How many bosses in Hollow Knight Silksong?

How many Hollow Knight Silksong bosses will there be, and will it be more ? Well, with the game coming out it won't be long before players get the final number for themselves, but right now it's looking as though Hollow Knight: Silksong will have a similar number of boss fights and unique foes to that of the first game. We'll go through the numbers and what we know of the bosses below, updating this page as we discover more so you know everything you need to know about Silksong bosses going forward.

How many boss fights are in Silksong?

According to the Hollow Knight Silksong release trailer, there are over 40 bosses in the full game for the player to fight. For frame of reference, the original Hollow Knight game had 47 boss fights, though the actual number is slightly lower than that, with a few variants and one joke boss that poses no threat to the player.

This means that Silksong will at least have a similar number of boss fights to the first game, and potentially more, depending on how the final figures pan out. Despite starting as a planned DLC for Hollow Knight, it seems as though Silksong is ready to match the first game in size and scale.
