![]() That this is a kingdom built on the remains of failures.Ī king failed to share power. But that confusion serves a purpose-it forces you to fail, early and often, teaching you the most important aspect of Hollownest. Hollownest is a deeply confusing place to explore-as difficult to get through as it would be if someone were dropped into a city in a foreign country without access to Google Maps and told to find their way to a location they've never been to before. Enough times that it may become frustrating. And the first time someone plays through Hollow Knight, they will. The game wants the player to get lost in its world. Hollow Knight's whole gameplay loop is built around this premise. And even once they figure out where they think they are, there's little they can do to know where they are beyond finding a noticeable landmark. When a person opens a paper map in real life, it typically takes them a minute to figure out where they are based on what's around them and where they've been. Most "maps" in games automatically tell the player where they are and immediately reveal what the area around the player looks like once you visit a new location for the first time. Most video games don't-they have in-game GPS systems. I love Hollow Knight because it limits itself to a traditional map. So it stands to reason that would mean you have elements of the original Hollow Knight in your DNA, including its map. You may be a sequel, but you're a game that started out as an expansion to your predecessor. There is one topic, however, that I'd love to hear more about sooner rather than later: your map. I wish I could see more of you, but I am content to simply know that you continue to exist. Oh, and there were those coded riddles that Team Cherry posed to the community last year-those were pretty cool!įor now, I'm fine with all these small teases. Every once in a while, I hear an update about you via Team Cherry's Discord server, like how you wouldn't be at E3 2021. And then Team Cherry continued to tease me with snippets of information about you in blog posts that stopped in December 2019, as well as articles published in magazines like Edge and (I read them all-my sustenance in these trying times). ![]() The game is also planned to incorporate the remaining Kickstarter backer creations such as characters, bosses and areas.Following your incredible reveal, we managed to connect at E3 2019-I was amazed to finally play through a portion of Pharloom, a kingdom both eerily similar and vastly different to Hollow Knight's Hollownest. Eventually, the development became too ambitious for a DLC, so the developers opted for a new game. Hollow Knight: Silksong was first planned as additional content to Hollow Knight, as part of a Kickstarter goal to have a second playable character. A new mode similar to Steel Soul Mode, but while Steel Soul had very small tweaks and is largely a permadeath mode, Silk Soul is projected to take "a step further" than the previous game-mode and provide an experience that can potentially "last a little longer". Unique new game mode called Silk Soul mode."
