We know that Switch will be the only console to receive the game at launch, but other details are still pretty slim at present.<\/p>\n<p>Changing that slightly, though, the team has provided a quick update on the game, showing off some of the characters we can expect to see in the final product (we&#8217;ve got images and descriptions of each for you below).<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Lace<\/strong><br \/>A lithe fencer wielding a gilded pin, the traditional weapon of Pharloom. Lace is a dangerous foe, cloaked in mystery, who\u2019ll delight at causing Hornet\u2019s swift, skewered demise.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shakra<\/strong><br \/>Fierce and intimidating, Shakra is a warrior seeking her master, who vanished under strange circumstances. Shakra\u2019s clan are skilled fighters who can handle their own in the kingdom\u2019s wilds. Usefully for Hornet, each member of the clan also hones a Craft-Skill and Shakra\u2019s mastery of cartography will prove invaluable on Hornet\u2019s adventure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Trobbio<\/strong><br \/>Master of the Stage, the Brush and the Voice, the flamboyant butterfly Trobbio seeks fame and adoration throughout Pharloom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sherma<\/strong><br \/>An optimistic pilgrim on a spiritual journey. Sherma\u2019s path may often cross with Hornet\u2019s own, but his lack of combat and acrobatic prowess can land him in desperate need of aid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Garmond and Zaza<\/strong><br \/>A rambunctious older bug and his noble steed, on a quest to discover a new home. Garmond may be the chattier of the two, but Zaza could be the real brains of the pair.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure class=\"picture strip\"><a title=\"From left to right (top row): Lace, Shakra, Trobbio \/ (bottom row): Sherma, Garmond and Zaza\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f036b3e6d1420\/from-left-to-right-top-row-lace-shakra-trobbio-bottom-row-sherma-garmond-and-zaza.original.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f036b3e6d1420\/from-left-to-right-top-row-lace-shakra-trobbio-bottom-row-sherma-garmond-and-zaza.900x.jpg\" alt=\"From left to right (top row): Lace, Shakra, Trobbio \/ (bottom row): Sherma, Garmond and Zaza\"><\/a><figcaption class=\"caption\">From left to right (top row): Lace, Shakra, Trobbio \/ (bottom row): Sherma, Garmond and Zaza<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That&#8217;s not all, though, as the team has also shared a quick message to thank fans for their support regarding the new game announcement.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;A very sincere thank you to all of you and your response to Silksong\u2019s surprise-announce.
