During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/newsletters\/2025-11-28\/the-makers-of-hollow-knight-silksong-aren-t-done-just-yet\">a sweeping interview with Bloomberg\u2019s Jason Schreier<\/a>, in which the duo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/hollow-knight-silksong-dev-team-cherry-confirms-its-working-on-dlc-but-it-doesnt-know-when-it-will-come-out\">confirmed plans for Silksong DLC<\/a>, talk turned to what\u2019s next.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds like Team Cherry has yet to decide whether to make Hollow Knight 3 or a brand new video game, but Gibson and Pellen <em>are<\/em> thinking about how much time they have left to make video games at all.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"hollow-knight-silksong-video-review\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>\u201c&#8230; we do have other games that we plan to make,\u201d Gibson said. \u201cThe only time concern really is \u2014 and we\u2019ve talked about this before \u2014 death. It\u2019s not that far off if you spend seven years per project, and potentially add another two. So it\u2019d be nice to do a few more games. Apparently our timeframe still allows us to fit a few more in. Short of an unexpected tragedy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a grim thought, but one that&#8217;s been on the minds of a number of high profile video game developers. In 2023, ahead of the release of Starfield, Bethesda development chief Todd Howard said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/todd-howard-elder-scrolls-6\">The Elder Scrolls 6 may be the last game in the fantasy series he makes<\/a>, given how long the Microsoft-owned studio takes to make its games.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then as we look to an Elder Scrolls 6, that is one where&#8230; I probably shouldn&#8217;t say this, but if I do the math, I&#8217;m not getting any younger,\u201d Howard said. \u201cHow long do people play Elder Scrolls for? That may be the last one I do. I don&#8217;t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"faceoff\" data-id=\"fe5ffbaa-f46d-4714-979e-6ce0f3680783\"><\/section>\n<p>In May, 62-year-old Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima revealed he had thought about his own mortality during the Covid-19 pandemic, during which he became very sick. \u201cTurning 60 was less of a turning point in my life than my experiences during the pandemic,\u201d he said. \u201cI fell seriously ill at that time, and also had an eye operation. Until then, I didn\u2019t think I was old, you know? I just didn\u2019t feel my age, and I assumed I would be able to create for as long as I live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut then I became sick, and I couldn\u2019t create anything. And I saw lots of people around me passing away at that time. I was confronted with death. Of course, I recovered, but now I was thinking, \u2018Wait, how many years do I have left to make a game or a film?\u2019 Perhaps I have 10 years?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/metal-gear-creator-hideo-kojima-says-hes-left-his-staff-a-usb-stick-of-ideas-for-after-he-dies-kind-of-like-a-will\">Kojima even put a number of ideas on a USB stick and gave it to his assistant during the pandemic &#8220;kind of like a will,&#8221;<\/a> at a time when he was worried about his studio, Kojima Productions, and making sure the staff would continue to get paid if he was unable to make games.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"every-ign-kojima-game-review\" data-value=\"every-ign-kojima-game-review\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>As for Team Cherry, Gibson and Pellen said whatever they end up doing next, whether it\u2019s a brand new game or Hollow Knight 3, it\u2019ll be along similar lines to the games the studio has made before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have said we\u2019ll go elsewhere as well,\u201d Gibson said. \u201cAlthough we\u2019ve also said those experiences will still be about exploring big worlds full of weird characters and giant bosses and whatnot. So there would be a through line there that people will be familiar with. That\u2019s not to say we won\u2019t return to these Hollow Knight worlds. We do have ideas around what forms those would take.
