The Huntress was discovered by fans after decoding a series of Hollow-Knight-related riddles disseminated to the game's official Discord. At this point, then, any new morsel is welcome, and Team Cherry has finally delivered with a tease of a new NPC character - a "towering old predator" who seems likely to be named The Huntress.

Since Silksong's initial reveal, Team Cherry has offered a smattering of new information (and a short playable demo did the rounds at various game events last year), but additional details have been increasingly slow to emerge.
