The modding community has surprised once again. Hollow Knight: Silksong, the game by Team Cherry that was recently released, has already received a fan-made unofficial Android version called Silksong Mobile APK, created through reverse engineering of the Unity engine.
According to reports on forums and Discord discussion groups, the adaptation made by Chinese fans uses the game’s original and complete resources and recompiles everything within a modified Unity base into an APK, allowing Silksong to run on smartphones as if it were an Android game. The result is a full APK version, bringing the complete gameplay experience to mobile devices.
How the Project Started
The work originated from members of the Chinese modding community who were already active in the Hollow Knight scene (which also has a full Android APK). Using reverse engineering tools, the fans were able to extract and reorganize the game files to work in a mobile environment.
This process is complex and risky, but it shows the strength of the community in keeping the hype alive for Silksong, one of the biggest releases of 2025, which is even playable via Gamehub emulator (video of it running on the emulator).
An Impressive Technical Achievement
Bringing Silksong to Android was not just a matter of “porting” files. The modders had to restructure part of the code, adapt the interface for touchscreens, and optimize performance to make it playable on mobile phones. They also added support for Bluetooth and USB controllers.
Even so, it’s important to note that this is a non-official project, without any involvement from Team Cherry. Therefore, the APK could be removed from the internet at any time due to legal reasons.

Community Keeps the Hype Alive
While the official release of Silksong for smartphones hasn’t happened yet (and probably never will), the fan-made version shows how eager the mobile community is for games like this. It also highlights the creative power of modders, who turned the impossible into reality—even if unofficially.
