Being a Metroidvania, Hollow Knight: Silksong is expected to have beautiful environments with many interesting things to discover. It is a world that Team Cherry aims to produce for its players for the sequel, but how the developer will do so is still a mystery. It is possible that it could take note of and incorporate how certain items, mechanics, and locations in Hollow Knight reference other games. Doing so and more could subtly bring additional life to Silksong's world, but it could also do more harm than good.
