Recently Hollow Knight developer Team Cherry teased that a big reveal will be taking place on Valentine’s Day with the game’s Hornet to be involved with the implied expansion that’s soon to be revealed. But instead, the Australian studio revealed that the DLC expansion instead is a sequel rather than an addition to the game due to the massive amounts of content packed in it.
