Q.Are there any costumes or alternate skins for the Knight in Hollow Knight?

Short answer: there are no built‑in alternate costumes or official “skins” for the Knight in the retail Hollow Knight releases—any different-looking Knights you see are created by the community using mods rather than a Team Cherry feature. If you want to change the Knight’s look you’ll need to use fan mods and skin packs (PC only). (exitlag.com)

How players do it: mods such as “Custom Knight” and large community collections host recolors, boss-inspired variants and full sprite swaps. Popular places to find and download these are the HKSkins repository and mod hubs like Nexus/Thunderstore; they include installation instructions and many fan-made options. Be aware these mods are unofficial, often PC‑only, can require a mod manager (e.g., Lumafly), and may affect stability or achievements. If you play on consoles or prefer officially supported content, there’s no built‑in costume system to change the Knight’s appearance. (hkskins.art)
