Is Hollow Knight Silksong Multiplayer?
No, Hollow Knight Silksong doesn’t have traditional multiplayer at least, not in the way most people hope. You can’t invite a buddy to dash through Greymoor beside you or tackle a boss together with coordinated chaos. Team Cherry seems committed to keeping Silksong single-player, just like the original adventure, making those solo victories (and defeats) feel honest and personal. Sometimes I think that intensity the kind you get wrestling with a boss at 2 am, no one there to witness your suffering but the moths outside is part of what gives these games so much heart.
The Fan-Made Multiplayer Mod Is Here
Here’s a twist within days of release, passionate fans have cooked up unofficial multiplayer mods that let you roam Pharloom with a friend, or even go head-to-head in duels. No, it’s not some hasty April Fools’ prank: mods like SilklessCoop and the Silksong Steam multiplayer mod are very real, and already making the rounds among the bravest bug explorers. I tried it last weekend with a friend who kept spamming dash jumps off cliffs just to make me laugh (the peer pressure to show off your worst platforming is real).
-
You and a buddy can dash through tangled ruins together.
-
PvP means you can throw down Hornet v Hornet. It’s basic, but weirdly satisfying.
-
There are hiccups, sure: some enemies act like your friend’s not even there, and the occasional animation glitch will leave you doubled over, cackling.
If you’re up for wild glitches and the simple joy of sharing Silksong’s world, it’s worth a try. But let’s be clear: these mods are new, rough around the edges, and totally unofficial Team Cherry isn’t behind the curtain. Backup your saves and keep expectations playful. Sometimes you’ll feel like you’re pioneering new ground, other times like you’re starring in an unintentional comedy.
