Team Cherry Envisions Future Hollow Knight Games as Standalone Companions

The stance, shared in an ACMI paperback interview published around Silksong's launch, sets an accessible, pick-any-entry philosophy for the series.

Overview

  • Co-lead Ari Gibson says any future entries would "exist alongside one another," so players would not need to follow a specific order.
  • The remarks come from an interview with Ari Gibson and William Pellen published by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in a paperback guide.
  • Coverage notes the interview appears to predate release, offering context for the developers' framing of Silksong's goals.
  • Silksong has launched to positive reception with few progress-blocking bugs, and an initial issue with Chinese localization has been updated.
  • Reporting highlights Team Cherry’s preference for self-contained projects, with Silksong having originated as planned DLC and studio culture described by a voice actor as "healthy workaholics."
