Team Cherry has promised that Hornet will be more acrobatic than the Knight. The fan demo leans hard into this: a wall jump, a mid-air dash, a ceiling cling, and a sprint. Movement feels fluid—almost too fluid. In the cramped, vertical corridors of the demo’s "Moss Grotto" area, the player can bypass most enemies with well-timed dashes.
Created by Elvies, this version reimagines the game with a retro 8-bit aesthetic. It is playable in-browser on itch.io and features a tool-cycle mechanic for Hornet’s various abilities like the needle throw and buzzsaw. hollow knight silksong fan made demo
