About this project

Who Built the Hallownest Atlas?

The Hallownest Atlas is a fan-made, open interactive map project launched in October 2025. Our team of Hollow Knight enthusiasts set out to build the most complete and accurate spatial reference for the kingdom of Hallownest — covering all 12 regions, 47 boss encounters, 36 charms, and over 145 points of interest across the base game and all four free content packs.

This project is not affiliated with Team Cherry. Hollow Knight and all related content are the property of Team Cherry. We encourage every traveler to support the official release on Steam, Nintendo eShop, and other official platforms.
