Instead of using soul to heal like the Knight from Hollow Knight did, Hornet uses silk. The checkpoint system from the first game will return in Silksong. In a feature new to Silksong, Hornet will be able to craft weapons, tools, and traps from gathered materials. The quest system is broken up into at least four sections: Hunt, Gather, Wayfarer, and Grand Hunt.

Silksong will feature a quest system, in which characters will ask Hornet to fulfil certain requests. Hornet will also encounter many friendly non-player characters. The game is planned to feature over 165 different enemies. During her adventure, Hornet encounters many hostile creatures. The player controls Hornet, an insectoid creature who wields a needle to combat enemies and had previously appeared as a boss in the first game. The gameplay is largely similar to that of its predecessor Hollow Knight, with an increased emphasis on speed, combat, and platforming. Hollow Knight: Silksong is a 2D Metroidvania game, which takes place in a haunted kingdom inhabited by bugs.
