![]() ![]() With the precedent Silksong establishes that any character, even initial foes like Hornet herself, can be protagonists, it's possible that the likes of the Hollow Knight themselves could lead the next game. For instance, while some endings could see the original infection in Hollow Knight come back, other alternatives exist such as the titular Hollow Knight surviving the game's conclusion as some fans believe, or that the void will have a greater role through the Godmaster endings. Since Silksong requires an ending in which Hornet survives, the remaining options create new opportunities for a return to Hallownest or a continuation of some of its key characters. Though the Knight's story was concluded by Hollow Knight's end, it is these multiple endings that could be used to inform a future sequel in the series. ![]() ![]() Of all the loose ends it left, the Weaver's absence in Hollow Knight is likely something Silksong will go on to address, and critically this indicates that other similar loose ends could equally become new branching points for future games. However, what motivated this decision might not just be Team Cherry's desire to create an all-new experience for players, but it could have been influenced by Hornet's connection to the Weavers in particular. In line with this, Silksong will be taking place in the new kingdom of Pharloom, something which will allow Hollow Knight to expand the scope of players' understanding of this macroscopic world beyond Hallownest. Already it seems that Hornet's backstory and legacy will take center stage in Hollow Knight Silksong given all that is known so far, between the recurring themes of silk, weaving, hidden truths, and secrets. Her proximity to the game's main plot, her involvement in its endings, and her ties to prominent characters like the Pale King, Herrah, and the Weavers all pointed to something more. Opting to use Hornet as Silksong's protagonist had ample benefits as not only did it provide necessary connective tissue back to Hollow Knight, but it also offered Team Cherry the chance to expand upon the general lore it had created behind the character. ![]()
