About This Badge
When Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched in September 2025, Twitch marked the occasion with its own badge. Hornet is a global Twitch badge named after the game's protagonist. How did you get it? By subscribing to a streamer in the Silksong category during launch week, with the window running from September 10 to 17, 2025. That makes it a paid badge; watchtime alone was not enough.
More than 2,200 collectors on BadgeBase own Hornet, a strong number for a sub badge and a telling sign of just how big the launch hype really was.
Silksong is far from the only game with its own launch badge: the games badge overview is full of similar examples, and the paid badge archive collects every badge that was tied to subs or gifts.
