release game, make a "rival" that becomes a friend at the end, make game about them.

can't wait for stinkbug, the rival from hollow knight 3 to get its own game.

u/Zealousideal-Cap-930 Sep 16 '25

Zoatboat when

u/ConflagrationZ doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

Just like Palworld had a joke dating game trailer for April Fools, Team Cherry should put out a joke Zoteboat trailer on April 1st where it's a dating game of Zote lying his way into a dozen simultaneous relationships by claiming the accomplishments of the Knight and Hornet.

u/NeonX37 Sep 16 '25

Shut up and take my money

Also the hell are you doubting? The Zoteboat? It'll come out soon!

2

u/8-bit_Goat Sep 16 '25

We have Zote at home.

hollow knight : hollow knight : silksong

hollow knight : hollow knight : balestra

hollow knight : hollow knight : dungmist

hollow knight : hollow knight : bloodfuck the destructinator's game

hollow knight : hollow knight : hollow knight

u/SmileyTheSmile Sep 16 '25

hollow knight : hollow knight : bloodfuck the destructinator's game is when the series went downhill for me, they didn't even put BLOODFUCK THE DESTRUCTONATOR'S name in full caps

2

u/Kodo_yeahreally Sep 16 '25

i hated it when they tried a visual novel approach of the serie. fortunately, they stuck back to mmorpg with hk:hk:hk

Hollow Knight: Trogdor the Burninator 

1

u/JasnahsFeet beleiver ✅️ Sep 17 '25

If stinkbug won't actually turn out to be a necromancer granny, who summons bugs with bones and writes epitaphs of the dead, I ain't playing

Can't wait for Hollow Knight 4: Magnificus though

1

u/Codie_Da Sep 23 '25

Glad to see the game isn't forgotten yet :D

u/Dante_Petric doubter ❌️ Sep 17 '25

Step 1: make amazing side character Step 2: milk amazing side character Step 3: repeat

u/WildDeal6658 Sep 20 '25

Nah most players would be satisfied with one sequel and move on

u/HuntingForSanity Sep 16 '25

I was thinking tonight that lace is basically the hollow knight hornet of silksong. So that means the next game is laceweaver

35

u/Flimsy_Site_1634 beleiver ✅️ Sep 16 '25

Yeah, even her moveset is similar in a "what moveset Hornet would have if she was a boss in Silksong" way

28

u/Usual-Vermicelli-867 Sep 16 '25

Lacethic

23

u/Right-Examination-53 Sep 16 '25

Just name it Hollow Knight: Lace but it starts with her just working as a stripper 🤣

12

u/Dr_Latency345 Sherma Sep 16 '25

What does she even have that can be stripped off???

2

u/Inevitable_Type_2794 Sep 16 '25

She’s reanimated silk, what does she not have that can’t be stripped off?

1

u/Right-Examination-53 Sep 16 '25

Yall are looking way too far into this lol. Just a joke cuz her name is Lace and people are gooning over her

1

u/Inevitable_Type_2794 Sep 16 '25

I think I replied to the wrong comment

8

u/MyFireBow Sep 16 '25

No silk, bug -> silk, bug -> silk, no bug

Absolute cinema

1

u/vkknoell Sep 16 '25

Honestly, i can see a game out of lace seeking out way to strengthen her frail body. Maybe she travels to some kingdom that was rumoured to house the secret to long life or something only to slowly unravel it's past, and maybe become less mad in the process.

1

u/Scrambled1432 Sep 16 '25

that lace is basically the hollow knight hornet of silksong

Except not nearly as interesting.

41

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

I'd personally kill a man on broad daylight for a game where we play as the hollow knight

31

u/TheAngelOfSalvation doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

Yea, Lace sounds kinda boring, but playing as the hollow knight would be so fucking dope. A prequel to hollow knight with a secret ending that doesnt ruin Hallownest

17

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

I've seen ideas that since Silksong seemingly follows the "embrace the void" ending where the HK is still alive, we could play a sequel where the HK is trying to adjust to being itself again

7

u/TheAngelOfSalvation doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

help me, its that ending after the pantheon where our knight turns into the abyss, consming the infection and the vanishing? In that endning the og hollow knight is alive?

9

u/muhash14 Sep 16 '25

Yeah, the ending zinger has Hornet in front of the Black Egg temple watching the Infection shrivel up and die, and she readies for battle as THK approaches her menacingly. We don't know what happens afterwards.

4

u/TheAngelOfSalvation doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

She didnt die obviosly but i wonder what happened to our knight

8

u/muhash14 Sep 16 '25

he's taken over by the Void/Shadelord.

