Will I be able to run it smoothly?

[Sirin]

I have a low-end PC and managed to run HK with average 30-40 FPS but sometimes 15-20 in areas like Godhome, Grimm Troupe Tent, Colosseum of Fools, and The White Palace . So I had to bring down the resolution lower than the game allows using "Launch Options" via Steam itself to make it 1024 x 576 and fortunately got 50-60 FPS without major drops.
Here's the link to a guide I made if anyone has the same problem...

Now Silksong's store page has the same system requirements as HK and runs on the same engine. But as we've seen in many trailers, the game seems to be more detailed and immersive. So as the title of discussion says, do you think it's going to need a more powerful PC to run better or is it going to be the same as HK for me?

Here's my system information (almost) if needed :
GPU : AMD Radeon HD 5450
CPU : Intel Pentium G630 2.70 GHz
RAM : 6GB DDR3

You can see the recommended and minimum specs listed at the bottom of the Storepages.

Well yeah I mentioned that in the discussion but the thing concerning me is how good it runs not only if it runs or not at all...
I really hope to be able to lower the resolution more than normal just like I can do with HK itself so If I had framerate issues it would be solved... I don't want to experience this great game with low FPS and I also can't currently afford a better PC...

Anyway my main question is that if it's gonna be more "heavy" to run than HK itself and if I'm gonna run into troubles...

I know as much about this game as you do.
Let's just trust trust Team Cherry. Also what does a game's graphical power cravings have to do with its "immersive-ness"? Weird specification, but alright.

If sought, you can always edit the resolutions of the game by Steam's manager. Exactly what I used to do in older games like Quake 1 to upscale the resolutions.

Cool...
By immersive I meant that the game world has more details like when you walk on those moss floors in reacts to your footsteps, hornet and other character's animations look more detailed and there seems to be more particles and also more stuff in the background...
And I'm guessing those can affect the performance a little bit on weaker systems.

It's mere, really. But whatever it is, it'll be hard to change or defy.

I'd really say for you to consider waiting another year or so for computer components to go down in price, which will still probably be before this game comes out, and 2-300 bucks will get you a gaming rig that should run hollow knight at 1080p60. Just start slowly saving over that time for a lower-end, but more modern rig and you are at least guaranteed to be fine.

Run what? R u still waiting for the game?

Yeesh, exactly how OLD is that system? Can't throw shade though since I'm still using the i7-4820K that launched back in 2012 lol.

It's really old and I can't afford a better one anytime soon (average third-world country person)

I think it mainly depends on the number of projectiles and particles they use (I woud expect more than before). Since you need an update anywhere you shoud do it. You can go relativly cheap at the moment aslong as you dont get an gpu (and you dont need one for such games here looking at the newest graphics chips in cpu's. (Unless its super easy to downgrade you will need an upgrade)

[zorocancor]

The minimum requirements are the same, so as long as you do the resolution thing, you should be fine

use a lighter os (if ur used to windows use mint)
i believe ss and hk has a debug mode which allows for some graphical adjustments (fog, animations)
do the obvious stuff (remove background apps, lighter browser bla bla bla)
uninstall all the bloatware such as integrated laptop software, avast mcafee
