Though solid information about Hollow Knight: Silksong is still as uncertain as when the sequel was announced, it seems that player progression through the game will be directly opposite to that of its predecessor, Hollow Knight. During Team Cherry's initial Kickstarter campaign for Hollow Knight, it appeared that the physical scale of the game was a key factor, especially when considering that its loftier stretch goals teased an expansion to "The Abyss." Knowing now that this area would be at the furthest depths of a vast world, it's possible to look back in hindsight and recognize the ideas Team Cherry had in mind for Hollow Knight.
