who seek to 100% the game by finding every item, defeating every enemy (or allies in some cases), seeing every cutscene, and reading every dialogue, they will take around 100 hours.
Here is a complete list of times taken to beat Hollow Knight Silksong:
| Main Story | 50-60 Hours |
| Main Story + Side Missions | 80 Hours |
| Completionist | 100 Hours |
The game is full of objectives and quests that keep you engaged with it. So, even spending hours on a side quest won’t feel boring. Take it from someone who is currently chasing all the Pilgrim Shawl.
While most will expect a similar length to the original Hollow Knight, in my personal experience, even the sub bosses will make you grind all your fingers at once for at least 15-20 minutes. If you aren’t familiar with the Hollow Knight’s style of gameplay, don’t worry; this one is even more difficult. Regardless of your experience with the metroidvania soulslike genre.
