The two titles although different in setting, to have a collaboration will be a great crossover. This isn’t the first time we have seen similar crossovers asVigil: The Longest Nightalso had a crossover withSalt and Sanctuarywhich featured a unique questline and familiar enemies as well as a weapon. Whether the crossover will be to this extent is too early to tell, but either way, it’s exciting to see a collaboration between these two indie titles, which we’ll be hearing more about tomorrow.
We’re still awaiting more news on the Hollow Knight sequel,Silksongwhich has had some details revealed but maybe we’ll hear more atThe Game Awardswhich are happening next month.
