The future Hollow Knight games will be standalone, just as Silksong
, by Thibaut
Although we have been waiting for Hollow Knight: Silksong for many years, Team Cherry is clearly open to the idea of doing one or more entries. This is what emerged from an interview published by ACMI.
During the interview, studio executives Ari Gibson and William Pellen discussed the success of Silksong. They say they are satisfied to have created “a game capable of rivaling Hollow Knight.” For them, the two games complement each other perfectly, while remaining independent.
Team Cherry wants to maintain this model if other installments are created in the future.
"And if there were others, we would hope that they would all follow the same model—that the series would consist of games that simply exist alongside each other."
Of course, this does not mean that a third Hollow Knight is guaranteed to be released at this time.
