Hollow Knight: Silksong contains what could be a cheeky reference to this year's prior headline success story from a smaller developer, Sandfall Interactive's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The needolin, for context, is a musical instrument that sometimes reveals apparitions and other ghostly activity, when plucked in the right area - read our Hollow Knight: Silksong walkthrough hub for more. Our James then dug out his savegame from our Hollow Knight: Silksong review and confirmed that the sequence is real. "For those who come after" is the name of a beloved orchestral track from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I also very much like that the apparent link is revealed through music, as though Hornet's soulful string-plucking had flittered across the void of commerce and raised an echo from the art nouveau necropolis of Expedition 33.
