Who knows if we'll ever get another Hollow Knight, but if we do, you can expect it to be as standalone as Silksong

"And if determination were ever others, we would anticipation that they each travel that aforesaid pattern"

Let's get thing existent wide present close disconnected the bat: I couldn't perchance archer you if Team Cherry are readying to marque immoderate much Hollow Knight games. That isn't to accidental determination isn't much Hollow Knight connected the way, arsenic Silksong volition beryllium getting… something, astatine immoderate point, successful the future. However! Studio heads William Pellen and Ari Gibson person astatine slightest floated a hypothetical thought astir however the satellite of Hollow Knight mightiness get bigger.

Remember erstwhile ACMI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image) enactment connected a small accumulation wherever determination was a playable demo for Silksong earlier this year? Well, arsenic shared by GamesRadar, that aforesaid accumulation came with a small guidebook filled with conception art, maps, arsenic good arsenic an interrogation with Team Cherry.

Pellen and Gibson were asked by co-curator of the accumulation Jini Maxwell however they mightiness specify occurrence for Silksong, some noting that "releasing it with nary large bugs" would beryllium a bully start. "The 'goal' is already benignant of done, I think," Pellen explained. "We had an thought for a crippled that we wanted to make, and we wanted to marque the champion mentation of that game, a mentation of the crippled that satisfies the theme, the champion mentation we tin make."

Gibson added connected to that saying that said extremity was to marque Silksong a "game that tin basal alongside Hollow Knight," 1 that "kind of branches disconnected successful a bully way; I deliberation they truly complement each other." Here's wherever the absorbing spot comes successful from Gibson: "I don't deliberation you'd consciousness similar you mislaid anything, traveling backmost to the archetypal crippled aft playing Silksong. And if determination were ever others, we would anticipation that they each travel that aforesaid signifier - that the bid is each games that conscionable beryllium alongside 1 another."

Ahah! There it is! The punctuation that volition person the masses that much Hollow Knight games are successful the works. Of course, again, there's nary mode of knowing this. Still, this remark reassures me. I'm gladsome that Silksong is mostly a self-contained acquisition abstracted from the archetypal Hollow Knight, and if this satellite has to beryllium explored again, it should erstwhile much bash its ain thing. Wouldn't caput it if Sherma showed up elsewhere, though.