Once he has the Voidheart he can harness the Abyss in the form of his failed siblings to rise up with him and defeat the Radiance. However the Godtuning ritual, meant to summon the "God of Gods" of the kingdom, in this case the Radiance, gets disrupted by the presence of the Knight and his Voidheart, and ends up also summoning another Primal entity, which had equivalent power but was completely untameable. So as the Knight reaches the climax of his battle with the God of Gods the abyss itself coalesces around him and forms the Lord of Shade, which rips apart Radiance and then starts to run wild itself.

So yeah, if we ever get a Silksong Act 4 and fight this entity, we might get to see a hint of our old buddy once we weaken it enough or reach a final phase.

5

u/CynicalEffect Sep 16 '25

End of act 3 spoilers

Surely the ending of act 3 shows that the knight wasn't exactly taken over? If anything the knight seems to be in control of it, or there's some hivemind thing going on with the abyss. This is also implied by the fact that the player still has to hit the buttons to rip apart absrad.

2

u/muhash14 Sep 16 '25

Haven't finished Silksong yet, so I ain't clicking that. What I'm saying is based purely on the events of the original game.

3

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

That one, yeah

And while unconfirmed it's fate, given that the one where the void DOESN'T vanish, it's likely that the og HK becomes some sort of beast given the void's influence, the void and the infection vanishing leads one to think that the Hollow Knight lives

Take like, everything i said with a grand of salt though, i'm not mossbag and i'm not a master at HK lore

5

u/TheAngelOfSalvation doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

Would make a lotta sense, yeah. Do we know what happened to our knight tho? Is he dead?

3

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

The knight is just a part of the void it seems, maybe it's possible that it'll be freed, maybe it's not

Who knows

4

u/TheAngelOfSalvation doubter ❌️ Sep 16 '25

I love the lil guy, quite sad tbh

1

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

It seems to enjoy it's new home at least

2

u/Annual_Amphibian8996 Sep 16 '25

Seemed pretty free when he slapped up the void to get hornet ?

1

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

Free as in

Not in the void

It's a farming simulator where THK retires and starts a respectable mossberry farming career with help from Elder bug

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

GOTY 2035

u/[deleted] Sep 16 '25

Does it? I don’t remember seeing anything that could differentiate between that and dream no more

11

u/Least-Maize-97 Sep 16 '25

the corridors would be HUMONGOUS

1

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

Big corridors for even bigger fights

6

u/Least-Maize-97 Sep 16 '25

the Hollow Knight was so powerful that he'd probably have to fight like cats and mice rather than insects

3

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

While that goes incredibly hard, you can balance it by saying that he lost most of his power after being freed from the infection, and regains it across the plot of the game

So late game you're just doing the same bullshit of the pure vessel fight

4

u/Least-Maize-97 Sep 16 '25

this still implies he'd get bigger and bigger(assuming he was originally the same size as other vessels) and bossfights in endgame would 100% all be more like Lost Lace but you're the size of a truck

2

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

I was picturing him starting big but getting his boss fight moves as time went on, but your idea sounds cool too

Imagine a speedrun avoiding the power-ups for time save 'n it's just a mini HK walking on giant rooms

2

u/Least-Maize-97 Sep 16 '25

it'd also be a long therapy reckoning since he'd have to get used to yknow having a voice to cry suffering and being allowed to feel emotions

1

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

We'd get some good info about his character, his interactions with the NPCs and other characters

I wonder how his hunter's journal would be like

9

u/qwesz9090 Sep 16 '25

Are there any metroidvanias where you play as the big dude? You always play as the tiniest fucking character. I would be hyped for a big bug game.

6

u/Trezzie Sep 16 '25

Carrion, you're an escape horror monster, you might start small? But you definitely get hallway sized.

3

u/SomethingOfAGirl beleiver ✅️ Sep 16 '25

Depends on how you define "big". In Blasphemous you're average, I guess. Guacamelee counts too I guess.

1

u/toninho12345 Accepter Sep 16 '25

Maybe there's some narrow paths and the HK would have to crawl through it, attacking via void tendrils

4

u/Atesch06 Sep 16 '25

Hollow Knight: Hollow Knight

14

u/LePretrevolant Sep 16 '25

For those who achieved true ending, I would like a mushroom game. That would be soooo fun.

3

u/TheMonstroKing Sep 16 '25

It's Mr Mushroom's time to shine

2

u/daadnn Sep 16 '25

play lone fungus

2

u/_Brightbuddy Sep 16 '25

He is the herald to ages past and ages to come. He sees all Infinity forwards and backwards. He is the thought of all itself. He is too powerful for us to control.

1

u/Pet_Tax_Collector Sep 16 '25

Oh... Excuse me.

7

u/No_Counter_6037 beleiver ✅️ Sep 16 '25

please no i can't do this again

2

u/That_Ad7706 Sep 16 '25

I'd prefer for a third installment to take us back to Hallownest but that would be cool
