IfHollow Knight: Silksongintends to have a huge world, it will need to fill it with many things to do to ensure players won’t get bored while exploring it. A healthy number of interesting characters should be one such requirement, and it’s likely that Team Cherry is planning on taking some figures fromthe world ofHollow Knightand carrying them over to its next project.
