AReddituser named theotherquantumjim gave their 9 year-old a custom medal for completing a speedrun ofHollow Knightjust over 21 hours. While this is much slower than the fastestHollow Knightspeedrun, which comes in at an impressive 33 minutes, it’s still a thoughtful way for a parent to celebrate their child’s achievements, especially when it’s something that is important to them.
It’s nice to see some parents embracing their children’s love for video games in positive ways. All over the internet, there have been examples of parents supporting the passion their children feel for video games in unexpected ways. For instance, one mother gave their child abirthday cake that was themed afterRed Dead Redemption 2.
In any case, it’s amazing to see just how much longevityHollow Knighthas managed to maintain over the last several years. Following the game’s initial release back in 2017,Hollow Knighthas quickly become one of the greatestindie success storiesin the industry. However, there are fans that have been actively wondering what the future of theHollow Knightseries will entail.
It’s been over1000 days sinceHollow Knight: Silksongwas first revealed, and there has been little to no additional news regarding the game’s development. In fairness, Team Cherry is an incredibly small studio comprised of only three developers, and thus, the process of developing a game on the same scale asHollow Knightis no easy feat. Then again, games likeMetroid Prime 4are being developed by much larger studios, and it’s been equally as long since that game received a development update as well.
Hollow Knightis available on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
