Hey, so, let’s dive into this whole Hollow Knight: Silksong thing. If you haven’t heard, it’s the sequel everyone has been itching for, like a good scratch you can’t quite reach. Here, you’ll pick up the mantle of Hornet, our new silk-spinning hero, exploring the eerie kingdom of Pharloom. It’s funny, you know, because familiar faces might pop up from the old Hallownest days—maybe as a comforting nod to players or just because the devs thought, "Why not?"
Quirrel’s Back, Maybe?
Remember Quirrel? That guy was always roaming around with all sorts of philosophical ramblings. He might just find his way into Silksong, mainly because, well… exploring’s kind of his thing. And if he did show up, he’d probably give us the lowdown on how these different kingdoms connect. Or maybe he’ll just sit there thinking—who knows?
Mentor Material?
Now, picture this: Quirrel playing the wise old mentor role for Hornet. Unlikely? Maybe. But it’d be cool. They didn’t hang out much before, but they could totally vibe over battles and, like, ancient philosophical stuff. Plus, his last scene was a bit of a head-scratcher—everyone thought it was his end. Surprise us, Team Cherry!
Iselda and Cornifer’s Adventure
Okay, get this. The map-making duo, Iselda and Cornifer, are perfect to come back. Cornifer would be blissfully buried under maps somewhere in Pharloom—it’s kind of his thing. And maybe Iselda, who’s sick of shop life, just goes, "You know what? Screw it, I’m joining you." They could’ve gone global with their map gig, exploring new places to chart.
Linking Up with Hornet
And hey, they’ve met Hornet before, right? No need to jump through narrative hoops here. It’s like, they’re old pals, right?
Enter the Grimm Troupe
The Grimm Troupe with their spooky circus vibes and the ability to just, like, appear anywhere, could easily resurface. I mean, they’re like this traveling enigma that fits perfectly into the Silksong puzzle. Hornet and Grimm sharing a moment discussing traditions—they’d probably get each other.
Return of The Hunter
The Hunter, that mysterious creature obsessed with critters, definitely belongs in Pharloom. Picture him challenging Hornet to document new wildlife, picking up where he left off. He’d probably nod in approval at Hornet’s skills, maybe even see her as an equal. Might be a mentor, maybe a rival—either way, it’d be interesting.
How this all plays out, who knows? But one thing’s for sure, Team Cherry sure knows how to keep us guessing. And meanwhile, let’s hope these familiar faces help tie Silksong’s new world back to the original’s magic.
