- In an interview, Team Cherry lead Ari Gibson has discussed how they would approach more Hollow Knight games.
- The developer claimed that Team Cherry would create the next game that exists well alongside the others.
- Meaning, players would not feel lost if they were to play the first two after enjoying a hypothetical Hollow Knight 3.
Hollow Knight: Silksong finally launched with a bang this year after years of waiting. The sequel was an immediate success, despite generating some controversy, and went on to win the Indie GOTY at the Golden Joystick Awards this year.
So it’s no surprise that fans are already looking towards what’s to come in the future of the franchise. Team Cherry seems familiar with the demand for more Hollow Knight games, as the team discussed how it would approach more titles in the future.
Why it matters: Team Cherry discussing how they would approach new Hollow Knight games suggests the team is at least considering creating new parts in the future, especially after Silksong turned out to be such a success.
In an interview with AMCI (the Australian Centre for the Moving Image), Team Cherry lead Ari Gibson clarified that a potential Hollow Knight 3, and any other games that were to come in the future, would exist well with the others.
In other words, Ari means that players would not feel lost if they were to return to the original and Silksong after enjoying a hypothetical Hollow Knight 3. It’s the same story with the original, which feels fresh for players who played Silksong first.
And if there were ever others, we would hope that they all follow that same pattern – that the series is all games that just exist alongside one another.
-Ari Gibson, Team Cherry Lead.
This interview took place even before Silksong came out but only recently surfaced, suggesting that Team Cherry has considered the possibility of more Hollow Knight games for a long time.
Therefore, Silksong’s immense success might finally push the team to develop Hollow Knight 3 in the future.
Do you think Team Cherry will actually work on more Hollow Knight games in the future, or are the mentions by developers not enough to draw a conclusion yet? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the Tech4Gamers forum.
