So, Hollow Knight: Silksong is on the horizon, and the folks at Team Cherry have dropped a little hint about what might come next. In an old interview with ACMI, they talked about their vision for the Hollow Knight universe, and it sounds pretty interesting.

Basically, they want each game to stand on its own. The studio wants to ensure that you don't have to play one to understand the other. I think that's a cool approach because it allows new players to jump in anywhere without feeling lost, and it gives the developers more creative freedom.

When questioned about their definition of success, they said that the goal was to create a version of the game that embodies its theme, aiming for the best possible rendition, while ensuring no major bugs on the release.

Ari Gibson mentioned that Silksong "branches off in a nice way" from the original, complementing each other. He also made a teasing comment about future games, saying that the studio hopes they follow the same pattern, existing alongside one another.

Now, I wouldn't get your hopes up for a million Hollow Knight games just yet. It's more of a "what if" scenario. But still, it's encouraging to know that Team Cherry is open to the idea of expanding the Hollow Knight world in the future. Imagine the possibilities!

When Silksong was reviewed here, it got a glowing five-star rating, being called "pretty and charmingly mean-spirited", with "revelations and genuine personality".

If you're curious about how Silksong's price point might affect other indie games, there's an interesting discussion about that too. It could be a game-changer for indie developers, or maybe not. Time will tell!
