IGN recently disclosed that Hollow Knight: Silksong will be playable at an Australian museum in September 2025, accompanied by a sprite sheet from the eagerly awaited game. This news sent the internet into a frenzy, particularly over one controversial sprite.
Among the many sprites of Silksong's protagonist, Hornet, one image stood out, showing her without her cloak, casually carrying it under one arm. This particular sprite, visible on the right-hand side of the original sheet, immediately under the uppermost ring, sparked a heated discussion on Reddit. One user questioned, "In what situation [is] making a sprite of naked Hornet necessary?" Another described it as "cursed," likening Hornet's pose to that of an "exhausted dad returning from work."
The conversation took a humorous turn, with comments ranging from disbelief to playful innuendo. One user suggested that no mod would be needed, while another humorously proposed that the game might shift to an ESRB 18+ rating due to this sprite. Amidst the jest, some expressed strong disapproval, with comments like "HORNET PUT YOUR CLOAK BACK ON THAT'S SO INDECENT WHAT THE HELL," and others labeling it as "completely unnecessary."
Despite the uproar, a plausible theory emerged that this sprite might be related to upgrading or changing Hornet's cloak in the game. Until more is revealed, fans are left to speculate and enjoy the lively discussions.

Silksong will be featured in the Melbourne museum's Game Worlds exhibition, which will also showcase the game's design and artistic direction, providing fans with an in-depth look at what's to come.
