As a result, Silksong will be a stark departure from its predecessor, something which has already been proven by new crafting mechanics, combat abilities, and more shown in trailers and previews. In order to circumvent this, Hollow Knight: Silksonghas taken the route of leading its sequel with Hornet as its new protagonist and shall take place in an entirely new kingdom beyond that of Hallownest. But as Hollow Knight had different endings all with a degree of finality to them, it seemed that any sequel would have an uphill struggle to continue the universe that had been sent in motion when the Knight's story was ultimately finished.

Having already soared to the heights usually dominated by triple-A studios, Team Cherry had struck gold following the reception of its debut game. Even though a sequel to the indisputably popular indie Metroidvania was inevitable, Hollow Knight: Silksong could be more than just a follow-up to its predecessor and might instead be aiming to build out a franchise in light of its success.
